This also means it's time to do my annual "Greatest Hits" or, my greatest 5 moments of the year. I explain this more in my post from last year, which you can check out <a href="http://methrowrock.blogspot.kr/2015/01/greatest-hits-2014.html" target="_blank">here</a>. It's just a way for me to reflect on the past year and remember the moments that helped me grow into the person I am today, here and now at the beginning of 2016. For my public blog, I don't go into detail about the significance of these moments but I do like to share my list.<br />

You know what's really great? Yes, Korea. But also Japan!<br />
<br />
This year I have more vacation, which means more time to travel. I am so pleased to say I have finally made it to Japan--a country I have been itching to visit for a very long time.<br />
<br />
It's pretty remarkable to live in a country where I can sit on a plane for a measly hour and 50 minutes and be in a whole different country. When it comes to using vacation time, foreign teachers are split. Some prefer to stay in the country and explore just Korea. Others prefer to use living in Korea as an opportunity to see other Asian countries. I like to think I have a good balance. But I figure, who knows if I'll be able to make the opportunity to come to Asia again? I might as well spend a little time in Thailand, Japan, and (hopefully) China, right? Of course right.<br />

And so I embarked on a trip to Osaka. If I make it back to Japan, I would love to see Tokyo. But I am very satisfied with my trip to Osaka. The food was delicious, my travel companions were good fun, and Universal Studios is a magic land of wonder.<br />
<br />
The first noteworthy difference between South Korea and Osaka, Japan: bikes, bikes everywhere! We were amazed to see so many people riding bicycles up and down the streets.<br />
<br />
Second: it's so clean! I love South Korea but man, the amount litter and filth on the streets of Seoul is appalling.<br />
<br />
Third: people are so nice! The workers at the train stations were always kind when we asked for help. And while we were looking for our Airbnb, one woman got off her bike to ask us if we needed help.<br />
<br />
Fourth: bright makeup! Korea is all about natural colors when it comes to makeup--the key is to look flawless. But in Japan, makeup was bright and more of a statement-maker.<br />

Fifth: school uniforms! I loved the old-fashioned school uniforms. In Korea, the school uniforms for middle and high school students have a lot less, errr, fabric. Japanese uniforms looked warmer and more comfortable. Complete with a plethora of pleats and cute hats! Korean elementary students don't wear uniforms unless they attend a private school. But from what we could tell, public Japanese elementary students do. And oh my goodness are they adorable. They got me wishing my students wore uniforms!<br />

I traveled with three friends of mine who were not yet acquainted with each other. Luckily, the four of us worked together well, navigating the unknown streets and railways of Japan.<br />

First thing we did after checking into our tiny Airbnb was, naturally, track down a place to eat. We were starving! So we just walked down the street and wandered into the first good curry place we saw. We were not disappointed. I'm not sure if it's because we were starving, but I still think it was the best meal we had over the course of the trip.<br />

With our bellies full of warm rice and curry, we braved the railways again and found our way to one of the top tourist landmarks in Osaka: the Floating Garden. It was a nice way to end our day of traveling. We watched the beautiful sunset over the river and clusters of buildings in the distance. Due to the cold and wind, we were unable to snap quality pictures...except that lovely one of me with my hair flying across my face.<br />

And with that, we called it a night, excitement for the next day brewing in our brains.<br />
Why the excitement? Because this was the day we were all waiting for--Universal Studios Japan!!<br />

For the longest time, the only thing we really had planned for the trip was to spend a day at Wizarding World of Harry Potter. It took us a while to plan the rest of our time in Osaka. WWoHP did not disappoint, folks. None of us had been to the one in Florida so I can't compare it. But I liked what I saw in Japan!<br />

There are two rides in WWoHP: Harry Potter 4K3D and Flight of the Hippogriff. We only did the 4K3D one, which was absolutely amazing. It's the best theme park ride I have ever been on.<br />

Of course we got ourselves mugs of hot butterbeer. To be honest though, it wasn't as delicious as I had anticipated. There was a fantastic butterscotch flavor foam on top but once that was gone...ehh.<br />

We spent the rest of the time wandering through the shops, looking at every single piece of merchandise, negotiating between our heartfelt desires and our wallets and reason. I walked into WWoHP with the intention to buy a wand and instead left with a more reasonable Hufflepuff sweater.<br />

We were sorry to leave WWoHP but alas, there was more to see. We half-halfheartedly walked through the rest of Universal Studios. We didn't want to wait in line for any other rides so we just wandered and looked at other fun merchandise.<br />

After a while, we decided to see something else in the area, as we had traveled a good distance from where we were actually staying. We chose to continue our adventure at Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan. This aquarium is phenomenal. It's home to one of the largest aquarium tanks in the world--4 stories, I believe. You start at the very top and work your way down. It's incredible. We spent several hours admiring the energetic otters, large rays, and massive whale sharks. If you find yourself in Osaka and you aren't afraid of sea critters, you should go. It's worth it.<br />

This day took a lot out of us. We were beat! So we decided the next day would be laid-back. We looked around the famous shopping area, Dotonbori. Here, we went to a ramen restaurant where we placed our order via vending machine! You pop in some money, make a selection, then the machine prints out a ticket. Go inside the restaurant and they'll have your food ready in no time. It's nice for foreigners because it cuts down on time spent awkwardly trying to communicate with the workers!<br />

