Gyeong-Ju

Some facts about Gyeong-Ju: Gyeongju was the capital of the ancient kingdom of Silla. The Silla kingdom arose at the turn of the 1st millennium, and ruled most of the Korean Peninsula by the 7th century until the 9th centuries. A vast number of archaeological sites from this period remain in the city.


Entrance to Bulguksa Temple constructed in 751 AD.

First Air Jordans.

Me in front of the East and North Guardians of Bulguksa Temple. They were created to keep the bad spirits and demons away.


Demons that have been kept out of Bulguksa by the Guardians. Curiously, both guys got eyes that look like my friend, B.


Divine Bell of King Seongdeok at Gyeong-Ju National Museum.
