As part of that trip, I made my very first visit to a Buddhist temple, learned how to properly mix bibimbop, how not to burn garlic while cooking galbi, and rode a bike 30+ kilometers. It seemed fitting that six years later I would return to GyeongJu to celebrate Constitution Day.We took the bus from the Express Bus Terminal next to Dongdaegu Station (cost about $3.70), and it took approximately one hour to get in to GyeongJu.
