  • Bulguksa Temple, South Korea
    Bulguksa Temple, South Korea Bulguksa is often regarded as the 'Museum Without Walls' Very few structures around the world can match the architectural beauty and aesthetic appeal of the Bulguksa Temple in South Korea. Located in Gyeongju city, often referred as the 'Museum Without Walls', this 8 th-century Buddhist temple is a delicately constructed masterpiece. The temple is known for its immense religious significance. The wooden structure of the temple rests on a raised platform of stone. At this temple complex, you experience the spiritual enlightenment your soul yearns for. History The construction of the Temple started during the reign of King Beop-Heung of Silla Kingdom in 5 th century AD. It was completed in 774 AD under the dominion of King Hye-Gong and got its present name – Bulguksa Temple. Several renovations took place over the next few centuries. Bulguksa is believed to be designed by the legendary architect Kim Daeseong. UNESCO enlisted this temple and the Seokguram Grotto as a World Heritage Site in 1995. What to Do at Bulguksa Temple ? Visiting Bulguksa Temple is akin to witnessing the richness of Buddhist art along with the ancient culture and architectural assets. The temple complex houses relics including Seokgatap and Dabotap (two of the most valued pagodas in the country), the Golden-seated Amita Figure, and the Vairocana Buddhist Figure. Theses two relics were designated as the national treasure of Korea in 1962. The Dabotap and Seokgatap pagodas stand at a height of 10.4 meters and 8.2 meters respectively. These two relics separate the Mauve Mist Gate called Jahamun and the hall housing the Sakyamuni Buddha known as Daeungjeon.

  • South Korea – 2016
    South Korea { 2016 This year the annual conference I usually go to, ISMD (International Symposium on Multiparticle Dynamics) was on Jeju Island, South Korea. After some grumbling about the high travel cost, it was agreed that I could go. After some searching I found the cheapest flights to be flying from Amsterdam to Seoul and returning from Osaka, Japan, unfortunately not by a direct flight but with a transfer in Paris. Then started intensive planning of sightseeing in Korea before the conference and Japan after. I discovered that there is now a Michelin Green Guide for South Korea and also one for Japan. They were, together with intensive Googling, very helpful in planning the trip. Wednesday, 17 August. At Schiphol it seemed as though no one was flying. There were almost no lines at security or at passport control. Perhaps it was due to the lateness of the flight, which was scheduled to depart, and in fact did depart, at 21:35. The plane left from the far end of the E-pier, which was nice in that it gave you a bit of movement before being cooped up in a full 747 for 10 hours. I had checked a suitcase and hence had only a small carry-on. So I didn't have to worry about boarding early enough to be sure of finding room in an overhead bin. Thursday, 18 August. We landed a few minutes ahead of the scheduled 14:40, at the end of a very long pier. Walking the length of the pier only got you to an underground tram, which brought you to another building.
