An Adventuresome Day

So I woke up this morning planning that tonight I would blog about my first week back in Korea, but then today became adventuresome.J

All round it has been a lovely day. At my new school we do not work on Fridays. (Happy happy, joy, joy!) That being the case I organised to see three of my favourite people in Korea, morning coffee with one, lunch with another and early dinner with the third, and it was a great time of sharing and catching up with all of them.

Then I started my journey home again, and that is where the day became adventuresome. I knew which number bus to catch, and I thought I knew the stop, so I duly jumped on the bus when it came, and discovered, about the same time as my phone went flat, that I was travelling in the wrong direction and heading out into the country on a bus that was apparently planning on making a tour of all the small towns in the vicinity.

My first thought was to jump off the bus, cross the road and catch the same number going back in the opposite direction. My second thought was to ride the bus and see where it went. I followed the second thought.

After half an hour my common sense caught up with me and I did exchange buses for one heading in my desired direction. But before I did I got to see some lovely little towns (minuture versions of Seoul), and now I have a plan that on my next free Sunday I am going to spend the day jumping on and off that bus and exploring each of the towns from here to the end of the line and back. By free Sunday’s I mean, a Sunday where I am not already promised to someone else for the day – or maybe I can talk someone into accompanying me on my adventure.

It was a small adventure but it was fun. For a report on my first week back in Korea you will have to read again tomorrow night. 

(PS I did not take the photo above, it is just an awesome picture of a Korean bus that I found on the web, that's not the number I was riding either.)
