재 부 도

One weekend per year, at a point on the southern tip of the South Korean peninsula, the sea parts in a certain area that allows visitors to walk on the sea-bed floor from the main land to an island nearby. Apparently this is quite a spectacle.
As residents of Suwon, we are quite a distance from this spectacle (6 hours).....so it was decided that we would visit a "similar sea-parting area" (as deemed by our Korean native friend Seung Ju). Turns out that our alternative was not so "similar" and definitely not so spectacular......But it was a destination that will never be forgotten mainly because of the great group of people that came along for the journey.






Here is our initial bus ride that kicked off the journey. We were getting crazy with the MakJu and the Gimbap. If you look closely to the back left of the bus, you will see a high school aged boy that is being made to feel very uncomfortable by our group's antics and Nick's wandering hands.

Korean's are known for their tough/gung-ho business mentality. I discovered this for myself after experiencing the tenacity of this restaurant-advertising zebra.

The zebra's tactics of waving his hands in the air while squatting up and down totally worked on us. We were in his restaurant in no time.
