So this blog post is exceptionally photo heavy...even for me! This is because they were taken on a DMOE organised trip to Gyeongju! This trip was amazing...a day off school (I sound like a child saying that but it was pretty blissful), completely free and visiting a beautiful place I had been wanting to visit since I was still at home researching Korea! For unknown reasons I still hadn't managed to get to Gyeongju so I guess it was fate that this trip came along! It was a great way to see the city because we got ferried around between the sights and also got to experience 'cultural activites' such as participating in a tea ceremony, korean crafts. kite flying and much much more! Pretty unbelievable that Daegu's Ministry of Education bother to put on such an event. They even put us in a lovely fancy hotel! Seriously lucky teachers!
