Anticipation

This weekend we visited Goeje, a popular tourist island about 30 minutes from Tongyeong. We went with Brandon's buddy from work. Our day started with us visiting the POW Camp from the Korean War. The site was set up quite well and we learned and saw many interesting things. Next, we took a crazy ride down a windy road, to find a beautiful pebble beach! The plan was to board a small tour boat and head to another island. The problem was that when we got there, the wind was too strong and the coast guard restricted tour boats. So, we shot some pics and headed back to Tongyeong. Arnie's father owns a raw fish restaurant, so we were treated to our first raw fish eating experience. Heather enjoyed it much more than B, who ate approximately one bite before throwing in the towel! At least he tried it!
Today we met our friends Anna and Alice downtown Tongyeong and had some lunch. Then they found a place for Heather to get a haircut, as she was getting quite shaggy. She got a haircut, wash, blowdry, and style for 10bucks (tip included). Later we were invited to her director's home for a nice dinner. One of the students' fathers gave the teachers fresh shellfish as a Thanksgiving gift, and we ate them in a tasty stew.
Monday is the only day we have class for our first week in October, and our plans include going to Jinju for a lantern festival on Tues., the Andong Mask Festival Wed and Thurs, and Seoul Fri-Sun. We will inveitably have some great stories and pictures to share soon!
PS- Our first TKD test was Friday, but the teacher only told us, "good." We will find out in class on Monday!
