Well. Okay. This past weekend rekindled my love for Korea. I may never leave. First off, Anna's friend Katie came to visit from Boston this week, and I convinced them to come on a trip with me to the wayyyyyy southern tip of korea. It was the twice a year phenomenon known as the Moses Miracle. Part of the sea, twice a year, literally separates in half, and you are able to walk across it.
