ICE FISHING

This weekend we had signed up for an ice fishing adventure with adventure Korea. This is exactly what I got, an adventure... We drove on a bus up north until we were 20 min form the DMZ. We spent the first part of the day ice fishing on a lake with hundreds of other Koreans hoping to be the one to catch the 3 fish that might have been in the river.. i didn't catch any... Then we did whey call bare hands fishing. When we signed up for this we assumed it was when we stick our hands in the hole to get a fish.... Boy were we wrong, it involved getting into shorts and a T shirt and jumping into a man made pool that was full of water pumped straight from the frozen lake and stocked with fish. WTF.... The only thing I caught was pneumonia...

After a while longer we took the 30 min bus ride to our lodge that took 3.5 hours! the we were informed that it was a 5 min walk..it was actually a 15 walk, uphill! But it was worth it the accommodations were nice, we had cabins of 10 which worked out since there was 10 of us there together. We had a lovely pig roast followed by some drinks (Carlo Rossi for me and Dan) by a campfire. We retied to our room early since it was a long day and we had to get up early the next day) We fell asleep quickly, myself and Martha on the bed, Others on the floor of the bedroom and the rest on the floor of the living room. brooks and George the only two guys in our cabin had stayed out on an adventure. Two of us were awoken 1amish to the snoring of a certain individual...when looking around to see who it was they had to kick they were surprised to find an older Korean gentleman with his pants around his ankles..... Now...lets just say they were a little surprised.....

What would you do? Of course they screamed at him to leave.. maybe he would have had he understood the language. Lyndsay showed her dangerous face as my kids would say. And let me tell you if I'm ever in a fight I'm gonna make sure shes on my side! The Korean mad was found sleeping next to Krista, also covered in black soot 9assuming form the campfire). we were disgusted and appalled by the situation and planned to tell the adventure Korea people about it in the morning. i forgot to mention Kristin, she was a girl who was on the trip alone, a girl who had no one to stay with so we invited her into our cabin to sleep... She did not com home with us, she came home later. We didn't make the connection until the morning when we realized she wasn't wearing pants, and she was also covered in black soot.. SHE SLEPT WITH THE KOREAN MAN AMONGST ALL OUR FRIENDS WHOM SHE DIDN'T KNOW.... or did something sexual with him(lets not assume...) And when all this was going on, the screaming the terror and the tears she did not speak up, she let the poor man take all the crap we gave him, when really he didn't do anything more wrong than she did...dirty dirty girl.. we were not happy!
But I guess its a story to tell. After an awesome trip we took a short bus ride home and all was good. Exhausted and not ready to go back to intensives on Monday. But its ok cause today was the hump day of intensives. For those who don't know this month I am teaching 3 3 hr classes a day. 11 hour work days. They are starting to get to me, but the money is the light at the end of the tunnel!!!
