Gyongju city: Buddhist Temple and Go Karts

So a few weekends ago we went, with our other coworkers, to Gyongju, an ancient city near ours. In old times the Korean peninsula was divided into 3 provinces, and the capital city of one of the provinces was Gyongju. So it is very very old. We visited one of the main Buddhist temples that has been restored (and is still in use to this day). It is over a millenium in age, so its pretty cool, its definately the oldest place I've been, architechturally speaking.

Following the visit, we went down the road and stopped for a rousing ride at 'Kart Valley'...a local Go Karting track. I'm not sure what to say, it definately marred my first peaceful Buddhist experience... but who am I kidding, they're go karts, it was awesome.
