Jeju-do: Day 1

After 5 months of teaching, I finally got my summer vacation. I would actually call it a long weekend (we only got three days off of work), but we were all very grateful for the break. My coworker, Jaime, and I went to Jeju-do, the island off the southwest coast of Korea. It's a pretty small island, so we rented scooters once we got there and cruised around the whole time. Thursday evening we took a train from Daejeon to Mokpo, and then took a boat to Jeju the next morning.

Some very fancy street lights in Mokpo.

Mokpo city lights.

A bell at the top of a little "mountain" -- they call everything a mountain here, but seeing as how we reached the top in about 5 minutes, I'd say that's a pretty piddly mountain. The sky really was that red, though.

One very common sight in Korea (as you will see), is people sleeping on benches. Foreigners here stand out very well, so Jaime and I thought it best to try to blend in, which quickly became the theme for our trip. Jaime blending in with two men who came to hang out at the little park. They were pretty cool; the one dancing spoke English, but I liked that they weren't really phased by seeing us there and didn't try to talk to us the whole time.
