Alice: Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?

Cat: That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.

Alice: I don't much care where....

Cat: Then it doesn't matter which way you go.

Alice: ....so long as I get somewhere.

Cat: Oh, you're sure to do that, if you only walk long enough.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles

These next three postings visualize my wanderings through the course of my week long summer vacation. It started with a subway ride to Yongsan, a terminal of Korea's high-speed KTX train. Before arriving at Yongsan, I had intended to keep costs low and travel economically, and slowly. In about 5 minutes I had sold this idea out, and was on the next, fastest train out of Seoul, to Mokpo, in the south-west corner of the peninsula. Nearly the furthest I could get from the capital. I had decided months ago that it looked pretty cool on the map.

Mokpo - Monday

After a night of wandering along the beach and sharing charades and beers with a pair of locals, I decided that save some fun pictures, Mokpo probably held less interest for me than I had originally imagined. And so I decided by morning to head further south by ferry to Jeju Island, Korea's own subtropical Hawaii. Hopefully I'd be able to get a hold of Neal, a co-worker, who was visiting a friend and scoping jobs there.

Economy class

Much nicer views atop the deck. With a borrowed Steinbeck along for the ride and all the ocean scenery I could ask for, I was in Jeju before I knew it.
