March 6 means that we have exactly 4 months until we leave Korea on July 6th. Even though part of us is eagerly waiting for July, there are other things that we really want to do before we go. So the other day Albino and I made a list of all the things we want to do & see before we go. We know that 4 months is going to fly by, so we need to start checking things off our list!
So here it is…
TO-DO BEFORE WE LEAVE KOREA CHECK LIST
– Climb Daecheonbong Peak at Seorak-san National Park. This is the national Park that we have climbed a few hikes at and is really close to Sokcho. But THIS hike is the highest peak at this park. Albino and I have always said we are going to do it but haven’t yet… so this spring will have to be the time!
– Eat gamjatang at least one more time! Gam-ja-tang = pork bone soup. Oh my goodness it’s SO good & we must eat it at least once more before leaving Korea.
– Try Sundae for the first time….specifically ojing-eo sundae which is squid sundae. It’s grilled squid stuffed with fried rice & egg. So we’ve never tried it because it doesn’t sound like a have.. but people rave about it so we’ll have to try!
– Ride our bikes a lot as soon as the weather is better!
– Go to Daepo Harbor. We’ve been before but it’s been remodeled and so we’ll have to see it once we go.
– Go to the outlets south of Seoul.
– Go to Busan. It’s 6 hours by bus and we don’t have any long weekends so it looks like it’ll be quite the weekend trip!
– Insadong – a artsty/crafty are of Seoul where I’d like to pick up some souvenirs for our home from Korea.
– Go to Norae-Bang once more. aka: singing room. aka: karaoke.
– Go to the downtown market and simply take it all in one last time. fresh fruit, fish, tools..etc.
– Take more, GOOD pictures of Sokcho and our life here.
– Try baek-soju and so-maek. (Korean mixed drinks)
– Go to a baseball game in Seoul!
– Have a BBQ.
So that’s our list so far. Natural things like packing, sending things home and going to our regular places aren’t on the list because it just seems obvious but there are many things to do before leaving!
Looks like all our weekends are filled!
Happy 4 months! A&K
