Korea : the way back to Seoul
En français
On the way back to Seoul I tried to take several picture of the landscape. Korea is really filled with mountains everywhere I had been. We stopped in Daegu which I didn't visit this time but plan on visiting next time I will go to Korea. I still have a lot to discover about this wonderful country.

Korea, Gyeongju : museum and traditional wedding
En français
I then went back to the city center, I had first planned to go to the expo park but it was a bit far away from the bed and breakfast where I had let my bag. The father of the owner took me back to the bus station to get my ticket back to Seoul but I still had two hours left before taking the bus so we went to the National Museum where a guide explained me about the different meaning of the piece of pottery and jewelery in the museum, it seems that a lot was related to fertility and to longevity, probably due to the fact that people were dying young at that time. Then we went to the site of a traditional Korean wedding before going back to the bus terminal.

En français
The next morning after eating a traditional Korean breakfast, I took the bus for 양동 마을 (Yangdong Maeul), a old Korean village presenting houses for the 15th century.
