It’s a new lunar year. For the second year in a row I went to Gyeongju, but this time there was a larger group of people. We stayed at Hanjin Hostel, which I can honestly not recommend to anyone during the winter. Our room was cheap but not heated and the shower situation was abismal, in other words, get your shower in an unheated room outside just across from the building you’re sleeping in, also. I went to sleep in jeans, shirt, and socks. It’s little wonder I am suffering from another bout of bronchitis as i type this.

Accomadations aside, I was very happy to have had a camera for this trip and consequently there’s loads of photos from my 2nd trip online. Also i got to finally try my soup that cures a hangover, and I really enjoyed it. The experience itself was great too. Me, Kerri and Derek were ushered into a little restaraunt that would maybe seat about 8 people by a little old korean lady. She prepared our meals and all I can say is that the food was excellent. I am still surprised at how well I can eat for $4.

We got back to Daejeon late saturady night. On sunday I bought a motorcycle and practiced driving it around my neighborhood. The bike only cost $250, but it’s my first real motor vehicle and I love it! I’ve never been fond of cars, but I took to the bike right away. I love riding around on it. Here’s the bike!
