I I know that Adam and I have let on that we are not enjoying ourselves teaching, however I must admit that this past weekend has totally changed my outlook on the country of Korea. I have decided that the people in this country are the nicest I have ever met. People go completely out of their way to help you. In that respect, it has been amazing. We also got to go into the mountains this weekend and the countryside is beautiful.

This weekend Adam and I had a great time! We went to a town called Danyang. It was a small town about 2.5 hours away from here. We arrived late Saturday night (well, late to us, 7pm). We found a hotel and wandered the streets looking for a place to eat. In hindsite we realized we stayed in the wrong area of town. We were on the outskirts of the tourist part to restaurants were harder to come by. Long story short, we ended up eating at the hotel. The food was great. I had crab soup and adam had a traditional dish called bibmibop. Anyway, sunday was great. We woke up to rain, so that wasn't great however we went to the information centre and decided to go to a cave and then to a buddist temple. The woman at the tourist place was so nice! Anyway, first we went to a cave. Holy cow, Koreans take cheezy tourism to a new level. The cave was unlike anything I have ever seen. There was a steel walkway throughout it, and we were packed in like sardines! They even had areas where you could pay to get your picture taken!!! It was hilarious. After that experience we took a bus to a buddist temple. This was the highlight. It was beautful and unlike anything I have ever seen. The picture above is at the top of the hike the monks and nuns do to get to budda's burrial site. There were people praying and chanting everywhere. We looked a little out of place, but it was totally worth it. The temple was set in the middle of the mountains and was so beautful. Walking around was quite the workout though! Either uphill or downhill!! I will add more pictures when I can. It really was an amazing experience.
