Every year, the difference in high and low tides causes the sea to part, allowing visitors to walk from the mainland to a nearby island. The phenomenon creates a 2.8-km long road measuring 40-60 meters in width. Shirley and I are going to dress up as Moses and the Pharaoh.

The small town of Jinhae is home to the world's largest number of flowering cherry trees. This is the largest cherry blossom festival in Korea and recommended as one of the 50 must-see places in Korea by CNN. In Jinhae, the cherry trees form a tunnel around the train tracks, so when the train whizzes by, the sky rains cherry blossom petals. It's going to be beautiful!

Nonsan is Korea's largest strawberry-producing region. Enough said.
April 18-22 (Saturday): Cheongdo Bullfighting Festival
Who knew that Korea had a long history of tradition of bullfighting? Certainly, not me. Normally, I am completely against the use of animals for entertainment purposes. I think it's wrong and unethical like the circus and Jersey Shore. But since I am in Korea and this is clearly something that I would never do, I might as well check it out for the cultural experience. I'll leave my PETA shirt at home.
April 27-29 (Saturday): Gwangalli Eobang Festival
