The weekend trip (Sat 21 - Sun 22)

On Saturday we met at 9:00 and left for Gyeongju. I couldn't sit next to Grace but ended up behind her. We had lunch at Keum River Resting Area. Our first major stop was Bool Kook Sa Temple. Then we went to check in at Kolon Hotel. We had dinner and then went to the tomb valley of the Shilla Dynasty. There was an astronomical observatory, An Ap Ji - Royal Lake Garden, and the Kings' Tombs. Then we went back to the hotel for a party. After a little while Grace and I left the party and went for a walk. We talked for awhile and ended up discussing "us" and all the practicality issues and tried to weigh the pros and cons. Once she decided to go to bed I went back to the party and helped clean up and get the drunk people back to their rooms.

Sunday we had an early breakfast and checked out of the hotel. Things were a little weird between Grace and I but we ended up sitting next to each other on the bus, which was nice. We went to Bo Moon Lake and some people rented mini bikes and others went on "duck boats" (paddle boats that look like swans). Then we went to Yangdong village. A traditional Korean village that was still working. After the village we headed back to the university. The trip back took about five hours. Grace and I talked for a while and listened to each others music. Eventually we fell asleep holding hands. Once we got back to the university I walked Grace back to her apartment and then went back to my dorm.
