On My Way To Korea

Run for the hills!

Or buy an umbrella, whatever works.

EDIT: Seems it was just a spurt. More to come soon probably …

Some of the most striking parts of the video?  He’s announced on DPRK TV to be a Christian preacher on visit to North Korea in favor of unification … oh yeah, plus he goes strait over the DML (Demarcation Line) in Panmunjeom.  You know, the line that no one crosses?  Here’s the video:

We ate at a little Kimbap place for breakfast before heading down to see Gyeongbok Palace where we got an English tour.  I never did the tour so I also learned some new things about the place.  Afterwards we went through the Korean Folk Museum which turned out to be one of my parents favorite destination.  Then we walked along Samcheong street, saw the Blue House and then ended the night over a bowl of Kalgooksu.  We made sure to make it an early night since we had to be at Camp Kim the next day by 7ish to spend the day around Panmunjeom in the DMZ.

I just got back from a fun trip with the SNU geography education club for three days and two nights down in Jeolla.  I never really traveled down there so it was a great opportunity to see a part of Korea I hadn’t seen yet.  We went to Jido and Jungdo islands, Mokpo, Yeongsan River (part of the Four Rivers Project), Boseong Green Tea Fields, Sooncheon (Nakaneupsung Folk Village), and various other little spots.  Out of all the destinations we went, I would recommend Nakaneupsung Folk Village the most.  We only stayed for like an hour but you could spend a much longer time walking around the village and meeting the various people living there (if you speak Korean).

Thus ends my epic end-of-summer traveling.  Enjoy the pics~

Packing in the travel before school starts, I went on a three day trip with the Yonsei unification club.  These ‘MT’s (Membership Training) let everyone have a lot of fun and get to know each other better.  I know I certainly had a great time and got to know a lot more people.  Our destination, Ulleungdo, was an absolutely beautiful island of the East coast of Korea.  We hiked and took a bus around the coast along with taking a ferry to the nearby island of Jukdo.  We did go to an observation where you can see Dokdo on a clear day, but it definitely wasn’t a clear day when we went up.  Anyways, here’s the pics from my trip:
