Gwangju

Gwangju is supposedly well known for its art and culture (paintings, traditional crafts). Unfortunately we just missed their art festival which ended a day before we arrived. And most of the stalls weren't open when we were there..which was a shame.

Works of budding artists on display at the subway station.

Works during their middle age.



Epic works produced at the peak of their artisan careers. I couldn't resist a caress.

For our lunch, we went to a famous BBQ restaurant, which was recommended by the locals, for some barbequed pork.

Pretty classy and good ambience for a BBQ place.

We ordered a bottle of soju, which turned out to be complimentary (i love their 'service'). Our faces were still red when we boarded the taxi to the bus terminal. The taxi driver asked us if we drank soju and we just laughed it off.

Cheers! Eh, wheres my cup?

The skyline as we boarded the bumpy bus ride back. Took us 5 hrs to get back to Seoul. It was so bad that I nearly puked on the bus...for anyone going there next time, I recommend taking an express train, KTX.
