Tea and Trainwrecks.

When you're not feeling your best a little green tea goes a long way, right? If that's the case why not go to a tea field? That's exactly what we did. At 8:30 on Saturday morning (I know, right?) we headed off to Boseong county which is famous for its nok cha or green tea. The tea fields were beautiful. I had imagined a big field but with some tea hedges. Wrong. There were hedges but they were going all the way up these huge hills. Mountains by Rhode Island standards. Before we started our climb we stopped in a little cafe at the bottom for some fresh from the source tea. The next hour or so was spent climbing up the hill, lurking in the tea bushes, and taking pictures. This time in Korea the leaves are turning so it was really nice to see the reds and yellows surrounding twisting rows of green. After the treacherous climb down the hill we had some awesome green tea ice cream (despite the fact that it was 50 degrees out). For lunch we went to a nearby town and had lunch at a pork place where the pigs were fed local green tea leaves.

Saturday night was an 80's party at LSG. 80's is probably my least favorite party theme. I have no idea what a good 80's costume is (beyond some movie characters). Furthermore, girls at an 80's party look like trainwrecks. I don't know how I was conceived in the 80's if everyone looked the way they do at an 80's party. Too bad Yeosu doesn't have a Savers I can go to for some cheap old clothes. Instead, I went as Alvin. From Alvin and the Chipmunks. Worked for me.
