My weekends are always very full and not so relaxing, but very fun! Friday night Katie, Alissa, and I went out to eat. We made our own spring rolls and soup, and followed it up with dessert at Krispy Kreme. Delish :)
Saturday one of Katie's co-teachers wanted to take us around Ulsan. Her name is Kitty, her husband's name is Lee, and they have a 2 year old daughter named Su-ah. First we went to a lighthouse. We saw some really HUGE ships nearby. Lee works for Hyundai - he's an engineer working to make cars more fuel efficient. Koreans are brilliant. Anyways, he said those ships hold thousands of cars and bring them over to America. It was a really windy day, so we didn't hang around too long.
Next we went to Ulsan Grand Park, and saw the butterfly museum and insect museum. Then they took us back to their apartment and cooked us dinner. We had chicken, beef, soup, kimchi, rice, bread, and salad. Then they brought out Budweiser - suuuuuuuper expensive in Korea, and coffee, and cheesecake. It was such a great meal. They asked us lots of questions about America, and we learned some things about Korea. They showed us their wedding pictures, and we played with their little girl. I hope they have us over again :)
Sunday was cherry blossom day! I've been so excited for this for so long. 4 of us went to Gyeongju. It took about 40 minutes by train. We rented bikes and rode around all day. I haven't been on a bike since junior high, and I think I had the reject bike. If I didn't go fast enough I started to lose control. Not good on busy streets. We were fine though, nobody crashed or died :) This city is really old and famous for its history, so we saw some tombs of important dead guys and a museum. We'll have to make another trip to see everything else.
