Back to Danyang & Big News!

This past Saturday we took our 1st big bike ride; we went back to Danyang but this time we took the smaller highways. The weather was perfect for a ride, and we stopped a few times along the way to take in some scenery. We eventually got to Danyang (2 and a half hours later) and stopped by the #1 scenic treasure in the city: Do-dam-sam-bong. This is a unique rock formation in the middle of the lake. It was an impressive site, but that's not all that was there. We hiked uphill 300 meters and were able to see a gigantic stone arch overlooking the river.

Next we took the bike into town and found Go-su-dong-gul, one of the most famous caves in Korea. There was a bit of a line (that's how we confirmed that it was indeed 'famous') but it was worth the wait. It was very humid in the cave, and our camera batteries died right before we exited the cave, so we knew then it was time to head home. We got back on highway 5 and rode it all the way to Wonju (this time it only took 1.5 hours!)

Today we got some great news: we've both been accepted to Sejong University's MBA Graduate program. This course would allow us to get our Master's in Business Administration in two years by taking night and weekend classes. If all goes as planned, we'll stay in our current city for 2 more years while traveling to Seoul 3 times a week for class. We still need to discuss the details with our schools, but the main thing is that we got accepted!!

We had a break in high temps and humidity for about a week, but it has returned with a vengeance. It should be an interesting summer session as neither of our schools have AC!

On our way to Danyang we stopped in Jecheon and found this peaceful stream. From all the inner-tubes we saw, it must be a zoo in the summer.
