So the weather lately has been a little unpredictable here in Korea. I was told that spring here was beautiful, but lately there have been a few too many cool and wet days for my taste. And apparently rainy season isn't even here yet! Nevertheless, Alicia and I decided to deny the fickle weather and trek to the east coast to discover the Korean shoreline. I packed my bags ready for some hot beach weather, failing to check the weather report in hopes that my ignorance would leave me in bliss. Well, when we arrived, it definitely was NOT shorts and t-shirt weather, but pants and long-sleeve shirt weather. We were not prepared, but the beach was beautiful, and after I found a cheap fake Puma shirt in a nearby beach shop, I was set for a weekend in the sand and clouds. We played some frisbee, threw a football around, dipped our toes in the water, and set off some fireworks. About 8 of us got a large family sized room for the night. It all worked out quite nicely, although I really had hoped to get some color on my unseasonably white skin. (Someone the other day actually said, "I didn't think you were from California because you are so white.".....wellll....if I was IN California, I'm sure I wouldn't be white!). We hope to get out there in the weeks to come to track down the ever elusive Korean blue sky(I think it only comes out when we're working).
Here are some pictures from the weekend:

I got to try a silkworm! It wasn't that bad actually, although the smell is kind of gross:

The rest of the time was spent like this:

you look tan to me!!
i'm pretty sure i have that pink striped towel and i took pics with it yesterday.
miss you friend!
I love that first photo. It's pretty.
you don't need tan to look like a californian. the sunglasses and that thing on your head make you look californian already.
do you take a request? could you write about the diff. between taiwan and s. korea or any other countries you've taught in terms of culture, people, kids, food about anything and everything? (i think you used to teach in taiwan?) please be frank. it's ok to say korea sucks. :) most of us didn't really get to spend lenthy time in foreign countries like yourself. i'd love to hear your experience. thanks!
