Happy reading!!!
Happy reading!!!
My first trip while in Korea was in March 2010 and together with my friends from SNU Buddy (I will write an entire post on them) went to Gyeongju (경주) for 1 night and 2 days.I am sure that most of you are familiar with the drama "Queen Seon Duk" and so I was so excited to be there that I called my mom all the way to Romania to let her know.We went to visit her "home" aka tomb

| I believe this was the Queen's crown but I'm not 100% sure |
After a five hours bus ride we had had our lunch and it was very tasty!!! All Korean food is tasty anyway.
Queen Seon Duk of Silla was very wise and excelled in many things.During her reign she built the "Star-Gazing Tower" , the first observatory in Far East.

We visited more Royal tombs and the place were the biggest Buddhist temple in Korea used to be but all is left from it's on this map
is this
You might have heard of the Bulguksa Buddhist Temple which is considered a National Treasure and in 1995 was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.I love Korean temples,they are so colorful and peaceful at the same time.
And I cannot post this update without introducing our translator for the trip Mr.Kim Min Soo (he will be mentioned a lot in my posts along with some other dear SNU Buddy friends).

On the way back to Seoul we stopped by at the beach to take some tourist photos.

| Is there,can you see it? |
Some of the photos that we took came out great but one thing I will remember from this trip is how NOT to take photos.

| Oh dear,is the wind |
And take 2

| I think that Minsoo was to excited that he didn't had to translate for us anymore,and for Jinhyung-No Comment |
