One of my few complaints about Gyeongju is that there just aren’t many foreign restaurants here. Sure, Gyeongju has all your usual greasy fast food joints, but you’ve got to go all the way to Daegu to find a TGI Fridays or Outback Steak House. And if you’re itching for Thai or Mexican, just forget it. Luckily we [...]]]></description>

With the KTX slated to start running to Gyeongju by next Winter(fingers crossed), there’s been a lot of hustle and bustle around town lately  If you’re local you may have noticed there’s been a lot of construction downtown over this last year.  Seems the city decided to give a serious makeover to the pottery and [...]]]></description>

View Gyeongju Shopping in a larger map
Since there are about 24 new foreign teachers starting this semester at my university this semester, I thought I’d take a few minutes to slap together a short shopping guide for Gyeongju&#8217;s local foreigners. It’s pouring down rain today, so please excuse me for not running out and shooting [...]]]></description>

If you’re local, you may have noticed lately that coffee shops have been springing up downtown like mushrooms after a rain.  I’m an espresso addict who remembers the dark days when the only thing you could get here was instant hazelnut coffee, so these shops are practically manna from heaven.  

The coffee shop that kicked off [...]]]></description>

So I’ve been in Korea for a while now and honestly I’m a bit over the whole fried meat thing.  One samgyeopsol (삼겹살) joint taste like another to me anymore… but then there’s Dweaji Sanyang (돼지사냥) .  It’s downtown, just a stones through from the Daerungwon tombs and if you’re looking for a different experience [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Right around the corner from the train station is a curious piece of recent Gyeongju history (recent being it’s only a couple hundred years old rather than 1,500).  Over the last year or two the city’s been taking pains to restore the old Chosun era city walls and battlements of Gyeongju Eupseong (East fortress).

The calmness of the atmosphere never fails to move me and if you can catch it now when the gingko trees  are bright yellow, it’s just magic.   It’s a fairly large complex of buildings, so feel free to nose a round a bit.  The only part that’s not usually open to the public is the back part which I assume is only open for ceremonial holidays.]]></description>
