Gyeongju + Ulsan




#ootd #selfie first thing in the morning =P

The itenerary for this day was to go meet my student, Jasmine and visit Gyeoungju and her city, Ulsan. It takes about 1 hour from Busan to Gyeongju by car and travel was really smooth as there was no traffic when we went there.



We got there around lunch time so Jasmine and her mom treated us to this very popular restaurant.
It was a Saturday, so the resto was crowded. We waited around 30mins before we were able to seat inside.
But it's alright since there was a waiting area where you can get free coffee and tea. Yey!



It's a good thing we already ordered. When we got seated, the food was immediately served and woah its soooo much! It's a feast!


"Sundubu Jeongsik"




After lunch, we headed to our main purpose in visiting Gyeongju which was the Gyeongju Bulguksa. A temple listed also as a UNESCO World Heritage site



A very scenic pond will greet you as you enter the temple grounds.







I wish I got to wear a Hanbok and take pics of myself here hehe

Dabo-tap (Many treasure Pagoda)





Touching this golden pig will bring us good fortune!



After the temple tour, we went to Jasmin's house in Ulsan to rest and have snacks.
We were served with the sweetest strawberries and cherry tomatoes on earth! lol

We weren't able to roam around Ulsan since we were a bit tired but...



come dinner time, it was a feast again! Samgyeopsal! wuhooo <3



couldn't get more authentic than this! 
This is probably my biggest consumption of grilled pork in a night ever! haha
