28-30 October 2011
Every semester, TaLK scholars are taken on a multi-day cultural trip with the other English teachers in their province. Our group of 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th gens traveled to Busan and Gyeongju for 3 days and 2 nights. Food, transportation, and hotels all inclusive! Plus, we got Friday off.
Photos taken with my new camera and my cell phone.
My thoughts on the trip? It was nice. Relaxing. We hit a bit of traffic, so we spent a lot of time sitting on the bus and sleeping. It takes about 5 hours to travel to Busan, 5-6 to get to Gyeongju. We covered a lot of ground in 3 days. And I'm to lazy to write much else...so here are some pictures. Enjoy!
FRIDAY (28 October)
6:35am bus from Mokpo to Gwangju
5am woke up at the buttcrack of dawn. I wanted to throw my comforter in the laundry, then hang it up to dry before heading off to Gwangju. I also burnt my last piece of toast in the frying pan.
