Just A Walk On The Beach

This is for m. I am quite awkward to speak about anything I will say now because I am quite feeling lazy. I never thought of this negative word for a very long time but, I am kind of feeling it. Anyway, I am going to let it all out.

It was Friday afternoon and definitely was a long week at work. It was a really a fun week although “fun”pertains to “work” because I got to learn undoubtedly new valuable learning again. I am so sure the knowledge and skills I gained won’t go to waste. Since the feeling is quite stuffy in my head and the body is a little bit complaining, I decided to drive to a beach near my place. It was a 20-minute travel and I went to the same place I have been when I arrived here. My co-worker brought me to a home-made sundae shop where you can really taste a variety of super good ice cream. I remember we had “banana split” before.

This time I grabbed some “black forest sundae” which contains blueberries, a cheery, and a landing of mouth-watering frosty on top. I brought some pistachios with me and ate those both. It was really a delectable feast.

After indulging,I headed on for a walk on the beach. One thing I forgot, it was 7pm in the evening, and it was really cold plus too bad I forgot to grab my jacket, which is the reason why I went home first. The parking along the beach is definitely for free and it's just you need to find an available spot. There's nothing to worry about cars being taken, since I believe Americans are well-disciplined people and undeniably law abiding citizen. They won't bother others as well but they are so warm and friendly too. 

Some Americans spend their leisure time after work at the beach. They’re just going to bring their own seats and will savor the beauty of the horizon. Some will come to swim enjoying the cool water and others will just read books letting the hours past. I did not bring something to read since it's already dark when I went there but I enjoyed the visit a lot. I will surely never forget this place. I mean this country when get back home. It will be soon..

Two Words: Cherry Blossoms

There are so many beautiful places to see in South Korea. It has always been my dream, plan, and desire to visit Jinhae, South Korea just to see this wonderful place. I have searched and found that there exists a village so great like this. 

The city of Jinhae (진해시), is a special city located on a mountainous stretch of Korea’s namhae, or southern coastline. The town is best known as home to the world’s largest number of flowering cherry trees, or beotkkot namu (벚꽃 나무). For only a few short weeks each spring, an estimated 340,000 trees burst into a virtual sea of pale-pink blossoms. 

Getting There: 

• From Seoul, high speed KTX trains leave Seoul Station for Miryang several times daily. From Miryang, the Saemaeul train goes to Jinhae. The 3-hour total journey runs 46,000 won for adults. It was suggested to travel by train so as not to get stuck in traffic and the location is very convenient and beautiful.
• Or, take a bus from Seoul Express Bus Terminal to Masan Express Bus Terminal. The 4.5 hour ride costs between 18,200 to 27,300 won (approximate). From Masan, buses leave frequently for nearby Jinhae. 

It's too far from Seoul (place where I can stay) but I think nothing is impossible if I really want to be there. However, still I do not have the chance and it is not now, not this year or not anymore? The latter mentioned probability is definitely wrong. I can of course still travel to that country but not yet. It is so unclear and I am praying that it will be soon. I do not ask for anything else and I am happy to be where I am now. God is indeed so good to me by giving such rare opportunity to be here. Nevertheless, it is my hope someday; this seized desire to be at the place I am dreaming would come to reality. 

One more thing, I am still struggling to initiate even simple Korean conversations to make me survive if I am in a place where English is not spoken much. It should not happen that I would have spoken no English with locals there too. I am certain, their people can at least converse understandably in English especially their younger generations and those who live in the cities. They make it certain now that English is learnt and taught to everyone since this is a tongue mandatory to be considered as at least a second language. 

To avoid language barriers, I must be equipped with some Korean language basics when I go there. It must be the reason, why I am not allowed by the circumstances right now. It’s telling me, you’re not skillful enough to communicate or comprehend. ^^ aw~~ :| 난 할 수있어!
