After snorkeling, we went home to shower and then we were back on the road to Jeju-si in no time flat. I wasn't really sure what we were doing there but when I tried to ask, I got zilch. The trip turned out to be to a military festival? We followed that by a walk around Jeju-si and then a samgyupsal dinner. I thought it would end there, but after dinner we headed to someones house for fruit, octopus and wine. We finally got home around 12:30, and boy was the next morning struggle bus. This upcoming weekend/week is Chusok (korean thanksgiving) so I will be heading to Wimi to visit the host-family's family. Catch you on the flip side. Much love, Emsloth.
On Sunday I had one of the longest days of my life I swear, Actually it wasn't that bad but I have become a huge wuss about sleeping. I wake up for school everyday at 6:50 (can you believe it Big Cat???) which means that I almost always go to bed before midnight. I love going to be early. My bed is calling to me, even though I'm not incredibly tired. There just isn't a whole lot to do late at night on school nights besides hang out with my host siblings so I usually do that for a while before I decide that sleeping is better than watching a Korean drama that I can only understand 50% of. Sunday started with a trip to the ocean. I was pretty nervous going into this trip because when they described where they were going they described rocks and fish and fishing. Now I didn't grow up near the ocean, I grew up on a lake and so when someone says rocks and fish and fishing I get a little scared thinking about how non-conducive that sounds to swimming. However, when we got to the ocean, it quickly became apparent that this was a snorkeling expedition! They even brought equipment for me! It was so cute. My host mom isn't a great swimmer so she mostly stayed near the rocks collecting snails to eat. Host dad snorkeled with me for a while then moved on to fishing. My host siblings snorkeled for a while too, but complained that the water was "too cold" and moved on to catching snails/crabs. I had a wonderful time swimming to my hearts content and seeing some beautiful plant and fish life. It had nothing on the snorkeling I did in Hawaii, but it was pretty awesome.
