I like to try and start looking for buses around 4pm because it gets dark around 5:30 and sometimes buses only come every once in a while. While trying to get back home I ended up running a solid mile to catch a bus but I made it back home so it's all cool. I think if you add it up I walked/ran 12 miles that day. Hope you enjoy the pictures. I even captioned some of them.
A few weeks ago on a random day off I went to try and hike olle 12....and failed to find it. So, when in doubt, hike the Olle you can find. Which is how I ended up hiking number 11. Claire and I had done ten previously so I knew where to find it, and it was getting late. Anyways, I would not recommend doing this alone because a good deal of it goes into the forest. I had loaded some podcasts onto my phone before leaving the house though and listening to that while walking made it a really enjoyable hike.

If you live on Jeju, you either own a gamgyul farm or your friend does. There are so many gamgyul farms that are locally owned that I feel very confident in this assessment. Anyways, it is currently gamgyul season (gamgyul is a orange tangerine hybrid thing) which means the farms need help picking them fast enough. So my whole family (minus lazybones so-min) headed out to a family friends farm to help pick. The trees were so full it was hard to decide where exactly to cut but with the help of my family and some ajumma's we were flying through the orchard. It was a pretty chilly day with intermittent flurries but we were kept warm with the work. The farm also had a really pretty view of the ocean so whenever I would get sick of looking at trees I would look up and stare at the ocean. My favorite part was this miniature roller coaster we went on to get around at the farm. It was basically just a rail and a cart with an engine (and no rails) but it was so much fun! And the farthest you could have fallen was like two feet- it just made it easier to get around the trees and up the stepped incline that the trees were planted on. Oh and did I mention it turned out to be one of my student's parents farm? She and her sister (they're twins) were so cute and shy bc I am their teacher but its to be expected. It was a really fun day full of good food and family bonding. I don't know how i'm going to leave this family in July. It's gonna be terrible I can already tell. |
