Road Trip...Ganghwa Island

This weekend we finally made it out for our much talked about road trip. We went to Ganghwa Island just outside of Incheon and about an hour west of Seoul. We rented out a pension which is Konglish for penthouse/mansion but is more like a cottage you can rent out.

Here's about the only nice picture from the weekend. We took it shortly after arriving at the Nakcho Pension. In this picture are Rachel Lynn, Yun Jeong, Min Jung (SJ's cousin) and Ye-hi (her friend) in the front and Sung Ho, Saejin and I lining the back.

On this top floor were three other rooms that could be rented out. This weekend there was only one other group on our floor and five or six more in the surrounding buildings. During the summer it can get pretty rowdy in these places as companies book them out and the salary men and women go crazy on soju and fresh air.

The view of the farmers fields out back where a farmer was burning dead grass and beyond the smoke is the ocean.

The first of many poses.


An inside view of the living room. There was another separate bedroom and two segregated bathrooms. The woman's had the hot water and sink while the men's housed the washing machine. I'm not sure what message the owners of the place were trying to send with that set up.
