Micronesia: More from Korea

Korea was enjoyable in many ways spiritually, but it is also a country with much history. We had some time to explore and enjoy some of its culture, landscape and of course its food! Before we left for our trip we asked everyone who went to Korea what their favorite thing about Korea was and everyone would say: "THE FOOD". We thought there has to more to Korea than its food. There is more than food, but we have to say that food was a big part of their culture and our joy while in the country.

The cities are very large with museums, parks, and and ancient city artifacts. At first it was very difficult to figure out the public transportation, but once we got used to not finding anything in English we came to appreciate the efficiency of their system both by bus and subway. Taxis were a little expensive, so we mainly stuck to the public transportation.

We arrived a few days early and stayed a few extra days to enjoy this beautiful country and its people. We hope to return one day and see more of the interesting sites and learn more about its complex culture.

Many private quaint farms.

Lots of creepy crawlies in Korea.

Korean BBQ, of course.

A little crazy and

delirious.

After our graduation on November 29th we had time to visit and explore Seoul and it's many sights. We also were able to have our class with our friends and family visit our brothers in jail for their neutral stand. These brothers are sentenced to a year and half or longer for their strict stance. After waiting for a few hours we were only allowed to spend about 10 minutes with them. So we had to come up with a few questions to ask and then said a prayer together. I feel we were more encouraged than our brother who we visited.
