Vacation - July 27









Seoul isn't Korea - we wanted to show Kerri a little rural Korea, where no one speaks English and you can actually see the mountains. We took a train east to the province of Gangwon-Do. We went to the small town of Gangchon, where we heard there was many dalkalbi restaurants, bungee-jumping, and a huge waterfall in the mountains which you can bike to with one of their million bikes to rent (there were 3x more bikes then residents). Through elaborate miming and the word bungee (same word in Korea), we found out that it was in a town 20 minutes from there. We ate our chicken kalbi, and biked to the waterfall. Our pension for the night had no mattresses (I'm so used to the western luxuries in Seoul), but it had a TV. So when it rained the next morning, we showed Kerri all the infommercials Korea had to offer. It continued to rain throughout the morning, so we took the train home... Here are my pictures.
