The History Lesson

Day 3

Overall, it seemed like we were having a historical lesson today. Visited 4 places in total. All of them are about olden days Korean Silla Dynasty.

Everybody was so tired in the mornin due to the party last night. The thought of visiting a temple did not excite me at all. Seen too much of it in my place and on TVs. Furthermore, the view in summer is just all green. Unlike the autumn which we see nice colourful scenery. We did not hang around long as rain came pouring down. We moved to the Seokgulam Grotto.


At the Seokgulam grotto, everthing was foggy. It feels like I am in a forest or movie set as we climb the hill in the cool air. The way up was so tiring. The statue however, was very impressive. I am glad that it is not one of those gold Buddha statue. Headed back to the hostel for a little rest.

We woke up round evening for another round of historical stuff. This time, we are visiting the royal tombs. Sounds exciting to me. As it is actually a tomb garden. There are so many tombs here and they are all royal tombs. They looked like those hills that we used to draw in our play school when we were young. Haha. We forced ourselves to take photos despite the rain as the park really looked special to me.


When we reach Anapji Pond, it was rainin cats and dogs. I really hate this. The pedestrian ways are muddy too. We left as soon as we can to enjoy a nice barbecue dinner before heading back to the hotel for another round of parttttteeeeeeeee.

Shot of Day 3. Loved the feel of us charging in front of the photo. Hehe. This could have been a advertisement. Anyone need a part time model? Need a job. Hehe.
