Been more than a year since my last post, and can't imagine the numerous changes that has occurred within this time! Probably one of the biggest changes in my life, for someone who is as homesick as me, I have decided to go abroad for studies. And yet to the popular-for-tourism but not-so-popular-for-studies country, South Korea.
And of course, another adventure of photography for me,
yay! But reaching here, finding out that doing street photography is not very encouraging, really brings my mood down. >.< Smartphones here even have a un-disabled-able loud camera shutter sound whenever you take a photo! @_@ So, I am thankful to have one from my own country, although it is still uncomfortable trying to take street photos around, imagining you might be stared or scolded by an ahjuma or ahjussi nearby.
Anyhow, adventure is still adventure. My Nik is more for scenery shooting now. Last vacation, got the chance to visit the oldest and most historical location that we have been studying in our books for 3 semesters - Gyeongju! Loved the place honestly, a small town but with Buddhism culture and great historical sites and stretches of nature! Vow to return for discovery of the Namsan again!

| @Cheonmachong Tomb - the signature of Korea, the Taeguk |
 |
| @Bulguksa Temple - One of my favorite places. The aroma of Buddhism is awesome here. |
 |
| @Bulguksa Temple - the main Shrine in the temple |

| @Seokguram - UNESCO World Heritage Site with Bonjon statue of the Bodhisattva. The Bodhisattva statue is one of the best I have seen, with a generous smile and calming figure. |
 |
| @Cheomseongdae Observatory - it is smaller than I imagined :P |
 |
| @Anapji Pond - one of the highlights of the trip. Night view is awesome here, and the first time seeing many DSLR photographers flocked together (rarely finding serious phtography hobbyists here really)! |
Coming up soon with more from Daehan Minguk!!
