Sun Beach Hotel Seogwipo

... agree, why did I come to a country that lives off of seafood again? Anyway, we had a nice night and hit the hay early because we had a big day ahead of us. <br>In the morning we headed to Halla-san, a volcanic peak at the center of the island. Its a beast, about 6 miles up and then you have to climb the same 6<br>back down. The weather was ok at the bottom, but it was horrible at<br>the top. After we passed the Unesco station which is about 2.3 miles from ...

... bed early. In the morning Kate and I hiked Halla-san, a volcanic crater in the center of the island. Its 9.6 km to the top. Wow, what a hike, but it was worth it when we saw the beautiful view from the top! Mom and Connie went to a traditional folk village while we were hiking. That night called for some pizza as a reward for a 12 mile round trip hike! <br>We saw the famous waterfalls the next day and then flew back to Seoul after a great vacation in Jeju!<br>

... roof where the bbq was to happen. I meet her brother, sister in law, and her nephew. I soon met her mom and again her father. We had some beers and ate some tomatoes that her mom and dad grow on the roof of their building. Her brother speaks pretty good English so we talked for a bit. Her dad and I sat on a mat and ate tomatoes and communicated with hand gestures and common Korean words that I know. Sally then showed me the meat as it was prepared. Her aunt was cutting away what ...

... we drove to the east coast to have a look at Ilchulbong, although it was slightly obscured by mist. I overcame my seafood phobia to eat some really nice fish in a local restaurant, as I didn't want to deprive Lee who really enjoys it.<br><br>The weather was a lot better the next day, so we decided to focus our attention on the south-western corner of the island as it's packed with things to see and do. We found a beautiful, secluded waterfall that had a heavenly pool adjacent to ...

... fall, and a small cave, and a hidden cove. After that I headed back to a corner store on the beach to get some fluids as I was severly dehyrdrated. I made my way back to the original corner store to have some rice, drink some beers, and as I put the period at the end of this sentence the moon has magically replaced the sun. <br><br>July 5th 3:00pm <br>I now sit in a pc cafe at the airport. Last night after the beers I decided to sleep on the beach. I went back to find a ...

... with his Dunken Donunts, and then watch Super Chicks on the ipod. Then we're going to meet up with Daniel Kim at the airport when we land. I haven't planned that part yet but i have time so its ok.<br><br> We're sorry we haven't posted in a couple days, it has been a little exhausting and the hotel we were staying at didn't have a computer like the last one. But this one is really long so that should make up for it. Until the next time, JP OUT.

... who don't know her, she's my friend from Finland. We met at Chico State, and I went to visit her when I went to Europe. Anyway, she's been here to visit since the end of July, and leaves this Thursday. <br><br>Pauliina and I decided to do a trip to Jeju Island. It's supposedly Korea's Waikiki. Yeah....no. We were definitely mislead, but you get used to that here. It WAS beautiful though. We didn't experience any of the beaches that were boasted--either they ...

Morgen geht es zurueck nach Busan, 11 Stunden auf ne Faehre und 10 Stunden spaeter wird ich mich auf ne andere Faehre befinden die mich nach Japan bringen werde. Ich war jetzt ueber 2 Monate in Korea, und es war ueberhaupt nicht wie erwartet - ich bin nicht verrueckt geworden, keine Identitaetskrise - nix wie erwartet( ich will ja nicht enttauscht klingen aber dass waren irgendwie meine erwartungen ) Ich kann ...

... and the Palgyong or "the eight wondrous sites of Danyang." One notices right away after descending off the bus in Danyang that you are not off the beaten track, but rather on a track beaten to a pulp by bus after bus jammed full of families and old people. Before you can get to the entrance of the caves, you must pass through a parking lot/ tourist trap. You could stop for an ice cream, play a shooting game, buy a large rock from a nearby mountain, a wooden sculpture of a bear ...

... who spend their lives diving Cheju-do's cold waters in search of abalone, conch, fish and what ever else they can catch to make a living. Whilst they dive their husbands stay home and take care of the family side of things. How sweet! After breakfast we headed to the foreshore and spent an hour or so walking and taking pictures of us in front of Dragon Rock. We then began another ...
