Breakfast was big as usual!
Russian eating a cookie with chopsticks. Wonderful. Just wonderful. We walked a lot today. First we walked to the amazing volcanic rock beach. The rocks looked like they were blocks or man-made concrete! I’ve never seen anything natural that looked as elaborate and polished.

The water was beautiful blue/green
Don't they somehow look man-made!? Looks like a bee-hive.On the way to the Botanical Garden on foot, we saw a lot of interesting plants/objects.
Palm tree flower?
Tequila flower? Aloe flower?
This was viewed from a bridge on the way to the Botanical Garden. It looks like a miniture model...Then we decided to go see the waterfall and this turned out to be the highlight of today.
On the way to the waterfall, we saw a temple! *snap*
The sound and the view were magnificent, in addition to the spray from the waterfall being very cool.
A rainbow!Lunch was at a very American style restaurant. But before we ate, we played pool! The Russian Catherine turned out to be a very skillful player, so was the Price from North Korea.

Jin doing her Korean trickWe all ordered different foods, some ordered Lasagna, some ordered burgers, I ordered chicken curry. It was very surreal to hear Simple Plan or Fall Out Boy from the radio in Korea.
Very spicy (but good) chicken curry
Then we went to the Jung Mun beach, which is the best beach in Jeju according to my Jejuan roommate. The beach actually had sand, which was surprising to me because all the beaches we saw so far were made of volcanic rocks. It was the best beach weather with sun and heat! At this beach, we saw tourists from other countries such as China and Russia, but my shy Chinese and Russian friends refused to talk to them!
Best beach in Jeju?!
Garrett has to surf, he just has to.
Mermaidizing JH Dinner was Chinese food, but again the Chinese students told us that the food was “indigenized” to Korean style. I don’t know if it’s because we walked so much today, or because the restaurant was the best in town, but the food tasted fan-testicle! Almost all the plates were emptied, which we don’t see at every meal due to the tremendous volume of Korean style food.
Noodle, fried rice, orange chicken, yellow radish, kimchi, etc.
On the way back from the restaurant, we saw the Teddy Bear Museum. We didn't have time to go inside, but we managed to take a picture at the sign!
Teddy Bear Museum. How bizarre.
On the way back to our dorm. Dima is in the next world.At night, Jim presented us the final version of the model we will build. It incorporated all the models created by the students, plus his and the government officials’ inputs. It looked very curvey or round compared to most of the models students made, in addition to looking “buildable.” We only have three weeks to build this park so this is important.
