On Saturday, we took a class field trip with B's school; we went to an amusement park in Daegu. Daegu is the 3rd largest city in Korea with 2.5 million people. Our 2.5 hour ride on the school bus was a bit loud, and when we stepped off the bus we were greeted with cold air (it's north of Tongyeong). Once we got moving, though, we had a very nice day. There were 25 students with B's school, and about 40 from the TKD school (it was a mixed field trip). We started at the sledding hill, and went down the hill with no problems. I (H) did bump into a lady halfway down the hill, but she didn't yell at me too loudly!
Next we were surprised to learn that we were going to enjoy some of the big rides. We took the kids on 2 rollercoasters, the pirate ship (twice), and even the bumper cars. It was fun since we were able to have the track to ourselves for one ride, so many of the teachers and most of the students got to crash into each other. It was pretty fun. We were even surprised to see that they had the water flume ride operating. The line to go on that one was the longest: about 40 minutes to get wet...I don't understand it!
We got to Tongyeong at about 6.30 in the evening. It's been cold here lately, so we've been using the heat. This morning, however, we were sad to learn that the oil that heats our apartment AND our water was out. Luckily, $175 bux and a half hour later it was delivered by a friendly employee (we thought we would have to wait till at least Monday).
