Late Nights, Early Get-ups

Okay so more on the backtracking of events and photos.

1. Trip to Gyeongju for the Hallyu Dream Concert.
Location: Gyeongju
Weather: Rain-Sun-Rain-Sun
Last week we went to a Korean province that was like 5 hours away by bus.
We came for the one obvious reason - a concert!
Free for foreigners plus the biggest acts in the Kpop industry!
But more on that later. Quite disappointing really that night.

So, now Gyeongju. Its said to be a cultural province of Korea. You want traditional, this is the best location. Temple roofed houses and numerous roads lined with little restaurants. They were famous for their ginseng chicken which we didn't get a taste of. And one thing you won't miss while wandering around the brick lines roads is their local specialty: Barley Bread. (I'm disappointed wasn't able to buy some. Emphasizing the fact that Bread and I share a strong bond.)

Stayed in HanJin Hostel. Seriously, the online information on their website sounds better than it actually was. Well, structuraly - yes, the owner's son (i think) made the stay a bit better since he was so helpful. Nothing much to add though since we weren't able to tour around all the historical places around the area. I wanted to see the flower garden and the lotus pond but time was just limited. Got some beautiful pictures though from the ancient tombs and park. Walking around the tourist spots of the park I remember the lectures in my History 18 class where Mr. Lozada told us the story of the Sauromatians - a tribe in antiquity which resembled the Amazonians or maybe actually be them. Just take a look at the photos. Weather was not very nice though with the numerous drizzles.

Here's a photo of our dinner that day. After all that searching for our friends who got lost, it was a bit irritating i must add, just ask me personally why if you guys are interested. WE WERE SO HUNGRY.

The baggage for this trip

Day of the concert!

Waited for a good 6 hours just to get in.

New friends Tasi and Gina from Germany who are avid Hottests and idolize Taecyeon.

More photos in the concert's stadium plus the show proper.

Concert schedule was 7:00PM - 10:00PM but nope. We left at 10:30-ish. And still evidently no Super Junior. Not even the performances of 2AM and SHINee! This is where most of the utmost disappointment comes in. But at least we made our 4-hour train, the last train out of Gyeongju that night to Seoul.
