National Treasure #23

Walking around the Bulguk-sa Temple compound in Gyeongju city, I noticed some bushes with interestingly shaped leaves. They reminded me of a certain herb so I set about taking some shots. The Indonesian delegate who happened to walk past said, "Apa lagi di gambar ni, masa di Bruney ngga ada daunan sih?" (loosely translated - "What are you taking pictures of now? Don't they have leaves in Brunei?") I don't know about you but I found that rather funny.

What do they remind you of?
