8 Aug 2009, Wanting to learn about Korean history, I come to 경주 Gyeongju, the capital of the Kingdom of Silla. I
explore the Royal Tombs, anciant Palace Grounds, and the National Museum. Then the evening ends with a nice
stroll along the river.
1 Nov 2009, Wanting to explore more of Masan in the cool fall weather, I wander into northern Masan to visit the
3.15 National Cemetery, commemorating those who faught for democratic freedom in 1960 Masan.
6 Jun 2009, It can be very easy to live someplace and never visit its tourist attractions. We just think there's always tomorrow and we have so many other places to visit in other cities. And so to avoid this common
pitfall, I get myself out into Masan and hike up their tall 무학산 Muhaksan, a 761 meter mountain on the edge of the city.
31 May 2009, So today I explore a bit of Masan. I start by walking through 경남대학교 Kyung Nam University and through
the higher-elevation part of the city for a little view of the bay.
24 Oct 2009, With the arrival of autumn and the changing of the leaves, I head to the scenic Jirisan National Park
and learn a little more about Korean history and culture.
16 Aug 2009, My second full day in Seoul is spent at another royal Joseon palace, hiking up Namsan, and the joy that
is the Lotte Giants playing Korean baseball.
