What? How is this even possible?

Somehow while cleaning my apartment, I managed to make it messier.

I guess I should commence my attack on the blob of crap lying around my apartment.

Also, I am hosting a female couch surfer from China on Wednesday! (Hence the need to REALLY clean my apartment and not just reorganize the junkpiles)

Muuido

One of the many pleasures of living on the coast, and in a port city, is that you have the opportunity to go to a lot of the small islands around the city. I had a great weekend in Muuido, which is one of those small islands in Korea. By the way, "do" - pronounced doe - means island in Korean. The water, which was about the temperature of bathwater, wasn't exactly refreshing but it was nice to be on a beach all the same. We had badminton, booze, beach, bonfires, and birthday cake. It was a really nice end to summer. I still don't have my camera, since it was demolished at Jisan, but my friend Taylor got a lot of really cool pictures, which I will include below.



















Directions: The easiest way to get to the airport island is to take the 303 bus to the airport. Then from the airport take the 222 or the 302 (+ a five minute walk) to Jamjindo Wharf. It's 3,000W (...and you don't have to pay on the return ferry). Once you're there wait about for the village bus and ride it for about 20 minutes to Hanagae Beach - you have to pay a small entrance fee. (2,000W) The beach huts are 30,000W plus a 10,000W deposit. Or you can pitch a tent. It's free to camp if you own a tent or you can rent for 4,000W. There are seafood restaurants over there and a corner shop so not need to cart your food and drink all the way there.

Jisan Music Festival

I went to a great festival. My camera was utterly demolished by concertgoers and completely broken, but the sim card is intact. (If we're friends irl or on facebook then you'll see pictures soonish) I lost 70,000 won when it fell out of my pocket between the hours of 2 am and 8 am.(possibly in the giant communal showers) I laid around a pool and went down this giant dinosaur slide at the pool. I lost my cute going out shirt when I took it off during MUSE. (I had a tank top on underneath to soak up most of the sweat because it was ridiculously hot) I met the creator and owners of TOMS shoes. Also, I saw some great music and danced around like a crazy person.
