Hi. I am very glad to hear that you like the city a lot. Even though I am currently living in Pohang that is extremely close to Gyeongju (40 mins by bus), I have been there only twice. Your posting makes me wanna visit Gyeongju more often. Thanks for the nice posting :-)

Ugly !! You should also try Saki, (rice wine) I drank a fair amount of that while stationed in Kunsun , Korea . It was consumed normally at gatherings while seated with Americans ,and Koreans. It was it a pail, and was passed around while everyone is seated in a circle, people in the circle take a drink ,and pass it around. It made for some pretty bad Hangovers !! It sounds like you are enjoying yourself ,and the Koreans are a very Friendly Folks !! Keep your blog going was a great Idea !!
