Oct 2004 saw out 10th wedding anniversary. To celebrate, we visited Gyeongju, the ancient
capital of Korea for a scenic few days. This first video shows us taking the KTX from Seoul station - Korea's new high-speed train,
Gyeongju station, our hotel, a huge Korean meal and a rather special cappucino. Music courtesy of
the Hollies - The Air That I Breathe.

Shania Twain's You're Still The One seemed appropriate for the day we mountain biked 20km around the
major sites of the city visiting the famous 12th century mound tombs of Korean kings and queens. You'll also
see a typical sight in Gyeongju at this time of year - people laying rice out to dry on the pavements. Watch out
for the trip down memory lane in the middle of this one!

The final video features Eva Cassidy's Anniversary Song and shows us taking a walk off the beaten
track in the farming communities surrounding the city. It also shows us enjoying a free lunch we were invited to
at a temple, the bakery where the famous souvenir snacks are made and us finally heading home.

Using our timelapse setting on our video camera we shot this from 5pm until 7am the next day.
Each minute the camera took a second of video.
Finally, we speeded the whole thing up with video editing software.
Seorak is a huge national park about three hours' drive from Seoul.