After eating this amazing ramen, we tracked down a temple that is said to have a flea market and turtle sanctuary. It took us a while to find the turtle sanctuary because there weren't many turtles out. After staring for a while, eventually we found....one. Supposedly there are hundreds in the pond but I think it was too cold for them to come out of the water and play.<br />

Next day we took a day trip to Kyoto. I've heard Kyoto is absolutely beautiful in the fall. I believe it! Even in the dead of Winter it was lovely. I can only imagine what it would be like with autumn colors. When we got to Kyoto, we didn't know it, but we were sure in for a treat. All four of us absolutely loved this place we went to: Fushimi Inari-taishi Shrine. We spent a few good hours hiking through the hundreds of bright orange gateways up to the top of the mountain. This place is gorgeous.<br />

The hike up the mountain was long and tiring so we were ready to eat by the time we got back to the base. Lucky we had plenty of choices! There were many street food vendors.<br />

Once we had our fill of street food, we pressed forward towards Shitennoji Temple. It remarkable how different Japanese temples look compared to Korean temples. In Korea, they are bright and colorful. In Japan, they are simple and white.<br />

Before saying goodbye to Osaka, we took a trip to Osaka castle. I think it would have been more impressive during any other season of the year. But alas, the weather was gray and gloomy. Osaka castle is rich with history. History that I cannot repeat to you if I tried. So I won't. But it was an interesting landmark.<br />

And so, it was time for us to return to the other side of the sea. We hopped on a train to the airport and went on our merry way back to Korea.<br />
<br />
I'm grateful for the five days I got to spend in Japan. I think it was just enough time to see everything worth seeing in Osaka. Next time, Tokyo!<br />

Wah Christmas fun time!!<br />
<br />
This year, I spent Christmas in Pyeongtaek with a great group of people. We know a military family who let us borrow their house since they would be in the States for the holidays. It was the biggest house I've seen in Korea! The family was so very generous to let us spend Christmas in their lovely home.<br />

There is an American-style restaurant in Gunsan called N.Y. Byeok that hosted a Thanksgiving dinner complete with turkey and stuffing! I feel so blessed to have great friends to spend the holidays with away from home.<br />

Usually when I go to Seoul, I end up in the fun areas like Hongdae. This time, I ventured out of the big districts of Seoul to Namiseom (Nami Island). Before this weekend trip I didn't know anything about Nami Island.<br />
<br />
Here's some information about this little island:<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Geneva, Georgia, 'Malgun Gothic', Dotum; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Namiseom Island was formed as a result of the construction of the Cheongpyeong Dam. It is a half moon shaped (462,809㎡) isle, and on it is the grave of General Nami, who led a great victory against the rebels in the 13th year of the 7th king of the Joseon Dynasty, King Sejo (reign 1455 ~ 1468). </span><br />
<br style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Geneva, Georgia, 'Malgun Gothic', Dotum; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Geneva, Georgia, 'Malgun Gothic', Dotum; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Namiseom Island is 63 km away from Seoul in the direction of Chuncheon, and is famous for its beautiful tree lined roads. The island is 30 minutes away from Chuncheon and an hour away from suburbs of Seoul. Since it is not far from Seoul, many couples and families come to visit. </span><br />
<br style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Geneva, Georgia, 'Malgun Gothic', Dotum; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Geneva, Georgia, 'Malgun Gothic', Dotum; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">A special feature of Namiseom Island is that there are no telephone poles. This is because all electric wires were built underground to keep the natural feeling of the landscape. The complex is 553,560 square yards with chestnut trees and poplar trees around the isle. </span><br />
<br />
Walking around the island we saw snowmen eeeeverywhere. That's because the island's biggest claim to fame is being the filming location of an older but famous Korean drama called "Winter Sonata." In the drama the leads build little snowmen and have their first kiss. So pretty much it's supposed to be a romantic place for couples to go.<br />
<br />
The island is just a short ferry ride away from the shore. We had a blast exploring the little island but it also seemed random and gimmicky. You take the ferry from a terminal where you go through "immigration" to an island with it's own currency and flag and "native" hut houses, and oh, ostriches. Yes, ostriches. Why? Well, why not? Maybe there's something Koreans know that I don't (probably) but I guess I just didn't "get" Nami Island hahaha.<br />

Here in Gunsan (pronounced goon-sahn), the foreigner crowd has dubbed itself, the Gunsan Goonies. I proudly bear this moniker myself, as a guest in this great little city by the sea. <br />
<br />
I've been blessed to be sent to a city with a solid foreigner community. I've made some great friends here. Recently, I traveled to Seoul with three of my Goony friends who I first met at orientation. Really, the four of us see each other three to four times a week and more often than not, hang out on the weekends. So really it was a normal weekend but new location.<br />
<br />
Our three main goals this weekend:<br />
1. Shop<br />
2. Brunch<br />
3. Mexican food<br />

If the traffic gods are pleased, a bus ride from Gunsan to Seoul will take 2 hours and 20 minutes. Unfortunately for us, we left on a busy, drizzly Friday night so we were on the bus longer than that. </div>

