plague the living and cause all sorts of misfortune, so their spirits need placating. For
shamanists, death does not end relationships. It simply takes another form.
On Inwangsan in northwestern Seoul, ceremonies take place in or near the historic In-

FORTUNE-TELLING
These days most people visit one of the city's street-tent fortune-tellers for a bit of fun, but no doubt some take
it seriously. For a
saju
(reading of your future), inform the fortune-teller of the date, including the hour, of your
birth; another option is
gunhap
(a love-life reading)
,
when a couple gives their birth details and the fortune-tell-
er pronounces how compatible they are. Expect to pay ₩10,000 for
saju
and double that for
gunhap.
If you
don't speak the language, you'll also need someone to translate.
