Well, I would love to write about Friday night but it seems that I hit my head and lost my memory (not really, mom).
Anyway, moving on to Saturday, Jan. 1. I had made a promise to myself to wake up and spend the day in Gyeongju with Brent. Gyeongju is an hour away from Daegu on bus, and it is highly recommended by every Korea tour book. An awesome thing about the bus ride is that it only cost about 4 dollars each. We spent the day wandering around the town and eating ssambap (I recommend it). It was a beautiful day. We then went to our hostel which is tucked inside the older part of the city. The hostel building and courtyard was about 150 years old and it is built around a well that is the same age. It was a pretty cool place. Emma got into town after she got off work and we walked around the town for a bit before heading back to the hostel.
On Sunday, we had a bunch of options of places to spend the day. We decided to head out to the coast to see the worlds only underwater tomb, The Underwater Tomb of King Munmu. The bus ride out to the coast was one hour long and it cost $1.50. We spent a good part of the day walking along the coast and eating fresh seafood. In the afternoon, we headed back into Gyeongju and decided to try to find the museum. We ended up not finding it but we found a really great area called Anapji pond. It has been reconstructed to resemble what it looked like during the second and third century. It was beautiful at night! Then, we went back to Daegu.
This month, I teach intensives which means that I teach 12 hour days on Tuesday and Thursday on top of my normal load. I taught my first one today and I'm actually liking it. Skiing this weekend!
