Call to Prayer

Korea is nominally a Budhist country, but also has a strong Christian following.  However, there are pockets of other faith communities such as the Muslim community in Itaewon in Seoul.  We spent an afternoon wandering around Itaewon when we heard the evening call to prayer and followed the worshipers to this mosque, sited at the top of the hill at the end of a narrow lane. There was a rush of worshippers up the steps of the mosque who were attempting to be in place before prayer-time.
