Cheusok vacation

This past week, Korea celebrated Cheusok (Korean Thanksgiving). Almost everyone in the country has a vacation and it is a big travelling time. Knowing that this will be my last year in Korea, I, along with some friends (Cathy, Sarah and Paula) decided that we would spend our Cheusok in Korea. We found an online tour group called Adventure Korea which specializes in organizing English speaking tours in Korea and booked a trip. On Wednesday, October 4 through Saturday, October 7, we went to Ulleng-do and Dukdo Islands (about 10 hours away from Seoul). Along with 85 other foreigners, we boarded a bus and took a 2.5 hour ferry ride to the middle of the ocean, for some rest and relaxation. Here are the pictures from my trip...

7 hours on a bus can make anyone tired. I found this photo once I got home from the island... aparently Cathy stole my camera... I think it is pretty funny.

This is all of us outside of the ferry, while we are still on the mainland. The ferry is not at all like one in Canada... on this one you are assigned a seat on the boat and are not allowed outside at any time. There are windows on all sides of the boat... but they do not open. So needless to say a lot of people became sea sick... without any air in a boat... well it can be overwhelming. Oh well... it was an experience.
