Planing the first journey.

Long time no see my blog.... I had had a lot to think about my future. In the end my brain couldn't bear too many thoughts, so I got headache for a few days. One day on left side of my head, and day on the other side.... Fortunately I'm OK now.

Here is my plan. I decided to go to Australia for working holiday. I told everybody that I wanted to go to Spain, but the financial situation in Korea has been horrible these days. I had to go to a place I couldn't expect. 1900 won per 1 euro!!!! Can you believe it?? It's a crazy circumstance!!
Economy in every country is in panic, but who else thinks that it affects themselves??

Question. Which is better, Taking a part-time job staying in a place for a long time, or picking fruits going around in Australia?? Some recommended the first one, and some recommended the second one. Actually I like the first 'cause I need to study in a good condition.

Everything moves for my aspiration " Going to Spain!!! " I have a vacation for 7 days next week. I'll apply for visa to Australia, and have a medical test. Don't worry Bill!! You're doing well. Siempre buena suerte!!!

Unexpected trip ( Day 2 )

We got up at about 10 A.M. Decided to go to a cave called Go-su. The landlord told that I took about 30 minutes to get there, but we didn't have any transportation to use. So I asked him to give us a ride there, he accepted my proposal willingly.

The cave looked like that I'm inside a gut. There was nothing but weird stones. It wasn't as huge as I expected. Couldn't believe that it was a masterpiece of the nature. Paul and James kept murmuring "Wonderful, Amazing" Actually It wasn't a perfect scenery for me. Just wanted to get out of there.

Inside the cave

After getting outside. We bumped into a store to sell some tea. The ingredients were from roots of flowers. It relieved everything through my throat, and it was tasty a little bit. Tea, Fresh sir, Sunshine.... I felt I was welcome to this place.

After lunch we were determined to get on a ship on the river. The ice on the river had been melting when we got there. The Scenery was what I was looking for. The wind, the mountains with snow, and the river were magnificent unless I was blind.

This is the best one of my trip.

In a drama set.

Our final course was a huge temple village( I want to call it! ) It was like a village on the mountain. A taxi driver said that we should have seen a statue in a temple on the top. I hadn't
done the exercise for a long time, so it was a big chance to clean inside my body. The village was more beautiful that any other temples. Being close to the nature, this is what I feel when I see Buddhists. There is no desire in their mind. However, it doesn't fit my way. I want to talk, cooperate, sing with the world. That is one of the reasons why I don't like religions.

The temple village( Gu-in-sa )

I always feel that I'm stuck in the cell during the ceremony on Sunday. Once I saw a TV show, a famous singer was being asked what his dream is. Then he answered " I want to fly"

Yes, it's stupid, but it is not a goal, it is dream! Maybe he was drunken I think. I think I still desire " Freedom " from somewhere. Parents?? It's different.

What I felt with this trip was that there were numerous things I have to see in the world. So I decided to understand my country first. They might have been waiting for me until now. Now I shall find the message from soul. Oh........... Too much abstract. Wake Up!!!

Unexpected trip ( Day 1 )

A week ago, Paul and James asked me to travel to somewhere with them. Momentarily, I said "yes" without hesitating. Didn't know why. Just desired to go somewhere. Perhaps, it was for me struggling to get out of the low self esteem which went on for a while these days.

The place we went was Danyang where I'd never heard about. And I worried about the trip because that It was snowing, and it was a big national holiday in Korea. On the contrary we would attempt to get there. I found a beautiful place to stay on the Internet. We were so lucky.

In the morning my phone rang, and I answered. It was Romie teacher. Well..... honestly I didn't expect a lot of people, but she hadn't got along with us.(But with Paul??? I don't know) It was 30 minutes ago you know... Anyway she wanted to come with us, so I couldn't say "NO!!!!", and we started our journey from Su-yu station at last.

It took about 3 hours by bus to Danyang. Paul was wearing Noel Gallagher's sunglasses on the bus, James's I-pod had broken down suddenly. But for me everything was exciting.

After getting off the bus, we went to a market for some food. It cost over 120.000 won for two days. I didn't care the price, the only thing I cared was the barbecue at the house.

We arrived at the house at 5 P.M. We couldn't go some famous places that day, but I took some pictures of the scenery.

The scenery from the house.

The house we stayed.

I set these bottles of beer, but we couldn't finish them.

The barbecue set I love.

Afterwards, I grilled some pork, and Romie cooked the other food. As you wish, the dinner was great although I got drunken rapidly with two glasses of white wine. Harry Potter & Goblet of Fire was on TV in the night. Everybody was bored but me. I like fantastic stories. I know that they are too far from reality, but they always give me Hope ; The reason why I live, the oasis at your dry mind like a desert.

After then we played a Korean card game called "Go & Stop" James won twice though he didn't know the rule much. Finally the first day of the trip had been ended gradually with my snoring, and , many things were waiting for us on the second day.
