From Portland to Korea and back...

Wondo and beyond

This is one of the beaches we hung out at last weekend. We started at Wondo and then took the ferry to some other random spots.
Good thing to know if your moving to Korea = any city that ends with "do" means it's an island. Although when you say it, it sounds more like "doe"


We stayed at this sweet mein-bok, which is basically a big room with tons of pillows and blankets. Super cheap...and definitely the way to go! We paid like six bucks a person. This is outside of the place...aka the middle of nowhere on a small little island...haha.


This was part of our guided tour of the island. So Danny guess what cops do in Korea? ...Nothing! They give lost girls tours and drive them around to where ever they want to go. Must be rough, huh? Plus they stop and pose for pictures. How can you say no to that?


So basically we haven't seen the sun for a really really really long time! I don't think I've ever been this pale.


Traditional Korean breakfast, compliments of some crazy old Korean lady. Obviously the best type of Koreans :)


Kyle is too cool for me.


She has the coolest hair ever! Done.


Me, sad after some hell bent kimbop shop owner threw a fit cuz we were having a fire on the beach. Apparently it's illegal all over Korea to have a fire on the beach.


p.s. I'm going to try to write 10 blogs in 10 days to make up for my lack of blogging. Sorry I'm a slacker. One down, 9 to go. :)
