EPISODE 1 : OBLIGATORY JEJU ISLAND JOURNEY

Our drama began in high school. Brought together by our mutual, nerdy love of anime plus a dramatic haircut, during our 12 years together we slowly progressed (devolved?) into watching live-action South Korean dramas, or K-dramas. Eventually, our interest in Asian culture led us to take the leap and move abroad for an international teaching job for Hannah, and an enviable new career in house husband-ry for Ben. As it is “a truth universally acknowledged” that all K-dramas must have an episode on South Korea’s vacation island, the latest installment of our G-drama (Greaves drama) unfolds here on beautiful Jeju, in the midst of the East China Sea…

EPISODE 14: SUBMARINES, MILITARY BASES AND....GOATS? Hello, Songaksan.

ust some of the sights you'll see when you visit Songaksan, one of our coastal volcano mountains.
Strangely though, whenever I'm there, I always feel like Hannah and I are on a Scottish moor. Jeju never stops being full of visual surprises.

Hannah wanted to do this walk. I said it was too windy and cold. The tall grass agreed.
Hannah did not. Hence the photos.



Don't you dare fall during the submarine tour; that is sure to hurt business.








Overlooking the ocean, and then... oh, hello, goat clinging to the tenuous countryside!



You've got square eye. Go to the nurse's office.



Where Hannah sends me when she's mad at me. It's rather cold and drowndy.






I love how the water made semi-circle frequency lines off the crag.


FLAME GRASS

IT BURNS

Wait a sec. What's that?

FLAME BIRDS. 

Also a lost cactus.

Oh. Did I startle you? Neeeeeee (Korean for yes).


Bonus photo of when the 3 house husbands hiked one of the peaks on Mount Hallasan (the one we can see from our window - see last post).
I was not dressed appropriately.
