Another weekend seemed to just dissapear...

On Saturday, the girls and I took a day trip to see the Big Buddha statue in Cheonan. Supposedly, it's the biggest in Asia. It was very massive and impressive. It was a beautiful, sunny day too so we got lucky. We walked around the temples and the town below as well. The temples were very colorful and the designs were so intricate.

It was a pretty early evening after going to see Big Buddha because we got up at 4am today for a deep sea fishing trip our boss took us on. We took a two hour bus ride to the port. It was a bit rainy when we got there so we were extremely skeptical about being on an open boat for six hours. Luckily the rain stopped. We fished for quite a few hours. I was getting lucky during the begginning (caught 3 fish in a row) but then my fishing weight kept getting stuck and lost in the ocean so I gave up after losing my 4th weight. It wasn't fair to everyone else to keep using them. A lot of people caught baby octopus. Our bus driver caught a baby octopus, took it off the hook and shoved it in his mouth, still alive and squirming, like it was a freaking handful of chips. It was the most disgusting thing. I did eat raw fish, chopped up right in front of us, but there was no way an octopus was gonna suck at my cheeks and tounge while I tried to eat it.  After fishing for 6 hours we went to the captain's house and his wife made us lunch. It was so sweet and welcoming. Afterwards, we headed back home, back on the bus and then bam! Sunday night already and work all over again. Luckily we have no big plans next weekend and we can all just sleep and do nothing.
