Pillow Fort / 경주 / Thanksgiving

























Another busy weekend, quiet night Friday in 각산.  Saturday morning I had 한국어 학원, afterwards headed out to a pension outside of 경주.  Dropped our stuff off, built a pillow fort, and then did some touristing (visited some tombs).  Sophie and Julian said it was fine to climb up them.  Got shouted at when we got to the top, presumably because there were signs saying not to.  But as I was up there anyway I took some photos and then climbed down.  So used my 위국 allowance on Sat to trespass.....


We grabbed some traditional gyeongju roll things which were delicious and headed to an old palace which overlooked a nice (manmade?) lake.  Sunday was really lovely so we hit a temple.  The picture with the coin is showing that its the same pagoda as is on the 50 Won.  After that headed to 울산 for Thanksgiving, which ended up being a little Christmassy which was nice.  Lots and lots of delicious food, even made mulled wine and played some games.


I've also booked skiing/snowboarding for the first weekend in Jan which should be super fun.  Gotta go pay for it today so money'll be tight until next Friday -thankfully payday is coming just as I'm going to Seoul for SantaCon.  Quiet weekend next week, will head through to Busan and maybe hit the Daegu Botanics after Korean school as I've heard that its nice now in the greenhouses.




Korean Countryside, not a tower block in sight!
This tower is on the 50W
