It was the final Sunday before the start of school, and Amber and I decided to take a walk around the area. We went with a fellow teacher, Liane, and walked the area close to the school. The plan was to go up to this monastery that is close by, but it turns out the the path we took didn't lead to the building... even though we could see it from where we were standing. In the process of looking for it, I did take some pictures that stood out to me. A couple pictures were of these cave like areas that looked like old ruins... too dark to traverse inside, we decided to just take pictures of them, and then move on. I also took some pictures of the little park area right near the school. The park has a couple of benches, some stone objects (as seen in the picture), and a little trickling brook that runs down the middle of it. When we were struggling to find the monastery, we stumbled upon a tiny farm that had rows and rows of red chilies, some of which were 5 or 6 inches long. I took a picture of them mostly because I was amazed by the size and the sheer amount of them being grown. I now know why most food here is so spicy, because they throw a ton of peppers into them.
The other photo I took was of the new apartment complex being built right near the school. The project started in May and they are nearly complete with the buildings... or so it seems. One thing to understand, is that Korean buildings go up really fast because they work 7 days a week and they work in teams... so you will see people working at all hours of the night. The picture is a testament to how fast they can constructed buildings here. The complex... coming from the architectural designs, looks like it is going to be a massive area of buildings, green trees, and water areas. I hope that construction is completed before I leave so that I can take pictures of the final situation.
