Camping was entirely miserable. We did an overnight this past weekend to an island an hour and a half off of Incheon and were greeted by never-ending rain, wind and cold. Let me illustrate how bad it was:
You know those dreams where you end up having a test you didn't prepare for, a paper due or lost a large sum of money and/or possessions but you wake up elated that none of this actually happened? Ok, Good..
I dreamt that night on Deokjeok Island that I was back in Incheon and had my bag stolen. In it were my Ray-Bans, passport, books, journal & health insurance. I woke up only mildly relieved because even though I had my bag, the sobering reality set in that I was still stuck on that island. That means I almost would have surrendered my most valuable possessions to get home.
My friend Tony from Wisconsin upon our return:
"I am going to kiss the ground in Incheon and never leave 'til my contract's up."
Hopefully I can plan a return trip soon when the weather is improved.
