Actually, I'm pretty sure everyone makes a joke about Tellytubby Land when they go to Gyeongju, Korea's old capital from the Silla dynasty years, but I never claimed to be original. Gyeongju is about the only city in Korea that looks much different to the rest, with a complete lack of tall buildings and built around a huge area of parkland and historical sites. It's also very accessible by bicycle, so Nick and I naturally chose the most run-down bike shop in the town, secured a couple of broken-ass machines and set off past the six better bike shops just around the corner, and off into Gyeongju itself...
The mounds above are where Teeny Weeny and the Noo-noo hoover up their tubby toast. Or where several Silla kings are buried. I'll let you guess which.
"Ain't nature wonderful? Makes me think about drinking..."
"C'monument then you w******s"
"Oooh... what a big monument!"
A peaceful meander through the parks of Gyeongju.
Anapji Pond. This was like the chillout room for the Gyeongju rave scene.
