Last weekend I needed to get away. Korea has many public transportation options at affordable prices which makes weekend mini-vacations a can-do. There are many reasons I felt the need to “get away.” As you know, I’ve transitioned the same kind of job (teaching the little ones) but with a different company. As much as I love the big city, living in one of the biggest cities in the world begs for a breather. Thus, for the first time, I hit up Korea’s country side.
Snow in March! Andong area.
Nature’s Beauty.
Andong Village. This village is about 600 years old and is very famous for being a traditional village in Korea. In October Andong becomes alive during the mask festival.
Sepia tone–very classic
Andong Lake was/is famous…but is now all dried up. Guess it’s that global warming. Do your part, individuals, and recycle, save the water, etc.
Rock Formations of Andong Lake, South Korea.
It was a pleasant weekend. While I don’t hope for continuous chaos which begs for a breather, I do hope to take more mini-vacations and explore ancient ruins, fortresses, and big, beautiful, or spooky caves. Hope you are able to take a mini-vacation and breather as well. Especially in the USA, I know things are tough with the recession. Take care my friends. Love, Phoebe*
