Just wondering what people are doing for our upcoming three-day weekend (October 2-4). I need ideas on how to spend my last holiday in Korea.

Typically I go to the Andong Maskdance festival every year at this time. It is especially good that it falls on the holiday this year(usually does), meaning I have the time and many Koreans will be busy with their families.

What: Biannual Deokjeokdo Camping Trip (May and October)

Where: Seopori Beach, Deokjeok Island

When: October 2-4, 2009

Price: Free � This is a DIY affair

How: 60min. ferry from Domestic Ferry Terminal in Yeonam Budu(Incheon Port), bus to beach 10min

Ferry Info: (032)887-2891~5

Abodes: There is camping on the beach or motels, I recommend camping.

Food: There are restaurants and supermarkets, again I recommend
bring your own food in a cooler and cooking on the beach.

To Do: Swimming, disk golf, camp fires, camp songs, camp sex

Notes: The ferry is usually really full this time of year so I would
reserve tickets now.

This Year:

1/ Master of the Universe "Cups" tourney with a bottle of Jack Daniels
for the winning team. Maybe 1,000KRW per person to enter. As usual
you MUST be carrying a drink at ALL times during play.

2/ The never ending "last hole leader chooses next hole" disk golf
tourney.

3/ The Century Club. 100 shots of beer in 100 minutes.

4/ The usual campfire.

I wanted to go to Japan but it's pretty expensive right now to get there and nobody wanted to spend the money. I will probably go to Seoul or the Andong Mask Fest.

I have to hang out with my wife's relatives and bow to the ghosts.

I plan to drink many bottles of Toad Juice.

Meeting future husband's relatives. Watching them mock, scorn, and chide me for failing to know how to prepare 1000s of dishes of sidedishes, washing dishes in the wrong way, and not giving my future mother-in-law enough money. Pretending not to understand 'cause my listening skills are better than speaking in Korean and while I will know what they're saying, I'm sure I'll be too nerve-wracked and embarassed to respond coherently. (Can anyone tell I'm nervous? I'm sure it won't be this bad, but I have nightmares...).

Wish I could spend it with my friend's family, as usual, who adopted me when I first came to the country and have treated me as a weird, white daughter ever since.

The wife and I are in the States for this one, so she can make her phone calls home and I get to not worry about it until next year.

It's not like the ancestors are going anywhere.
