Saturday on the Sea Train



Last weekend we realized that we are quickly running out of time here in Korea, so we decided to make the most of it and get out of town!  In a spur-of-the-moment decision, we decided to hop on the morning train to see the East Sea (or Sea of Japan for those of you who live in Japan... :).  It was a 3 1/2 hour ride to Jeong Dong Jin, the world's closest train station to the ocean. 

Crazy Hotel on the Hill
Unfortunately, because of the train schedule you end up spending more time on the train than you get to at the ocean...but it was still worth it.  After all, train rides are part of the experience...why America don't you have more trains and better public transportation!?!?!  Anyway, we spent a couple hours playing on the beach, picking up shells, digging up strange crustaceans, and eating a cold corndog on a stick (that may have been sold to us by a crazy lady).

Going to the ocean was a great way to spend one of our last weekends, and luckily for us we have a full week of the Bonghwa Fish Festival to use up our remaining two weekends here!

    what a great picture of you two. I heard a little rumor that you two have LOST weight while you were there? I'm pretty sure you were both thin to begin with; how is this possible? But you look terrific anyway! :)

    What day do you guys come back? If you are flying into Omaha and need a ride, let us know. Too bad we don't have a fish festival over here. America may be a disappointment to you, what with the lack of public transportation and all! Ha! It will be GREAT to see you guys again...can't believe it's been a whole year. We miss you!

    This is the month that you come back!!!!!!!!! It is finally here! If the train system in Lincoln disappoints you, I know an old guy with a green Ford Escort who would drive you around for pretty cheap... Just a thought...
