Change of Plans!

On Saturday, we visited Tongdosa, one of the three most important temples in Korea. It's said to hold important relics from Buddha. We took a bus from Tongyeong to Unyang, which was 2.5 hours long. Then we caught a city bus to the temple, which was about a 3o minute ride. The weather was brisk but we were dressed accordingly and had no problems. It even tried snowing once we got to the temple, but gave up quickly and the sun peaked out not long after that. We had a nice time and enjoyed the fresh air.
The ride home was less than desirable, as we ended up on a wrong bus and took an extra hour to get home. But, one bump in our transportation plan in 5 months isn't too bad, so no complaints here.
We're getting excited for our Thailand trip. We just learned today that we will be staying longer than originally planned! Instead of a rushed 3 days, we will have a solid 5 days in the Bangkok area. We now leave the morning of Dec. 28th, and get to Thailand at 12.20pm (no time change necessary). Our flight home doesn't leave until Jan. 2 at noon! We are so pumped, and are now researching more attractions to visit! B has found an ancient city that he's pumped about. I'm looking forward to seeing my friend the most! The warm weather won't be bad, either.
Both of our schools have Holiday programs on Saturday afternoon. We then have Sunday and Christmas Monday off; we may try to take in one more Korean temple in 2006! Hopefully everyone is doing well, we miss you.
