Random Post #2 Trip to 해남(Haenam) -- on the first day

  Before Mid-term test, Genhyung, Changsun, Byungyoon, Seunghyun, Jin ho(the Great Fabian), Young Oh, Seok Hwa, and I planned to go Haenam for our first trip. Our club, Looking for the Periphery, has two more memebers, but they couldn't join due to personal problems. We made all plans in our Facebook club, and decided to go trip right after mid-term test.

  Haenam is so called 땅끝마을, becase it locates the lowest part of the peninsula. It is well-known for beautiful sunset and sunrise, and ocean scenery. It is also famous for loacation that 1박 2일 and numerous documentaries were filmed. Every month, there are many festivals such as celebrating general 이순신 and the great scholar 정약용. This is very meaningful for us to visit Haenam, because general 이순신 and 정약용 are our school models.

 On the last day of mid-term test, we start our trip. We went to Seoul first, because we were going to take a KTX. Genhyung and Changsun, leaders of the club, already bought a train tickets at an appropriate time. Since we had two more hours to take a train, we looked around Seoul Coex and had a dinner. We dropped by famous Doll store to buy some souvenir. I bought Totoro doll for my sister. Then, after we had a dinner in Pizza Hut, we took a train at Seoul station.

 After taking train for 4 hours, we arrived at Gwang-Ju station around ten thirty. We took a commemoration picture since Gwang-Ju is one of the most important city in Korean modern history. We went to the JimJilbang, that chang-sun investigated, but JimJilbang didn't allow us to stay night there because there was no adult in our club. There were many motels around Gwang-Ju station, but most of them seem risky. So, we searched internet to look for appropriate motel or JimJilbang, and finally it was determined to go U-square JimJilbang.

 U-squre, which includes U-square JimJilbang inside, was a quite big and sophisticated building, including many facilities. We went into Sauna and enjoyed splash fight. It was very exciting because there are no one else in the Sauna. Then, we looked around the U-square building. There were CGV, many restaurants, and bus terminal. We were very lucky because we should go Haenam by bus. We planned to watch a movie early morning next day. After we came back, we had a chat for hours about our school and students. We went to bed at 2 a.m.
