We then went for a small walk along the beach with some hot chocos/coffees. We boarded the coach not long after and were stuck on it for ages!!!! They played the movie 'Blind', I couldn't understand it but I got the basic idea what the plot was. It was really quite good. The adjummas on the bus were really into it.
One of the drunk teachers actually walked into the wet cement the night before....
Anyways we went to Buan. Our first stop was a artifical lake which wasn't a lake anymore because it was too big and cost too much to change the water from salt water. I was told there was protest about it etc. In fact the whole area is 3 times bigger that Seoul they told me and the government spent a lot of money making it in to a nature reserve (orginally that wasn't the plan but again there were protest in the government ruining the land where bird migrate). Anyways there was a cool dam thing. The road ran through it and they made it look quite nice (even though it's not used anymore).
Lake/non lake....
Our second stop was a museum about the area. Me and Mina just played hide and seek which wasn't hard as it was only one room. After that we went to our lunch area. We were first made to go for a walk around the port and take a group picture (I don't think I was even in it as I was too short!). The area was like an older fishermans village.Though two adjumma food store were having a competition of who could play there music louder. At this point me and Sarah decided we were in step up 4! Luckly no-one else was around :P
When we entered the resturant most teachers were already there. The resturant was so small and not made to fit 90+ teachers. We saw our group around ta corner hidden but before we could sit down we heard a 'Laura, Sarah' we at first pretended not to hear but Sarah got captured to her way to the restroom and I couldn't ignore it when I heard my name said again. Yes, we were made to sit at the principals table. That is why I have no food pictures. Lunch was rice porridge (yuck), clams, and raw crab. The raw crab was intresting. I was told this resturant is the best as normally it smells so bad but this had no smell. We had to suck the meat out of its legs. Of course the male teachers were drinking raspberry wine by this point.
We then got back on the coach we made our way to a temple/hiking spot. There was the most beautiful tree there. The leaves were yellow in the middle then went out to red like it was on fire. The area is in a poem based on fact saying that after a battle many years ago the kings mistresses threw themselves off this cliff. My teacher said it was 30,000 but it was most likely 3 or 30 and the number got bigger and bigger throughout history. When we finished we saw the principal waiting with food (and drink).
Fire tree
The suicide cliff
Famous temple where many romantic poems were written
The journey back took too long as it was on Friday night in Seoul. We left at 4.30 and arrived back at 9pm!!!
We were still full from the last two days that we didn't need dinner!!! ><
