Even though today is Easter, there is absolutely no sign of that in the hotel or anywhere
outside. The only signs of Easter that I saw were in our bus. Someone had brought
chocolate eggs from home and shared them with us. Also, while traveling on the road, we
had an Easter Egg Hunt on the bus for the youngest member of our group. The precious
plastic Easter egg we had somehow got hidden in the most unexpected places, generating a
lot of fun and laughter.
This morning we drove northeast to Mungyeong where the filming site for Emperor Wang
Gun and Age of Warriors was located.

After a long walk (in the freezing cold) from the bus, we finally saw the fortress wall that
served as the entrance to the filming site. If you continue walking to the back of the filming
site, you will see the front gate to the Baekjae Palace.
