Honestly, now.


Graveyard and lunar eclipse

So there was a lunar eclipse last night and some of us (Myself, Kerri, Don, Sam and Jen) decided to try and escape the light pollution to see it. So, at a little after one in the morning, we meet up at the E-Mart in the town over and start our hike (I’ll try and put up pictures this weekend.) Hiking in the dark isn’t too bad. No one else is out and it’s fairly cool (almost cold). After hiking up and up and up (and being fairly certain that my legs are going to fall off), we hit the clearing. It was amazing. Take-your-breath-away amazing. The trail let to a huge burial ground (with burial mounds in an mix of tradition-Korean and Catholic decor). It’s covered several hill. The moon was full and you could see all around (and stars! I haven’t seen stars since I arrived!). We sat on the hill and watched the moon. It was almost eerie it was so quiet. A perfect night. I didn’t get home until nearly six in the morning (the sun was just starting to rise). I’m pretty tired today, but it was more than worth it. Even now, I’m still struck by the place. Kerri and I are planning on going back in the daytime to see what it’s like then.

That reminds me that I haven’t had ice cream in a long time.

Try gellato. Amazing stuff, that.

Interesting……I found a gellato place, but I can’t remember were it was. Maybe in Itaewan, but I just don’t know. I’ll stumble across it eventually.
