Last week-end - More Pics are up on the other site

Hello everyone,

We are doing great. We had a nice week-end. On Saturday, we played cricket and rugby with some of the expats. It was a lot of fun and we were exhausted by the end of the day. We played cricket for two hours and then rugby for another three. That night, we met up with our friend John and went to the harbour for a few drinks. We went to this really interesting restaurant in the harbour that had two fireplaces and a tepee outside. We talked all night and enjoyed the fireplace that was right in front of our table. They were serving sweet potato cooked in the fire. It was a place with a lot of spunk. I am sure we will visited more often.

On Sunday, we went to Pyonseon. It is about a 40 minutes bus ride to the east of Seogwipo. It was 2.30 $ each for the bus ride. We then walked down to the ocean and visited the Jeju Folk Village. The village is a museum to show the traditional farming communities and way of life on the island. We sand many beautiful house made of several buildings. The houses were really small compared to what we have now. We were always hitting our heads when trying to look in side. They lived in communal houses where all the members of the household lived in the same houses. You did not leave you community unless you were a woman married to another family then you lived with your husbands family. The eldest son was very important to the people of Jeju island. It was an amazing experience and we learned a lot about the way of life on the island 100 to 200 years ago. There were around 120 buildings in the village. It was really big and we had a lot of fun although we were getting cold by the end since the wind pick up during the afternoon.

Then we went to the beach but it was little to windy to throw the disk and we were cold so we took a few pictures and headed home. We will go back there I am sure because the beach is very flat and perfect to play some beach ulty. The beach is a big inlet and it was low tide so the beach was enormous so I can not wait to go back. The bus ride was good. We were able to heat up. At night, we watched movie and were able to do some practicing of my Korean reading. I do not understand what I am reading but I am getting better.

Wish you all the luck and I am not happy with the outlook of the upcoming elections. I hope we atleast have a minority government.

Talk to you soon,

Christian and Karina
