The last few days have been fun, we've finished midterms, haven't gotten our grades back yet, but fingers crossed. Next week is finals and graduation. Time has gone relatively fast here, a month sounds like such a long time, but we are now getting down to our final days.

On last Wednesday we went hiking. Even though it was raining quite hard, it was so much fun. When we got up our first hill, we accidentally wondered into a private temple, where a monk yelled at us to leave! Once we got out of there we hiked to the top of some mountain. The hiking here is absolutely beautiful, and many people enjoy the scenic views.


Well last Saturday we went to a beach west of Seoul; what an adventure that was. Like I've said before the subway system is very easy to figure out, the bus system is a little more difficult. To get to the beach we took an hour subway ride, than an almost two hour bus ride, then a taxi ride to a 10 minute ferry to an island, to then get on another bus ride to finally have to walk the last half mile or so to the actual beach. The beach was not at all touristy which I really enjoyed. The weather was quite foggy, but swimming was still fun, I believe we were in the east China sea, but whoever we asked they said something different.

And on Sunday, we went to the DMZ. I couldn't take many pictures due to the restrictions. The experience was fun and at least I can say I've been there, but it was extremely touristy. We were able to go into an underground tunnel that North Korea dug under the DMZ in order to attack South Korea, so that was pretty interesting. Other than that it was extremely interesting but not as dangerous or exciting as you might expect.