Once we got to the Seoul bus terminal, we hopped on a subway and found our way to Dongdaemun district, where we had an Airbnb booked and waiting for us. The place was tiny but in a way that's cozy and just right for four people. It was fairly late by the time we checked in but, hey, we were in Seoul so we weren't ready to call it a night quite yet. We wandered around for a while looking for a cafe, realizing that we were in one of those rare pockets of Korea where there is no cafe in sight. Eventually we wandered our way to a Paris Baguette, where we could order warm tea. In a cute cup, of course.</div>

And that was enough fun for one night. We crawled into bed, with ideas and endless possibilities for the weekend ahead of us dancing through our heads.<br />
<br />
The next morning, we woke up with a unanimous craving for genuine breakfast food--a delicacy here in the land of kimchi and rice.<br />
<br />
In Seoul, finding a place to appease our Western appetite for eggs, bacon, and potatoes cooked in a breakfast manner was suspiciously easy.<br />

We found this restaurant called Factory M, advertising brunch. We ordered two of these platters and shared. We were pretty pleased with our meal at the time, not even realizing how much more amazing our brunch would be the next morning.</div>

For the next few hours, we explored Dongdaemun market. This is supposedly where the cool people go to shop for clothes. I only made one purchase. It's a purchase I will always be fond of:</div>

When we were finished in Dongdaemun, we hopped on a subway and headed toward Hongdae. Every time I go to Seoul, I end up spending a lot of time in Hongdae. It's a wonderful place!<br />

Of course we had to stop by the Hello Kitty Cafe:<br />

I ordered a shredded pork burrito and got it in the Vatos signature style which included kimchi. I know, I know--I go all the way to Seoul in search of authentic Mexican food and I dare to taint it with kimchi. Help, I'm becoming Korean! I also ordered a virgin orange frozen margarita, which was pretty tasty. Vatos was good but we had to wait for a long time--they were packed! I've since eaten at another Mexican place in Seoul that I like better.</div>
<br />
I've heard ex-pats say Itaewon district is great during the daytime, but scary at night. Boy were they right. I won't take too much time explaining why but just know we were ready to go back to Hongdae district after eating dinner and trying unsuccessfully to find a not-so-seedy norebang (karaoke room).<br />
<br />
I'm so happy we returned to Hongdae for norebang time! We went to a major one in Seoul. And painted on the wall next to our room is my favorite super hero:<br />

Also this time, there was no sharing. We each ordered our own monstrous plate of breakfast food and had no regrets.<br />

Look at that delicately powdered french toast. That slice of bacon. Those breakfast potatoes cooked to perfection. The monster omelette stuffed with fresh vegetables. The...green salad?

Next on our to-do list was to get a message. We were looking for a Japanese-style massage and cafe place one of us found on another blog but it appears that place had since had a change in management as we ended up getting Thai massages. A word of advice to those exploring Korea, blogs are a great way to find new places--just be aware that even if it's a fairly recent blogpost the place your reading about my be closed or in a new location. Another word of advice, wait at least half an hour before getting a massage if you ate a monstrous plate of breakfast.<br />
<br />
In addition to the Hello Kitty Cafe, we went to see real kitties at a cat cafe!<br />

What a great weekend! Our bags were stuffed with new purchases, our stomachs were stuffed with brunch and Mexican food, and our heart were stuffed with....love? Yes, love. Because of the cats. And our friendship. Yaaaay!<br />

Hey! Don't act so surprised.<br />
<br />
October 9th is a national holiday in Korea called Hangul day. Hangul is the Korean alphabet and Hangul day is a time to celebrate the creation of Hangul. While I enjoy Korean, I especially enjoy three day weekends, which is what I got thanks to Hangul day.<br />
<br />
It was a pretty eventful weekend with lots of travel time. I started by going north to Seoul for a Kpop concert, then back down close to my part of the country, then way down south to Jinju for a lantern festival, and finally back home to the middle area of Korea.<br />
<br />

The concert was so much fun. It was only 15,000 won per ticket and I got to see about 30 different Kpop groups perform at the world cup stadium. The audience was huge and loud! We were surrounded by screaming fangirls wearing light-up headbands that had the names of their favorite group and member. When the most popular male kpop group, EXO, came out on stage, the reaction was unreal. It was how I've imagined it must have been like when the Beatles came to America.</div>

My friend and I stayed at a jimjilbang (bath house) in Seoul that night. Unfortunately it was packed. I ended up sleeping in the locker room area because there was just no space left in any of the sleeping spaces. Regardless of the rough night's sleep we had, we knew the next day would be fantastic.</div>

In the morning we took a train from Seoul to Daejeon, where a friend of mine picked us up and drove us to a city called Nonsan. Nonsan is well known for Daedunsan mountain. What's so special about this mountain?</div>

This! I'm not sure how it looks to you, but since I've seen it in real life, it's pretty impressive. There are two suspension bridges you can cross on this hike but one of them is a fairly intimidating set of stairs. It was a great hike, even though we opted for taking the cable car half the distance!<br />

