Muido Muido Muido

It was another great weekend.

It took two ferries and three buses to get to this elusive little Island, but it was well worth the effort. Muido was the sight of a major battle in the Korean war(a South victory) and as a result is supposedly a huge tourist destination. However, for only five dollars Canadian(5000 kwon) we are able to stay in a hut on a pristine deserted beach. The sand was white and giant green hills made for a fairly awe-inspiring back ground.

It really seemed fairly undiscovered and I kind of felt like Leo Dicaprio in The Beach.

We spent the day swimming, playing frisbee, and BBQing(traditional Korean style which means lots of pork belly and hot kimchi=yum). We all stayed out late to see the stars, which was quite a novelty, the light pollution in Korea is extreme and I haven't gotten to see stars since I left Canada. In the morning, I woke up early and went for a walk on the beach alone. I was climbing over some rocks when I saw, near my toes, my first wild Tarantuala. It was black and hairy and about the size of my fist. Pretty much the most terrifying thing ever.

I'll post some pictures later.
