Bulguksa

It's said that Bulguksa, built in 528, is the oldest temple in Korea. It's also a World Heritage added in 1995 with Seokguram.

I went there by bus with many other visitors. After got off the bus, there was a slope to the temple. Booths of food filled the roadsides, the owners friendly called out to me before I bought their foods.

I can't remember much about Bulguksa except the stairs of the entrance. Though they're not used anymore, it's still magnificent. The temple has no glazing colors, and stone materials is light yellow. It's likely another kind of stone different from white marble, a common material used in temple or palace building in China.

When I felt thirsty, luckily I found a spring. I recognized I was in the mountain where the water was pure. I stored a bottle of it.

 I had no time to visit Seokguram though it was near Bulguksa. I asked the schedule of the bus bound for Singoguryeo Station in advance and considered I could arrived at the station before the KTX left. But I was wrong. I was so tired that slept in the bus. It seemed the bus went through downtown and picked up many noisy students. I slept and slept until the terminal, Singoguryeo Station. I woke up but still muddled, seeing people were coming out of the station. It meant KTX had left -- only before several minutes. And it also meant I should wait for the next train for extra an hour and a half. That's really a bad case of timetable manager.
