8月29日 Paradise Lost! Paraiso perdido!Fui a conocer una isla
 este fin de semana con unos amigos (una pareja francesa y mi amigo gringo, Bryan). Dijieron que iba llover  pero tuvimos temperaturas excelentes!  Desde Seul, nos fuimos en bus hasta la costa en la provincia sur de Jeollabuk-do. Llegamos mas o menos tarde  y entonces nos fuimos sentar fuera de un negocia tomar jugo con soju (소주) y comer porquerias! Me comieron entera los sancudos pero lo pasamos super bien. Al dia siguiente nos fuimos en bote hasta la isla Seonyudo. Son 24 islas chicas en esta zona y las mas grandes estan unidas por puentes. Queda 43km oeste de la peninsula, y nos tomo una hora y media en llegar. Cuando llegamos, no ubicamos con el mapa y nos dimos cuenta que la playa estaba menos de 1km de donde estabamos. Encontramos un hotel y nos fuimos a la playa. No habia casi nadie en la playa, que es muy raro en un pais tan chico con 22 milliones de personas. Habian menos de 30 personas en la playa y lo pasamos super bien con el agua bien calmada y tivia. Estaba realmente lindo - como islas del pacifico sur. Luego, nos fuimos de vuelta al hotel a banarnos y ir a comer.
 Comimos samgyeupsal (삼겹살), carne de cerdo de BBQ, y nos tomamos un poco de soju (para variar!). Cuando se encuresio, nos fuimos a playa a mirar la tormenta de relampagos que llegaba a la isla. Nos tomamos otros tragitos y nos fuimos a cantar noraebang (노래방) con los que viven en la isla. Lo pasamos super bien. Bryan y yo terminamos la tarde bailando en la lluvia solitos cerca del mar en la tormenta de relámpagos y truenos. Creo que es el ultimo fin de semana en la playa - el otoño luego va empezar.  I went this past weekend to discover a new part of the country I had never been to with some friends of mine (a French couple, Enora & Thierry, and my american friend, Bryan). It was to the south-western province of Jeollabuk-do, and its port city, Gunsan. We left Seoul Friday evening and arrived in Gunsan three hours later. When we got there, there wasn't a whole lot to do so we sat in front of a convenience store and ate junk food with some soju (소주).
 My ankles and feet were eaten up by mosquitoes and I have more than 30 bites on each foot despite the large amounts of mosquito repellent we bought at the store.  SIGH... In the morning, we went to the ferry terminal and travelled the 1.5hour ride to the island of Seonyudo.
It really is a lost paradise and I strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice place to visit - out of the way and very small. It didn't even feel like Korea - there were even Tuk-Tuks on the island... where else would you find that in Korea??!! In my Lonely Planet guide, it was just a short paragraph describing the beauty of the island. "A 43km ferry trip from Gunsan brings you to the relaxing and pretty island of Seonyudo, surrounded by 24 mostly uninhabited small islands. The fine white sand of its beach is the main attraction but you can also hike up the higest peak, Manjubong, which rewards you with great views of the beach and the surround sea and islands. It almost feels like a South Pacific island. The main fishing village is a 10-minut walk from the jetty where you can find shops, restaurants, yeogwan and minbak. You can walk round the island or hire a fishing boat for the day. Seoynyudo is connected to the neighbouring islands of Munyeodo and Janjado by bridges."
After swimming in the calm, warm waters of the ocean, we went back to the minbak because it was about time for dinner. We had some delicious samgyeupsal (삼겹살), BBQ pork, and then headed to the beach after dark. There were some crabs around, minding their own business, and the tide was out. We had a few more drinks from there, our wonderful bartender not shy with making their strong, and were soon caught up with the many screeches coming from the noraebang (노래방) machines. We just had to go and sing along with some English music while Bryan belted out a few Korean ones to the amusement of the locals.  There was a terribly drunk old man who proceeded to accost the four of us by smacking us all on the butt (and other places) with the tamborine. Ahhhh... the locals who find it very interesting to see foreigners!! Bryan and I ended the evening by dancing under the thundering & lightening sky in the rain. Unfortunately, I think this is the last weekend I will have to enjoy the beach before autumn sets in. 8月14日 New pictures!! Nuevas fotos!!You can have a look at the pictures from my parent's visit, now. Over the span of three weeks, we visitted Seoul, Busan and Jejudo. It was a great time. Enjoy the pics!
