Foot Prints on the Sands of Time


Last weekend, Korean Memorial Day long weekend June 4-6 which marks the beginning of summer in this part of the world, my wife and I went to 'Muchangpo' Beach to leave our foot prints on the sands of time as we are supposed to do at this time of year.
Of course, I know the foot prints will be scorched only into my brain for a long long time possibly for the rest of my life.

The photo shows our own chalet simply established on the sands of 'Muchangpo' Beach last Sunday, June 5th 2011, around 11 o'clock in the morning. Thanks to the so-called state-of-the-art technology, we were able to communicate with the world in the chalet through our smart phones, as well as making phone calls, from this remote site.

A Trip to Deokjeok-do Island



Last Saturday, May 28th 2010, I was able to onboard an express ferry "SMART" departing Incheon Port on 8:40 in the morning to make a round trip to Deokjeok-do Island, for the second time since October 2000 together with a dozen of my old friends and their wives.

It took just over an hour for the ferry to arrive at the island's 'Jin-ri' wharf. After a short trekking through the top of 'Bijobong' mountain, we had lunch at a seafood restaurant near 'Seopo-ri' beach resort.
