Getting there

About

Holiday in a holy place: Waegwan Abbey — Korea's Benedictine monastery with a medieval-European air — opens for light installations ('cathedral of light', 'dream forest'), Gregorian chant and pipe-organ concerts, talk shows with a young priest, monastery tours with monks, and monk's-habit photo booths.