Right when we finished hiking, we hopped in the car and headed towards Jinju, traveling through a torrential downpour! Really, the rain was horrible and I was super stressed. But we made it to Jinju in one piece and enjoyed the lantern festival for a little while before the rain caught up to us again. I hear this is a very famous festival in Korea and I would like to have enjoyed it more but unfortunately the weather just want being very agreeable. I did get a few pictures in the short amount of time we were there.</div>

Even though I've lived in Korea for a year, Busan was a major place I never got around to traveling to. When we went for Chuseok at the end of September, the weather was perfect for playing on the beach, exploring the city, and playing with fireworks at night. I'm really happy about how this vacation panned out considering we planned it all a few days prior to leaving. We booked the hostel and bought bus tickets the day before our departure. If you've ever lived in Korea during a major holiday, you will understand how amazing that is--usually buses and accommodations are booked weeks in advance. Flights are book months in advance. Even though we procrastinated, the trip was so good, I wouldn't have changed a thing.<br />

After spending a fair amount of time staring at maps of the city and subway upon arriving at the bus terminal, we felt confident in our ability to find the famous Jagalchi fish market. This probably doesn't sound too exciting if you're not into fish. Of course we weren't planning on buying any fish but it was interesting to see such a variety of sea creatures for sale! </div>

In the spirit of being so close to the coast and being at a famous fish market, we decided to grab some dinner while we were there. It's not often that I go out for dinner in Korea and order this particular spread. Since we were on vacation and in a new city, we were feeling adventurous. </div>

We ordered some assortment of fish and sannakji. Sannakji is often mistakenly called "live octopus." Really though, it's raw and freshly cut octopus. The octopus isn't alive but the cut pieces are still pretty....active. Unfortunately I don't have the video of me eating it but I wish I did so you could see how wiggly the pieces are. It was definitely a strange experience. Some of us liked it and some didn't care for it.</div>

This was our last day in Busan. We decided to spend the day looking at the United Nations Korean War Memorial Park and Cemetery and a sculpture park nearby.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The memorial park was so beautiful and peaceful. It included graves of people around the world who died fighting for South Korea during the war.</div>

Most of my major trips in the past have been through big travel groups. It's convenient because then I don't have to worry about several logistics. However, I really enjoyed this trip. I feel more confident about planning future trips with small groups of friends now. Busan was a lot of fun. Playing on the beach and swimming in the ocean was a great way to say goodbye to Summer and welcome in Autumn.</div>

I didn't dress up or go to any parties. Instead I stayed in town with a few friends, went shopping, ate food, and watched a movie (a typical weekend for me, really). After sleeping in for a bit, my friends and I met at a cafe nearby for some tea. The cafe we went to was in the Halloween spirit--there was a cute trick or treat banner and other decorations.<br />

At the top of the mountain, there was a tower we could climb to get what would've been an amazing panoramic view of the city had it not been so hazy that day. Regardless, we were super excited that we could see the sea from the tower. It's still difficult for me to process how close I live to the ocean now!<br />

We continued to hike around for a while until we discovered a park area with outdoor exercise equipment where many older people were getting some exercise. These exercise parks are very common in Korea but usually I don't see ones this big. My friends and I decided to play around on the equipment for a while because hey, why not?<br />

School lunches here in Korea are very different from any school lunch I had growing up in the U.S. Last week, I took my phone with me to lunch so I could share with you all what I typically eat for lunch, with the exception of Wednesday because I forgot my phone that day...</div>

You can always count on a Korean school lunch (or any meal, really) to have kimchi and rice. 98% of the time there is soup as well. I don't know what to call everything but I'll try my best to describe it.</div>

Steamed sweet potato, kimchi, braised soybeans, udon noodles with veggies and squid, soup. The soup had a great flavor but surprised me with a chunk of fish--bones and skin and all. Usually the fish is smaller and has been cooked to the point where bones are soft enough to eat but I can't do it...I still try to pick them out. <br />

Acorn jelly, kimchi, asian pear (apple pear), lettuce (clearly haha), dumpling soup, pork. The red paste is bean paste--it's not as spicy as it looks! Next to my kimchi is also tiny salted shrimp. The shrimp and bean paste are for the pork. You wrap the pork in a lettuce leaf.</div>

It's already been a little over a month since I returned to Korea. Time is going by ridiculously fast. I predict, however, things will really slow down in the winter. I teach at three elementary schools and so far so good. I enjoy working with my students and coteachers.<br />
<br />
I've also finally edited and uploaded my apartment tour! I filmed it a couple days after moving in but had technical difficulties.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

In Korea we wear "slippers" inside the school. We call them slippers but they probably aren't what you'd expect when someone says "slippers."<br />

I really need to buy my own...I've been using the guest slippers at my three schools for the past few weeks. At two schools, it's no problem at all. But at my third school I am reminded how large my feet are every time I take a step, my heels trying their very best not to hang out the back of the slipper.</div>

After an incredible 7 week vacation in the U.S., I am finally back in Korea! I have a new job, new city explore, new people to meet, and more fun to be had in this great country. I arrived a few days early, which gave me some time to explore Seoul by myself before heading south to Daejeon for my EPIK (English Program in Korea) orientation.<br />

