After our January jaunt in Beijing we once again had to leave the country for our visas....so it was off to South Korea to visit friends for 24 hours! We flew in to Busan then headed south to Geoje Island, which was absolutely beautiful even in January. We drove around a good portion of the island, stopping of course to see the shipyard that makes Jiangyin's look oh-so-tiny, ate good Korean food--including fermented baby octopus (surprisingly good!), drank a good amount of Soju and Scotch (separately), and even squeezed in a near fatal trip to Costco before jumping back on the plane.

It was a whirlwind trip, but great to sleep in a comfortable bed and see Dougie & Ji-Young's town, even if the trip ended with food poisoning from Costco. At least the food poisoning gods were slightly kind, in that it didn't kick in until after our flight. Oy.
costco in S Korea? hm... that far... and not even good food, what a disappointment. love the pictures.
ReplyDeleteWe are international Costco connoisseurs! Melbourne, Australia, Busan, South Korea--it's great for stocking up on things we can't find here! The food poisoning was a definitely let down though!
DeleteI can see my old apartment building in the last shot...loved this post. It made me homesick for Busan. Except the Costco food.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to get a glimpse of 'home'! You used to live in a beautiful city! We were so excited to stock up on some basics and Costco and then, well...
