Weekends in between trips!

So we LOVE to post about our fantastic trips that we always go on. But sometimes there are weekends that trips out of Pohang are not had, and we decide to stay home and enjoy that beautiful city we live in.

A few weeks ago, right after Malaysia, a few friends and I decided to go check out the great 12 waterfalls right on the outskirts of Pohang. It was a really great day. I met with Therese and the twins Pips and Jax in the morning and we took the pleasant hour long bus ride right to where we had to go. The weather could seriously not have been better. It was sunny but definitely not too hot.

Malaysia Trip!

Forward: Because this trip was so amazingly awesome, and neither of us could bare to let the other have all the fun writing about it, we decided to agree on joint custody of Malaysia. Sam agreed to Wednesday to Saturday and Courtney wrote about Sunday to Tuesday. We hope you enjoy our vacation as much as we did!

Oh boy Malaysia!! I can’t even express how excited we three were to be heading to beautiful Malaysia. It was such a random time for us to be going on holiday because we technically only got 2 days off of school, but we decided we were doing it and we did it the most awesome way possible, I assure you.

More Pre-Malaysia Adventures

To go or not to go, that was the question. We originally had plans to go check out this super cool bull fighting festival in a town that our friend lives in. But then - of course – we heard that it was canceled. So there was a day of trying to decide what we would do instead. But then we heard from Harley (the fellow who lives in the town) that the festival was most likely not canceled because he saw signs all over the city. So we took a chance, and decided that the plan was back on!

A wrap-up before Malaysia

Me and a Student at the Steelers Game

So things have been kinda quiet for a while now. Since we’re going to Malaysia, we’ve decided to try and save our money and stay in Pohang. Since there hasn’t been much going on, we haven’t posted much. But since I have the photos, I figured I should go ahead and post them! The following photos are from the last two weekends activities, which include a soccer game, a dozen doughnut challenge (eating 12 KrispyKreme doughnuts before the other can), bowling, and climbing.

Climbing on Sunday

Now, while Sam was out playing tennis, I was going climbing! When I stopped by the gym Friday, before Dan’s salsa performance., the gym members invited me to go climbing with them. Of course I was going to say yes! Nothing could keep me away!

Cucumber is the code word....

Paint Ball TEAM!

I wrote this blog a while ago...but I had to get the pictures from someone else before I could post it. Now I'm posting it! The events of the weekend of April 8-10 begin now.

Even Tonsillitis won't keep us away!

Apparently in Korea, there is a place down south where the sea parts and you can walk across the ocean floor. Amazing right? I sure thought so! I found out about this even last year and have been keeping tabs on it, ready to head straight down to Jindo the moment it happened! Well, I found out the dates – and it happened to fall on a weekend. And that weekend, I happened to be free! I was going to the Jindo Sea Parting Festival! Of course, I told everyone about my plans – “I’m going to the Jindo Sea Parting, oh man it’s going to be soooo cooool, want to go?” That was about the time I heard the awful news, “Oh, well I think that is canceled so sorry you can’t go.” At first I was devastated! The sea parting, canceled? Why does every festival have to be canceled? (I know the answer, Foot and Mouth disease. But that doesn’t mean I like the answer!) I sat around my home in a mood of deep depression for a few minutes…..until I realized, Korea and the Foot and Mouth disease can cancel a festival, but they can NOT cancel a Sea Parting! Only God and Moses can do that! So it was set – I was going!