My first full day in Korea was pretty cool. It happened to be Korea's 70th anniversary of independence from Japan so I wandered my way into some of the festivities.<br />
<br />
Waking up that first morning was exciting--especially since I didn't have any responsibilities! I had my map of Seoul and I was ready to explore. Just around the corner from my hotel was Namsangol Hanok Village. This is a tourist spot where you can see traditional houses. I do have pictures of said houses but those are on my camera...and the majority of my cell phones pictures are selfies...sorry haha.<br />

One of the hanok houses was set up as a free traditional medicine service site. Apparently Traditional Medical Tourism is a real thing in Korea and this place is part of it. It was definitely interesting--the doctors and nurses were wearing traditional Korean clothing (hanbok). A nurse gave me tea specific to how I was feeling at the time. Then she took my pulse and blood pressure. I waited for a little bit and then went in to see the doctor. She told me what foods and herbs I need to incorporate in my diet more and also to exercise more haha. The last thing she did was put these little acupuncture stickers in my ear.</div>

After my adventure with the traditional doctors, I left the hanok village and wandered towards Seoul's famous tower, Namsan. Before I got there, I saw something that caught my attention:</div>

I decided to check it out because, hey, who doesn't like Elvis Presley? I was looking forward to a little collection of bizarre Korean memorabilia. I walk down the steps and opened the door. Darkness? I didn't know what was going on but the room was dark. Part of my brain was saying "Abort! Abort!" and another part of my mind was saying "This is weird...I should stay!" Then Korean man walked up to me and led me to a chair. As my eyes adjusted, I looked around me and saw about a dozen other Koreans (mostly older), sitting in front of a projection screen. Seconds later, Elvis Presley was on the screen singing "Love Me Tender" in concert. Throughout the whole thing all I could think was, "Whaaaat. What is happening. This is awesome." After the little screening party, the lights came on and I was invited to sit at a table by a man wearing a shirt with a huge picture of Elvis on it. Next thing I know, I'm being offered peanut butter and banana sandwiches. I had just eaten lunch so I was only kind of picking at it and so were most people. Elvis-shirt man kept saying (in Korean), "Eat like Elvis!" This guy's love for Elvis is REAL. He didn't speak English but I could tell. All he could say to me in English besides "Hello," and "Nice to meet you," was "I am Elvis." There was one guy there with his wife and toddler who spoke English enough to let me know they were celebrating Elvis because it was the anniversary of his death. I just want to point out that this was the same day the rest of Korea was celebrating 70 years of freedom from Japan but hey, I guess some people have different passions, right? I stuck around for a couple hours, looking at the Elvis memorabilia and struggling to communicate with the members of Korea's official Elvis fan club. The owner ("I am Elvis") gave me a stack of Elvis postcards and posters before I left. This is quite possibly the strangest and most wonderful thing I have ever accidentally done in my life.</div>

To be honest, I was not all that impressed with the palace once I made it there. I mean, it was just a bunch of buildings...then again I don't think it was the big popular one everyone goes to. </div>

Apparently this day was my day of perfect timing because as I walked out of the palace, a parade was just starting in the street for Independence Day! It was so much fun to see the floats and performers. I followed the parade down to a stage area where later on there would be musical performances. At one point confetti just fell out of the sky--it was crazy! So many people! I stayed to watch some performances but around 9pm I was feeling pretty exhausted and headed back to my hotel. I had quite a full day! </div>

The next morning I woke up refreshed and ready for more! It was Sunday so I made my way to church and had a good time bumping into some people I'd met during previous visits to Seoul. After church, I stopped by the National Museum of Korea to expand my limited knowledge on Korean history. It is a beautiful (and free) museum. </div>

To get to Jeju from Gwangju, we took bus at 3:00am (ugh so early) and rode a couple hours to the ferry terminal. From there, we took the fast ferry to the island. The slow boat is about four hours--too long for such a short time to take a trip to Jeju! The fast ferry was, luckily, only a little over two hours.</div>

I was pretty excited to be on a ferry for the first time. Even though I slept most of the time. And I lost one of my contacts while on the ferry so I had to wear my glasses for the rest of the trip :(. This was tragic. Really, I complained about it the whole trip.</div>

Once we got to Jeju we hopped on another ferry to a small island off the coast of Jeju--Udo. Udo means "cow" in Korean because the bird's-eye-view of the island looks like a cow.</div>

After we made the steep downward journey back to the tour bus, we headed to our beachside motel, checked in, and walked to the beach for dinner. A famous dish in Jeju is black pig pork BBQ. Spoiler alert: the meat isn't black at all and really just looks and tastes exactly like any other pork. The only difference: the price...</div>

A lot of the restless Canadians on our trip continued to play until the wee hours of the morning but Molly, Perry, and I were ready to call it a night. They had their couples room and I stayed in a hondol-style four-person room (meaning I slept on a blanket...on the hardwood floor...not so bad once you get used to it).<br />
<br />
Kitty corner from our motel was a lovely beach which, unfortunately, I didn't have much time to enjoy. But I did take the time to snap a few pictures in the morning before the tour bus left.<br />

The trail led to Oedolgae (Lonely) Rock. You know that legend that every coastal culture seems to tell of a maiden who waited for her sailor man to return to her but turned into stone because he never showed up? Well, this is Jeju's maiden rock thing. But really, the rock has another name based on something else many people think it looks like...<br />

