Postcards From Gyeongju...

We leave Gyeongju in a few hours and indeed yesterday had been exciting - we did an incredible whirlwind tour of significant sites of this ancient Silla capital.
Like every other city in the world, Gyeongju does have its unique beauty but also its unique quirks. Postcards From Gyongju showcases some of them here... 


Holic? I am probably Gyeongju-holic by now...


From the GS convenience store - a nipple concealer. What do I say on this? 


The Gyeongju skyline - all Korean style lowrises...


 This is quite a different site from what we see in Songdo...


The mounds next to our homestay. Gyeongju city is dotted with historic sites - small and big...


Korean style traditional roofs...


This is supposed to be a teahouse...


The mounds again...


And that makes me inquisitive on the story behind these mounds...


Another set of mounds in the commercial centre of Gyeongju...


It is amazing how modern Gyeongju co-exists with the ancient relics...


The Gyeongju Eupseong fortress site - this is also in the marketplace...


The fortress walls...


There is an "Angel-in-us" in Seoul and an "Angelish" coffeeshop here! May you become angelic after having a coffee here...


The Uptown Girl is Forever With You!



Luwak coffee - the famous civet coffee from Indonesia...
