Did you go to Kyongju, like you said you'd planned?
I used the md'er on the beach the first two days. Then pitched and worked on boomerangs. Got used to the 'new' motorbike, 750 Virago. Be good to get back to the haggie/chortling kidfolk. Smile

Their temporary closure was well publicized beforehand.

Yes.
Here is what I received when I first tried to access the Woori Bank English webpage:

The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings....

Here is what appeared when I finally could accessed the page.

Notice of temporary service interruption Date 2004/09/21
Content

(That is correct. The message was blank.)

Here is a Korean message
(after a few attempts to access the pop-up message):

I don't know what to tell you -- I myself saw a complete English-language notice prominently displayed several times well before the suspension of service.

I have today an tomorrow off since my bosses are off on a business trip to Canada (they send kids to studty and homestay in Canada and make money off it somehow) Laughing

During Chuseok I went to the gf's grandmother's farm near Jeungeup in the boonies of Cholla. Got to drink a lot of soju, participate in the eating of a whole roast pig and spend a day hiking in the beautiful (and virtually empty) mountains of Naejangsan National Park.

Good times.

I drank a lot in Itaewon and Hongdae, then went to Chuncheon and spent the night in a cabin we hired in the woods.


Twas mint.

I went to Chejudo with some friends. There were no plane tickets going to Cheju, so I had to go via rail and ferry, but it was still fun. I feasted on Poop Pig, saw the folk villages of Cheju, the "ghost road" where stuff rolls uphill, and bicycled around Udo (small island off the coast of Cheju). Despite the lack of tickets, the tourist attractions were surprisingly uncrowded. It was a bit cloudy, but otherwise a blast. I can't wait to go again.