Next stop, Jusangjeolli (주상절리) Lava Rock Column Formations. In case you couldn't tell yet, Jeju island is made up of lots of volcanic rocks. The lava rock column formations are famous because they look as if someone carved them--the cuts are so straight and geometric. But it's all natural!<br />

Next up on the Southwest tour of Jeju island: Cheonjeyon (천제연) Water Falls. This was a subtropical forest area that was absolutely gorgeous.<br />

The waterfall and forest area was probably the best part of this day. But the beach we went to next was nice too. Jungmun (중문) Beach is supposedly one of the best beaches on the island. It was definitely beautiful but I'm not really the right person to talk to about "best beaches." There were a lot of people on the beach but the only ones who braved the cold water were the surfers.<br />

Alas, we could not play in the water too long so next we went to San Bang San (산방산) Temple. I enjoyed going to a Buddhist temple this day because it was, appropriately, Buddha's birthday.<br />
This temple had a steep walking path up to a cave grotto where we could go drink from a small pool for good luck.<br />

There was another walking trail around this area and a little carnival. I got to ride on one of those swinging viking boat rides, which was a blast. Foreigners on one side, Korean strangers on the other. We were facing each other so every time one side flew up into the air, we would scream to the other side as loud and as goofy as possible. It was fun connecting with these people none of us knew or could really speak to because of the language barrier. But for a good 15 minutes we made each other laugh and smile.<br />

Last destination on the Southwest Tour: Loveland. Don't Google search it! I sat out because it's a park where you walk around and look at sexually explicit sculptures and that's not my thing. So instead I got a frozen treat from the convenience store next door!<br />

We ended up in downtown Jeju city for dinner, where we went to a highly recommended Indian restaurant. The food was really good--we filled up on delicious curry and naan.<br />
<br />
When we got back to the motel area, Molly, Perry, and I once again stopped at Caffe Bene for dessert. This time we got a different shaved ice treat that looked like it was put together by a five year old: cotton candy and coated pop rocks galore.<br />

At the end of the lava tube was something else special: the world's largest lava column. It was formed by lava spewing from the top the the cave and building up from the bottom.<br />

Jeju is a gorgeous place to visit. As someone who hasn't spent much of her life around the ocean, I was stunned by some of the views I saw. My only regret is not going to Jeju during a longer vacation! Next time, I will hike Hallasan--Korea's tallest mountain!<br />

It's been three weeks since I said goodbye to Raffles English Academy and flew back to the States to be with my family. Finally I have gotten around to making a post about my last days teaching and my long journey home. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am pleased to report that I did not cry when I said goodbye to my students but mostly because it was such a busy day that there was no time for tears. I was so touched by my students. They were very thoughtful. My boss told me she didn't prompt them to do anything for me--all the gifts and parties were their idea. </div>

After the movie, I scurried home and finished packing my room, cleaning all through the night until 4:30 am. That moment when you walk out your front door for the last time, leaving behind an empty room you called home for so long, is always somber. As I lugged all my luggage out to the main street to catch a taxi to the bus station, the neighborhood was quite and the morning air was fresh and invigorating. I looked around Hakdong one last time and reflected on how foreign everything felt exactly 365 days ago when I first arrived. </div>

You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.”<br /><br />365 days ago, I stepped out my door and was swept off to South Korea. It has certainly been one grand adventure.<br />

The morning of May 3rd was rainy, rainy, rainy. As I made my way towards the meeting point for my tour group in Gwangju, I was so worried about the rain interrupting the festival events. But even though the sky remained overcast the whole day, the rain went away to let us play! Yay!</div>

I'll say right upfront that I did not see many butterflies. But there was so much to see and do at the festival that I didn't mind. Not to mention, the area was absolutely gorgeous. It was nice to spend a day surrounded by colorful flowers and greenery for a day.</div>

The first thing my group did was go to the ecology hall, which reminded me a lot of the Butterfly Pavilion in Colorado. Here, we got to release new butterflies into the room. It was exciting. One of my butterflies elegantly burst forth out the container and the other one just dropped straight to the ground...</div>

And that was about it for actual butterfly-related events at this butterfly festival, as we moved onto piglet wrangling. I did not actually participate. I was looking forward to it but when we got there and I saw that they were lil' guys and heard that dreadful piglet squeal I lost interest. Here are some pictures of my friends having a good time, though:</div>

With our faces freshly painted, we were ready for some quality Korean festival street food. Street food is the best. At this festival, there was a row of food booths set up representing food from different countries. Some it was silly, like the German tent had these sausages that I see around Korea everywhere (meaning, I'm pretty positive they aren't from Germany). There was a Turkey stand selling shawarma but we actually have a place like that in downtown Gwangju. The Japanese stand had takoyaki, battered and fried wheat balls filled with diced octopus.

