Last week I had the good fortune of venturing to the island of Nedo off the southern tip of Geoje island (where I live). This took place on Friday, the last day of school for the students before their summer vacation. However, there are many students at school this week who either want to work on various subjects, or more than likely were forced by their parents to take classes over the summer since they are offered by the school.
Before our trip to Nedo, the school had their closing ceremonies for the summer before lunch. This was a half day for students and teachers as well. After all the students were gone and the school was cleaned, we gathered our things and headed to Gujora, the town were we were to catch out boat to Nedo. Before we caught our boat we indulged in a sort of raw fish cold soup. I have had raw fish before, but never with water, ice cubes, vegetables all mixed with a spicy sauce. I was not overly impressed but I supposed it suited the occasion since it was a scorthing day out. We then headed to our boat and had a nice little boat ride to Nedo where I meet another foreign teacher who was also on a trip with his school from Busan. (the second largest city in Korea).
The waters around Nedo seemed so fresh and clean. There was a sense of purity in the air! The beauty of the island was stunning. From Nedo I could see so many other little islands in the near vacinity. There were walking trails that we hiked which took us through the thick canopies of the island. Once we reached the other side of the island, we were treated with a display of dolphins feeding at the bottom of the cliff from where we were standing. There was about 10-12 dolphins in a sort of circle. I could ony think that it was a sort of fishing tactic that they use to group the fish into a little area and then capture them. The conditions were right and the day was a success! The beauty of nature and life can be an amazing thing.

Sounds like a great adventure!
