Trip to Korea 3...

At the airport arriving from Jeju Island... (Cornelius smiling at someone else...)
 Nawon, Paul, Noah and Daniel Getz went home using public transportation from the airport. Why? Too sad to tell you the reason..., but because there were not enough seat for all of us in the car and the luggage... :(
 

Paul and Noah walking on the moving walk-way.
 
Paul and Noah entering the subway...
 
We wrote down our phone number on Noah's hand, so that in case he gets lost... he knows what number to call!! :D
 On our way home, we stopped by at the Bus Terminal to look around the market!
 
 Noah and Nawon trying out new things!
 
 
 Inside the subway was FILLED with people!!

Trip to Korea 2...

Daniel Getz, Noah, and a Daniel Kang
 We had our first meeting (or Seminar, they call it) in YeoJu. We had about 20 young people with us. My parents had the opportunity to share with the parents of those young people, Paul and Daniel Getz with the young men, and Lydia and I with the young ladies!
Overall, everything went well! Praise the Lord!! The Lord was with us throughout the whole meeting!!

Famous Bibimbap!!

Mom and Mrs. Lim

Korean traditional way of saying "Good-bye"... (Except for Paul...)


Flying to Jeju Island...

View from the plane...


This bridge is from the main part of the South Korea to Incheon, a small island where the International Airport is... This is the only way to get to Incheon, and it takes about 20 to 30 minutes to get across the bridge!!


In the plane, Cornelius asked, "Are we in Heaven??!!"

Arriving in Jeju Island...

"I am ready to get off!!"

Already loading the next flight customers' luggages...

Silly boys... :D

About the Jeju Island...

"Are we touring or just having fun in the rain??!!"

Pink Chicks...

We saw many Korean company shops... Such as Samsung...

and Hyundai...

There come our 12 passenger van!!!

Who parked the car so close??!!!

You can see this in many restaurants... It is there to get rid of the flies... How? Well, basically, when the flies get near one, they see themselves twice bigger  by the reflection, and it scares them! :D

Very windy!! "Keep hiking!!"

You could probably tell how windy it was by looking at our hair... :P

Finally arrived at the top of the "little" hill...

And so did mom... about 15 minutes after we arrived...

Long ways to go down now... Oh, boy... =3

View from the top!

Someone is still happy! :)


This is how much we came down the steps!! Actually, it is about 1/3 of how much we walked...

I was keep hearing music and announcements, and finally figured out that this strange rock was a speaker!!

Adventure begins....

Wet by the rain... and the waves....

"This thing I have in my hand makes me happy!!"

Tada!!

 A nice big meal after a long day, and a long trip! A very relaxing way to end the day! :D Tomorrow, we will pack and fly back to the land!
