​​Welcome to Gyeongju
"the Museum without Walls"

One of the most popular tourist destinations in the Republic of Korea, Gyeongju combines a rich cultural heritage with mountain and coastal scenery. Explore a World Heritage-listed historic area packed with rock carvings, tumuli, temples, and pagodas, then visit a history museum and a folk village to shop for authentic handicrafts. Gyeongju vacations can also take advantage of the pine-forested long beach with a seawater spa. Scenic hills just five minutes away from downtown offer pleasant hiking, with numerous Buddhist stone carvings and shrines en route. The city also has a large water park and lots of public and private sport facilities for entertainment and recreation in all seasons. Shilla craftwork and a variety of traditional dishes add to the color of this well-visited spot.

Through out the entire voting, the lead changed regularly with 3 countries contending for victory in a very tight race. Pakistan lead in the early stages, but then it became a battle between Israel, United Kingdom and Sweden. Towards the end, it seemed that Sweden would claim their 12th victory, but the other two never gave up, and when all the votes had been cast, Israel was left on top for the third time. Sweden and United Kingdom settled for the silver and bronze respectively, with Canada and Pakistan rounding out the top 5.

Israel hadn't tasted gold since GM08, so their third trophy was way over due. Israel has been one of the most consistant participants in the contest, taking part since the very first edition. Having only missed a total of 10 editions since, Israel has competed 84 times, reaching the final on 71 occasions, finishing in top 10 a total of 29 times, winning 5 medals. Their first medal, one of silver, was won on only their second participations, and the very next edition - in GM03 - they took one step up the podium to claim their first gold medal, when Miri Mesika finished on top. Only 5 editions later, Israel scored the most points again and claimed their second trophy. Since then Israel has done pretty well, often finishing in the top 10, but until now they have only won one other medal, but who cares about that now. Rami, the curent HoD, is only the second HoD for Israel. He took over the Israeli delegation all the way back in GM20, and though he has since won a bronze medal, he had to wait 75 editions for his first victory! Very well done Chen Aharoni, Rami and Israel!
