Gyeongju!
No pictures...I'm on the motel's computer.
Today, I left Seoul and headed to Gyeongju. I'm staying the night at the Hanjin Jang Hostel. Mr. Kwon got me set up in a room, maps, recommendations on sight seeing, and a resaurant recommendation. I wandered around the city a little. There are many street markets (mostly food), and the city is littered with anicent tombs. The tombs are big mounds, like random hills, everyone. At night the ones by the park and the trees are lit up by flood lights. When I got back, Mr. Kwon asked me if I had eaten, I replied no, and he said, "He is going to eat. You can go together." "He" turned out to be a PHD student from Singapore that is here for a conference. Mr. Kwon called the restuarant to tell them we were coming. After coming back, I got to chat with Mr. Kwon and two women, one from Japan and the other from Norway. Tomorrow, I will do some real sight seeing.
