Yangdong Village

Yangdong Village
Just some snaps from Yangdong Village in Gyeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do.

My vacation ended today, so I’m finally back home after a last day trip to Gyeongju’s Yangdong Village for the upcoming issue of SEOUL magazine.

In case you haven’t seen them, here are all my vacation photo essays… for your viewing enjoyment:

Day 1: Road to No Gun Ri
Day 2: Modern Architecture of Cheongju and Sewang Brewery
Day 3: Colonial Plantations of Iksan and Nabawi Catholic Church
Day 4: Mokpo: An Outdoor Museum of Colonial Korea

Welcome home. Yangdong Village is about ten minutes from where I live. A great place. Your photos remind me of something I learned after eleven years in country from, a Korean professor just a few days ago: Korean buildings are meant to be seen from the inside looking out.

Did you get to the old Shinto shrine in downtown while you were in Gyeongju?

Not this time. But I did last year:

Damn! I wish you had been in Yangdong, Robert. I, like the Western Confucian, also live about 10 minutes from there!

I wish *I had known* that you had been in Yangdong. WC, drop me a line at tmc1233 AT yahoo {dot} com. We seem to be neighbors…
