Bulguksa Temple, Gyeongju City

On the last day of my recent trip to Gyeongsangbuk-Do (North Gyeongsang Province) in Korea I visited Bulguksa Temple in Gyeongju City. Following are some pictures I took on the temple grounds.

PC-Bang in Gyeongju

The last couple of days has been quite interesting. Sunday night I made the sudden decision to go to Pohang. I got on a bus at Express Bus Terminal -- from where I wrote my previous post -- and arrived in Pohang around 2:30 am. The last few days have involved lots of travelling and sightseeing. Tomorrow will be a highlight as I will visit the Seokguram Grotto, something I've been wanting to do for a very long time.

So far I've taken many photos and even made some drawings. It seems that the only time I draw is when I'm on vacation -- like the drawing I made while at Gyeonpo, another coastal town. I will upload some photos and drawings when I return.

Tonight, after I got myself a room at a motel I went out to get dinner and stroll around the streets of Gyeongju, but soon found myself lost. I probably walked for an hour trying to find my motel. I must have walked in circles for a long time -- eventually I found it again, but instead of doing the wise thing and go home, I decided to find a PC-bang (Internet Cafe) to check my emails. Hopefully when I leave the PC-bang I will find the motel again . . .
