So, last week-end was great. Friday night we had dinner and wine up until 5am, so Saturday I was basically lethargic. Nonetheless, I took advantage of the beautiful sunny day on Sunday and decided to go to Udo. I missed the pumpkin festival but apparently it wasn’t worth it anyway.
As you know, I live in Jejudo – an island south of Korea. Udo is another island, just West of Jeju. It’s quite small, but gorgeous! Moreover, a lot of women divers live and work there, and some of Korea’s most beautiful beaches are on that island.
It was an hour scooter ride, and then a 20 minute boat ride to finally get there. I just walked around, hiked a nice hill on a cliff, sat on the beach and cruised. Many women divers were working (on a Sunday?) and, even though the weather was really nice, the air was cold and so was the water.
I met on of them on the street – she was sorting out her picks of the day and she barely looked at me. I noticed she had something in her ears so I spoke louder, offering her a banana. She was thrilled and gave me some of what she had in her bucket… I still don’t know what it is, but it was viscous and slowly moving in my hand. I took a bite, it was alright. I offered her water but she repeated a thousand times “choua! Choua!” (“cold!”) so I thanked her and left.
Here is some more Korean beauty.
