Lydia and I spent last Saturday in Gyeongju, the ancient capital of the Silla dynasty. This picture was taken at the entrance of Bulguksa, possibly the largest Buddhist temple there. Gyeongju is about fifty minutes away from Daegu by express bus. We also spent many moments sipping coffee in various places. Lydia is seen here, at the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in downtown Daegu, where we shared a slice of rich, authentically and intensely flavored green tea cheesecake.