Molly and I did the "train" ride. It was advertised as a train but really it was a train of trolleys. This is where we struck up a conversation with one of the festival workers, who spoke English very well. His mother was working the bike rental area so after the train ride, he arranged a free bike ride for us! It was super sweet. Molly and I thought we were each getting our own bike but, let's just say, I rode a tandem bike for the first time in my life! Unfortunately, I don't have any evidence of this!</div>

We continued to wonder the beautiful festival area. As we were looking at a hand-made soap booth, we got tracked down by our tour group's photographers. They had us do several silly poses with these fake butterflies. </div>

We hopped on a bus and traveled South to Jindo island from Gwangju.<br />
<br />
The Southwestern region of the country doesn't seem to have as many popular festivals as cities like Seoul or Busan. But this sea parting festival attracts people from all around.<br />
<br />
This festival celebrates the time each year when the sea opens enough to reveal a 2.8km-long, 40m-wide pathway for approximately one hour to Modo Island. This extraordinary event is the result of extreme tidal differences. In 1975, the French Ambassador to Korea at the time drew attention to the phenomenon, calling it the Korean version of Moses' parting of the Red Sea.<br />

Next we wandered towards the actual festival area to purchase our awesome orange waders for the sea parting! We arrived around 1:00pm and had until 5:00pm to prepare ourselves for the parting. So we had plenty of time but Christy and I were eager to rock the waders. If my memory serves me correctly, they cost 8,000 won ($7.50). Then entrance fee for the festival was 5,000 won ($4.50), which was a food voucher. So yes, we had to pay to enter but we used our ticket to get 5,000 won worth of food--pretty sweet deal, if you ask me!<br />

I was impressed by how large and well-organised this festival was. It drew quite a crowd. There were a few tour companies that formed trips for it. There were many fun free activities to participate in while all the guests were waiting for the parting. Before the day of the festival, I was worried we would get bored early on so my friends and I deliberately arrived later in the day. But if I had known about all the extra stuff there was to do, I would have made an effort to come earlier! </div>

Eventually we found the Grandma Ppong statue. It was difficult to get a great picture because that's precisely what every one else there was trying to do! You can't see it, but there was quite a crowd around this area--this statue marks the location of the sea parting. If you are curious about the story of the woman and the tiger (hey remember the grandma and tiger mascots we got a picture with earlier?), have no fear! This is the legend, according to my festival program pamphlet:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Long time ago, there were tigers around the Hodong village (today's Hoedong) on Jindo Island. Since they frequently invaded the village, people fled to Modo Island. Unfortunately, an old lady called Grandma Ppong was inadvertently left behind.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Missing her family so much, she prayed to the god of the ocean, Yongwang, every day. One night the god appeared in a dream and told her that the next day a rainbow would appear in the ocean connecting Hodong and Modo. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When she prayed once more at the shore, the waters miraculously parted and a rainbow road appeared. Grandma Ppong's family crossed the sea to meet her playing music. However she was so exhausted and died soon after saying 'Because my wish came true, I can rest in peace.'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After then, locals renamed the village to Hoedong (Reunion at the Village) and staged shamanic rituals every year when the sea parted. After praying for a good catch of fish and their wishes to come true, they walked across the sea and enjoyed digging for clams and other assorted ocean delicacies. This is the origin of today's miracle sea road festival."</div>

I've noticed that Korean festivals often have these wish bands in some form or another. At the Boseong Light festival, you could write a wish on a paper star and hang it in a tunnel made of Christmas lights. At the sea parting festival, they were ribbons. We attached them to a rope with zip ties in front of another Grandma Ppong statue. I love writing wishes and reading those left by strangers.

After making our wishes, we were curiously handed a cup of small fishes (bustin' out some rhymes). Really though, there were men in a truck handing out hundreds of cups of fish left and right. It was called "Dream of Nemo" and we were supposed to free the fish into the ocean. So we did!<br />

Once we freed our little Nemos, we continued to wander. Christy walked up to a booth where a drum was sitting unattended and began banging on it. Next thing we know, Christy and I both had drums strapped to us and we were playing a newly learned beat while an adorable older lady danced. It was amusing and so fun.</div>

Jindo Island is famous for other things aside from the sea parting: the Jindo dog breed. We missed the actual Jindo dog show but who cares! We got to cuddle with the smelly puppies!<br />

5:00pm finally rolled around and we were more than ready to get in the mud! Most of the activities we participated in involved people shoving items into our hands (ribbons, cups of fish, puppies, etc). And this next part is no exception. There was a pile of these super tall flag posts made out of bamboo and some man was telling us, in English, to grab one and take it along the trail. I don't know if we were exactly authorized to do so. But we did.<br />

Here we go! Once the sea parts, there is a great parade down the path to Modo Island. Ready for the tragic part of this trip? We didn't make it to Modo! Before we left the Jindo bus terminal for the festival area, we were inspired to buy return tickets to Gwangju just in case and it is a good thing we did--the latest time was already sold out! We settled for the next latest bus, which was scheduled to leave during the parting. Sigh. We were pretty torn up about it...but what can you do? At least we had the peace of mind that we could get home that night!<br />

We barely had enough time to grab some food with our vouchers before getting on the shuttle to the bus station. Classic street food!<br />

The Jindo Miracle Sea Road festival was very enjoyable. I was surprised by how well-organized and well-attended it was, especially by foreigners. All the activities I mentioned throughout this post were free. Really, all those things were literally handed to us. The only money we had to spend was 5,000 won for the entrance and 8,000 won for the waders (I could have brought by own rain boots but I was excited for the special orange ones). This is a great festival to go to. I highly recommend making your way to the south west coast for it. </div>

