Wow! Big Spider


Inspired by Satoshi I myself hired a bike… for the day.  Fortunately the surrounding area is fairly flat.  I enjoyed the day on the bike but my butt didn’t.  I’m sure bicycles seats are called “blades”.  If not they should be!

On my journey I found many ancient royal graves and a really really cool temple, Bulguksa Temple.  I now understand a little of the animosity the Koreans have against the Japanese.  The Japanese invaded the Korean peninsula a lot.  And they destroyed much of it, quite often in fact.

Another interesting site is the Reunification Park.  Gyeongju it the ancient capital because it is the seat where three separate kingdoms were unified into one Korea.  It is called theReunification Park because there is a desire among the South Koreans to be reunited with the North.

Satoshi ran into some bad luck this day.  To cheer him up I bought him his dinner.  Well worth it!
