We took the bus to Bulguksa(불국사), which is a very famous temple in Korea.
我們搭公車前往韓國一間非常著名的世界文化遺產寺廟--佛國寺。
To my surprise, we had to buy the tickets (4,000W). Although I knew that it's necessary to have money to get repaired, it's not only a temple, it's a famous temple. It means that maybe hundreds or thousands of tourists visit there per day...and hmmm... if the price can be cheaper, it'll be better.
沒想到竟然要買票才能進去，老實說我還滿意外的，因為這是我第一次買票進去寺廟。雖然我知道維護古蹟要花不少錢，但是那個門票還真不算便宜，而且這是間頗負盛名的寺宇，想想每天有多少人購票入門....
This temple is famous for its history. In my opinion, in addition to its history, this wasn't a very breathtaking place with considering the price, but, still, a visitworthy place.
我們參觀完佛國寺的心得就是，這間寺廟真的就是有名在它有名。除此之外，低於我們的預期，我們以為會看到讓我們覺得：「哇！」的東西，畢竟也付錢才進得來，但看到的東西甚至比有些不用錢的廟宇更......。不過如果對歷史有研究的人，一定要來一遭。
It was celebrating someone's birthday that day.
當天剛好有慶祝儀式。
Besides, it's forbidden to photograph those constructions too close, so I couldn't walk closer. This was the first time I encountered this kind of situation in a temple.
這張照片大概是攝影最近的距離了，因為我朋友走的再近一點就被禁止攝影。為什麼呢？這也是我們第一次遇到不能拍照的廟。

觀音松
The main gate. I entered via the back gate.
這才是大門，我們是從後門進去的。
What a nice gas station!
真不愧是慶州，連加油站也這麼古色古香。
After lunch, we kept walking up to 석굴암(石窟庵).. another 1 or 2 hours.
There's another way up there--taking a bus, but we loved to walk there. There were so many squirrels on the way.
午餐之後，雖然有公車可以直上石窟庵，但是我們一如往常決定用走的，大約一到兩個鐘頭，我們中途有休息一下，因為真的太熱了。沿路好多松鼠，這也是選擇步行的優點。
Some people even carried a bicycle when walking...
有的人還扛著腳踏車上山，並且健步如飛，我們真是慚愧！
We had to pay again, also 4,000W.
石窟庵一樣要購票才能進場。
The entrance to 석굴암.
另一個世界文化遺產石窟庵的入口。
It's not allowed to take photos inside.
It should be like this : http://goo.gl/K20kw
裡面是不能拍照的。
However, to my surprise again, we could only see those statues via a big window... yeah I know they're trying to protect it but... it wasn't that magnificent in this way. There's also a temple in a cave in 설악산, which is more real.
我以為能看到跟照片中一樣的景象，那麼即使不能拍照也值得，但是沒想到我們只能從一層厚厚的玻璃窺探其中...我知道世界文化遺產是要保護，但是老實說我覺得這麼一來，看到的那煞那真的有種沒價值的感覺。
In brief, it's a must-go place if you know the history very well. Although I didn't know much, I still tried to feel the history.
這趟的結論就是，如果你了解韓國的歷史，一定要來一趟佛國寺和石窟庵。雖然我對韓國沒有任何的了解，不過在這趟慶州之旅中，我也盡我所能的感受這個古都帶給我的氣息。
On the way back to Seoul, we bought 경주빵, which is stuffed with red bean paste and the crust tasted like mooncake.
回首爾之前，我們買了慶州的名產--慶州麵包，有點像是薄薄的月餅餅皮，包滿了紅豆沙餡，頗甜。
This, sort of like Dorayaki, was for free, but I think Dorayaki is better.
老闆贈送的銅鑼燒，不怎樣。
I didn't know there's also another bus called "우등" in addition to "고속" until this trip, but more expensive.
原本我們以為只有回首爾的巴士只有高速巴士，但是沒想到還有另一種更貴更多班次的，不過我們還是選擇了高速巴士，因為已經不便宜了，我們最多的就是時間。
We went to the supermarket near the bus terminal to buy some snacks and 막걸리 for the journey back to Seoul.
上車前，我們去轉運站附近的超市買了些零食和慶州馬格利，當作回程時的糧食。
There was a little incident while we were waiting for the bus: There was one guy who left his cell phone in the waiting room and my friend saw it, so she grabbed the phone, going out to look for the guy.
Even though everyone of us knows someone may need help, there're not so many people giving a hand. Some people don't care about it, and some others think too much.
在我們等車的時候有一個小插曲發生，有一個男生把手機留在候車室就去搭車了，我朋友一看到馬上衝去拿他的手機、並一輛一輛車子找那個人。她的行動力和善心實在非常值得令人學習，世界上就是需要這種人。
And the result was the guy came back and gave my friend a drink in return.
I think it's a good, quick, effective way to show appreciation to strangers.
後來那個男生在車子發動前，下來買了一瓶飲料答謝我朋友，在這趟旅程中，我發現這就是韓國人答謝人最迅速的方式。這點還不錯，值得學起來，快速又簡便，勝過一句多謝。
