I started off by having snacks and drink with one of the best classes I've ever taught on Friday afternoon. Myself, a few of the other teachers, and 10 of the students got together and had a lovely time at a bar across the street from work. Awesome students, I had so much fun teaching them!
Then... on Sunday it was time for paragliding! Jon and Brian, who I work with, came with me on the trip and we had a blast! The group was awesome, our guide was a lovely guy, and the whole thing was a lot of fun.

First, we had to travel for nearly three hours in the van to get to the mountain, but conversation was easy and fun, so it didn't seem to take too long. We rode up to the top of the mountain in a little truck - which was pretty hairy because it was very high and very steep! We made it to the top, had some brief training (don't fall over, don't sit down, and when the man says run, run), and then flew! It was only scary while I waited to take off, but the actual gliding was peaceful and beautiful.
After we'd all had our glide, we went to a big cave and walked through underground tunnels, rivers, and waterfalls.

It was beautiful and the cooler temperature was lovely. However, when we came back up and out, the air felt to hot and wet that Brian asked if we could go swimming. Turns out we could, in a nearby river! So, much splashing and screaming later, we were all cooled down.
We got changed in the van and then set off home. After stopping on the way for dinner, it turns out the back of the van turned into a big padded bed area, so we all chilled out in there until we were back in Seoul.
A quick train and bus ride later, I was back home after an awesome day!
