The Adventure Begins...

How time flies... Amazingly, our year of teaching in Korea has come to an end. Over the past week we have been joined by Jono's sister (Aimee). Together, the three of us have been from one end of Korea to the other, and back again. We went to a friend & co-worker's wedding in the southernmost city of Busan. While in Busan we checked out the world famous "Jagalchi Fish Market" and made our way through other parts of the city. From there it was back to Chuncheon for the last day at school. A day later, the three of us travelled to Korea's "Honeymoon Island" called "Jeju-do". There we spent three and a half days exploring the island being sure to take in all the sights and sounds from "Jeju deer" to the countless Grandfather statues scattered throughout the island. We marveled at the island's natural wonders (strange rock formations, volcano craters, etc.) and we were also lucky enough to sample some of the island's famous "eats" such as "MAR-GOGI" (Aka - Horse Meat) as well as "HEUK-DEDJIE" (Black Pig Pork) wash it all down with some cactus juice... mmm... Tomorrow will be our last full day in Korea and we will be sharing in the wedding celebration of our good friends "Oobie & Soon-Young". Thus ends our Korean Adventure... Let the next chapter begin...
