Random tub of drinking water!
My friends walking to the temple. From the left we have Julia, Amy, Connie, Erin, Kathrine and Howard. (also it looks like I will be vacationing to Thailand in December with Connie and Erin!)
There's this thing called 'owling' where you crouch like an owl.. I guess that's all I have to say about this one.. LOL
We met at Suknam-sa temple around 11:00 am, and explored it for a couple hours. We walked around, met some nice Korean ladies that who were having a picnic and exchanged some food, and actually went inside the temple with a Buddhist monk. She was very nice, and even though she was speaking all in Korean, we seemed to understand the message she was trying to convey about spirituality and the heart. (very touching)
Wish we would have gotten a good picture with all of us, but here is 4 of us in the temple.
Temple from the outside.
We walked back to the road and caught a bus to Paraeso Falls which is a tourist attraction here in Ulsan, and had a hike there. After hiking upwards for about 20 minutes we reached the waterfall which was very cool. We had a little picnic there and waded in the FREEZING water. We decided to pass on swimming, haha. We hung out there for about an hour and then headed back to the bus stop.
Howard and I decided it necessary to climb nearly every large rock on the way to the Falls.. including this one!
Beautiful view.. oh yeah, and Howard!
Like I said.. FREEZING!
My group attempting to get a 'jump shot' ... 3 of them succeeded! (The girl third from the left is Jenna, and all the way to the right is Ashley)
If it isn't obvious yet, we started getting pretty silly by the time we were leaving. We all decided we should skydive together, and that inspired this little video, lol
Next we all took a bus to Andong, which is a small town on the way back to the city, where 2 of our friends live. We stopped and ate at ______, a Vietnamese style restaurant which was really good! We ate and visited there for quite a while, then those of us who live near the city caught the bus that way. We stopped in 'New Downtown' or 'Samsandong' to transfer buses to my friends neighborhood, but ended up going to a dance club there, which was lots of fun!
Getting ready to leave Paraeso Falls.
My friend Amy about to eat a little octopus. (She actually refused to eat it, but posed for the picture :)
Our whole group at dinner minus Howard and Jenna.
I had planned on being home by mid to late afternoon, but I got home a little after midnight! It was really great and I plan on hanging with this group all the time, they're the coolest! :D
