3 months in Korea

Can you believe I've already been in Korea for three months? I can and I can't. Time is weird here, it has simultaneously dragged and flown by. It sort of feels like I just got here, but at the same time I feel like I've been here forever. But no matter how long I've actually been here, I have definitely gotten to see and do so much! So I'm going to try and tell you a little bit about what I've been up to lately.

Lotte World

Last month, we had a random Wednesday off for a Korean holiday. My original plan was to go to the beach, but then it was supposed to rain. So in our search for an alternate rainy day activity, we decided to go to Lotte World, which is a huge indoor amusement park in Seoul. It had everything, even an indoor roller coaster! It was a lot of fun, except for the long lines. Apparently everyone else in Korea had the same idea as we did!

Beach weekend

I did finally get to go to the beach! I went for the weekend with several friends from Icheon. We went with a tour group, so we got to meet lots of other cool people too. The beach was really fun, and on Sunday I got to go zip lining over the ocean! Scary, but so fun! (That's me!-->)

Gyeongbokgung

Gyeongbokgung is a palace in Seoul. As many of you know, I love castles, and this one was really cool. Also, I got to go with a great group of people, including coworkers and students. It was so much fun!

So I think that's it for all the big things that I've done lately. Check back for more soon though, because next week I'm going to Jeju Island! (Which I've been told is like the Hawaii of Korea!) I promise I'll tell you all about it!
