wow this weekend was HUGE! Friday was a day off from my work so at about 12pm we got on the KTX and went to Gyeongju.
Once we got there we took a taxi to the hotel. Gyeongju is a little different from most cities as there are not many tall buildings around. We arrived at the hotel an I saw that it was right on the lake which was a lovely sight.
First stop was the Sex Museum... now if you ask about Gyeongju to any Korean they will tell you all about the historic places but I have yet to hear anyone talk of this place. Its not far from Shilla Millennium Park.
So the following is a R19 (Korean Rating :) slideshow of what can be seen there... look if you dare.
.....But first a picture that I can show here :)
Later that night we went to a fantastic performance... well worth seeing of you get the chance!
Miso II. An epic korean musical. A prince fighting for his princess. Perhaps too large for the small stage that it was on but it was a spectacle.
Here is the cast:
The next day we had a walk around a few places locally so here is a slideshow of some of the scenery:
Shilla Millennium Park.
One of the famous places to go and visit it has some of the buildings and locations of where some of Korea's soap operas and I assume movies have been shot. Also there are some performances that can be seen there as well.

We got a little adventurous in the afternoon and spontaneously decided to go to Busan which is only half an hour away by KTX. There was a special event being held in Busan this year called G Star a gaming expo.
But before we get to that here are a couple of shots of fabulous Busan architecture:
G Star:
There were a few thousand people still there around 4pm when we arrived on Saturday afternoon. Most of the crowd had started to disappear as the show finished for the day at 6pm but my guess there were a few 10's of thousands left milling around at the event.
There were many game manufacturers there exhibiting their wares and plenty of opportunities to play games if you wanted to line up. A tank game appeared to be the main attraction as there were a couple of real tanks there to promote it. Anyway here are some pictures and a slideshow to give you an idea about it:

And if you were wondering....
Yes there were computer gaming girls :)
Check them out....
Phew! Ok so that was all for last weekend....
This week I managed to buy another battery for my DLSR camera so more videos? on the way perhaps.
This week also promises to be a fairly big one too so stay tuned for more of the same :)
Until next week have a fantastic time! :)
