in and around Gyeongju

somehow, i managed to make it away from Shihwa, shaking off what seemed like a 5 day hangover to visit Gyeongju on sunday night and monday morning before leaving for NZ.

this place is incredible. i most certainly want to return to see more of the history. 18 hours in the place, including sleeping time, was just not enough. gotta head back for a few days. if i come back to Korea, this is going to be a must! enjoy some pics








the mounds are Silla dynasty tombs, known as Tumuli, for kings and royalty. kinda like subtle pyramids, if you will.
