Gyeongju

I know it has been a while since I posted so i will get you up to speed by posting a few blogs in the next couple of days on what is going on over here in Korea. About 3 weeks ago myself, Jessica, and Katia went to Gyeongju. Gyeongju not to be confused with Gonju, or Gwangju (yes they like the sound of this name obviously!). Gyeongju is known for being the ancient capitol of the Shilla kingdom in Korea. There are many great things to see there as such as the national museum, a great temple, and a famous Buddha statue. Apparently Bulgoksa is the most visited temple in Korea and I see why. It was beautiful. Now that I have been here I am starting to feel that once you have seen one temple you have seen them all. This made me a little skeptical to take the 4 hour trip to see the sites. It was well worth it though. This temple was very different than those I have seen yet. Here is a link to my photos.... Enjoy!!
