Vacation from vacation

The trip couldn't have gone better. for the first time all the korean cohorts and oles were together, and the 5 days provided the adhesive to found the begining of an extended rapport. many highlights decorated the sojourn: walking through clouds on a mountain, in dynastic tombs of antiquated nobility, near buddhist temples and the aural meditations from within, among naked asian men in an authentic full-scale sauna, through a colorful seafood market, around an old korean folk village of kindred inhabitants (a chain subsisting from centuries ago), in the Independent Hall of Korea which illuminates their history (with special emphasis on koreans tortured by japenese - a claim which japenese textbooks still do not acknowledge).

were us oles ugly tourists or welcomed parts? im not sure, but i think we were closer to the later by dint of our company and partial knowledge of the language.