Pretty wild, right? It's hard to wrap my head around the fact that I've been in Korea for almost a year. In just a couple short months, I'll be flying home to visit my lovely family and I am so psyched!<br />
<br />
Before this happens, have many activities lined up here in Korea (spoiler alert: May is going to be incredible). But let me back up a little bit and fill you in on yet another great week in Gwangju.<br />
<br />
1. Spring is in full swing here. The greatest evidence: cherry blossoms (벚꽃)! Last Saturday I went to a Cherry Blossom festival which was conveniently located directly across the street from my church building. The downside? The weather! Right as the blossoms were blooming, we got some heavy rainstorms. Everyone was so concerned about the poor blossoms. They took a beating but they were still pretty.<br />

2. Yesterday, I had an adventure that was, uh, interesting. Very new and different haha. I went to a jimjilbang (Korean spa). If you don't know anything about what goes on in a jimjilbang, I'll fill you in with this Conan O'Brien clip:</div>

<div>
Yes, I even did the full body scrub...yes, it was painful. But I felt so smooth and reborn afterwards! It was definitely an eye-opening experience. Jimjilbangs are nice because it's a cheap place to get cleaned up and sleep for a night when travelling. </div>

4. In the States, taking selfies is shameful! But in Korea, it's very normal and very much embraced. I can take vanity selfies with pride and confidence! A new friend from Australia introduced me to a Korean picture app: Candy Camera. This app is popular because it pretty much makes you look perfect.

I'm kind of failing at the blog thing. It's finally time for me to make another post about my Thailand adventure!<br />
<br />
The first actual day in Thailand was spent in Bangkok. It was fun exploring the city and seeing a few Buddhist temples (Wats). It was HOT and humid in the city--a huge change from the Winter weather in Korea! It was a very nice break from the cold.<br />
<br />
Something I really enjoyed about this day was noting the differences between a Thai Wat and a Korean Sa. <br />

We were pretty drained after so much wandering in the heat so next we did one of our favorite in-door activities: exploring a museum! We went to Museum Siam, where we got some much needed background information about the history and culture of Thailand. To be honest, I really didn't know anything about Thailand. But thank goodness for museums (p.s. support your local museums, folks).<br />
We got to the museum via motorized tuk tuk. It was <i>frightening</i>. Thrilling, but not exactly fun.<br />

After a long, full day in Bangkok, we decided to eat at the hotel restaurant. The food was yummy but little did we know, the very best food was yet to come!</div>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small; text-align: start;">I wish I could remember exactly what we ordered...prawns? Something with chicken? A delicious mystery. </span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br /><div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;">Once we finished eating, we relaxed in the hotel and planned out our next day. We really wanted to go to Chiang Mai. So we made reservations for a flight from Bangkok to Chiang Mai and for a cool bamboo bungalow place for lodging. Tired, but excited for a new day, we headed off to bed for a well-deserved sleep. </span></div>

Well, well, well. I have once again been slacking a little with blog updates. I know I need to post more about Thailand but I have so many other things to talk about too! So here are some various updates on teaching in Korea!</div>

<li>In Korea, Valentine's day is when girls give boys chocolates and such. Then on March 14th, boys return the favor. But last month for Valentine's day, my lovely mother sent conversation hearts for me to give my students. Since I left for Thailand the day after I handed them out, I didn't get around to posting the pictures on my blog. My students had no idea what these candies were but they really like them!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Part 1A couple weeks ago, I had the opportunity to travel to the warm, beautiful country of Thailand! I bought my airplane tickets back in December, even though I didn't know if I would have a travel buddy. I know there are many women who travel around the world by themselves and I even read a number of empowering blog posts by such women to comfort me as I prepared for a solo trip to Thailand. However. I was never truly comforted. Travelling alone in Korea is no issue anymore. But being a tourist in such an unfamiliar country as Thailand sounds intimidating. And something I've discovered about myself lately is that I really like sharing experiences--to the point where I don't feel like something is worth doing unless I can share it with someone. Going to Thailand alone as a young, single, female, travel-noob, wasn't only scary. It seemed pointless! Regardless, that's exactly what I was planning on doing.<br />
<br />
But then, about a week and a half before my vacation, a great and wonderful miracle happened: I found a travel buddy. And that travel buddy was my dad!<br />
<br />
I can't even fully express how much of a blessing it was to spend a week exploring Thailand with my dad. Although my family and I Skype plenty, I hadn't seen my dad since I moved to Korea last June. I missed going on adventures with my dad. My Thailand trip would have been extremely different without my dad. I am forever grateful for our adventure.<br />
<br />
I'll do a blog post for each day's adventure. Let's start off with our Bangkok arrival!<br />

My flight arrived in Bangkok a few hours before dad's flight but I didn't mind waiting. It was very, very late by the time he arrived. Of course the first thing we did when we saw each other was hug and cry!<br />

I really should post more right now, but I will save it for the next post. Hopefully this little bit I have written will appease my mom who I know I anxious to see some blog posts about the trip! Sorry it's taken so long. The sad part about going on a vacation is coming straight home to work and getting caught up in life again so quickly!</div>
