It started pretty, and it ended pretty unless you look at the pictures with Ben in them. Then, we issue a formal apology to your poor, poor eyes. (Hmm, can you tell who wrote that?)
First, the view from our window (with a great camera): snow-capped Mt. Hallasan, the tallest mountain in South Korea!
Now, our late-November visit to the Spirited Garden, supposedly the world's only outdoor bonsai garden? Bonsais everywhere, along with signs with "life lessons" gained from cultivating bonsai from the garden's founder.
It's so fall-ish here! Yay!
Want to hug all the fall...
Hmm, insert Ben on the swing next to me in your head.
Yes, a dolhareubang Santa in a park filled with Buddhist musings... Oh Christmas, is there anywhere you won't go?
I don't want this fish to look like it's eating my head!
According to the sign, some people call the quince "a disgrace among fruits." Maybe because you can't just eat a quince, you have to cook it first? Oh quince tree, how do you hold your fruit up?
This pomelo is sooooo big.
Aww, so mini! (As my students would say.)
Note how the rail is made out of human figures? Kind of cool, kind of creepy...
Teapot, yes, short and stout... not so much.
Again, why....?
Lovely Hyeopchae Beach on the western side of Jeju, with Biyangdo Island in the background! The lava rocks in the water make so many beautiful different colors here...
Cigarettes already have your children. Don't give them the beach, too!
To prevent erosion? Not sure what's going on here.
A more debauched way to prevent erosion... This was an impressive pile outside a restaurant close to the beach.
And you thought Jeju wouldn't have enough reggae for you...
This cat is planning to kill for that tuna kimbap.
Another Sunday, another day of fun exploring! Next up: trying on hanbok at our last Korean class of the season!
