There and Back Again

Today packed a long day of activities. Since one of my aunt's kids had to miss school, one of her assignments was to visit all these different museums and take pictures for proof.

I went for a morning swim to get a taste of the big ocean that I dearly missed. Surprisingly, the water was warmer than Lake Huron at this time, and swimming was made easy by the increase in buoyancy by the salt in the water.






Other than public beaches, the shores are lined up with these igneous rocks I mentioned in previous posts. Due to the number of holes and landscape, it hosts a lot of different habitat. When you walk on it, you can see so many creatures moving past you to avoid the footsteps.

We went to the nature park where they display different kinds of plants and trees from all around the world including paths into caves and desert greenhouses.
It takes steady hand to take pictures in caves.
This is actually a very small model of the house. Taken at the Bonsai tree area.
A big reason for my stay at Jeju Island right now is because my grandpa's grave is being moved from this location to another with my great grandparents. Luckily I got to see the orginial spot before it was moved. Koreans have a way to put a great significance to remember and honor the dead. The view, direction, and landscape conditions are criteria that must be considered before choosing a location.

Strategizing our hunt. We saw a bunch of pheasants (꿩) in this potato farm, which we wanted to catch one with rocks. It was a great idea at the time.
