Better idea for an island. If you want a better island experience, I recommend Bogil-do. It is more of what you said you are looking for (although the pebble beach there leaves some to be desired). There is even a decent pizza place on the island.
Also, since it is not far from the peninsula, you can easily do it in one day if you get there in the morning and come back late afternoon. Otherwise, there is a good hotel on the island that charges about 30,000 won per room.
In fact, there are many islands off the south coast that have good beaches, rustic, and relaxing.
Lucky in China Dear Luisa,
What I like about this blog is that I feel that I'm going on the trip with you. PLUS, in seeing China through your viewpoint (and your pictures), I get the added benefit of a little history, a little commentary and a good sense of humor. Though China may have lucky numbers, my sense is that you are the type of person that creates their own luck! Goodbye Lucky Luisa--Have fun on your travels....I can't wait for the next installment.
Cheers,
Chicago Gal
Fabulous experiences!! Wow!! So great~ thank you for see your pictures, writting.
You have lots of great time in China. I envy you 'cause I don't have any chances to travel other countries so far...
I wish you get to good experience so much~~
Gorgeous Thailand Luisa,
What a fabulous travelogue--just reading it made me feel like I had been on a vacation! The pictures added to the story. My favorites, you perched on the long boat...and of course the beaches, it's easy to feel like you're there. Though I had not thought of Thailand before as a destination for a vacation, after reading your blog I'm reconsidering--it looks like the perfect place for adventure and relaxation. Thanks for sharing! I can't wait until your next story,
Cheers,
A fan

chicken
Just Ducky Hi Luisa, We really enjoy reading your blog. I've shown Lawson where you are. I hope allis well with you during the holidays. Keep it up, Love the Lacombas
dok-do-nun woori tahng! Dokdo, peppero (Pocky and Peppero are made by the same company "Lotte"- I think the owner is Korean-Japanese), Wonder Girls....You are more Korean than I am. Have fun!
sharing your trauma I remember eating very different tasting chicken when I was in 5th grade in Korea. After I was done eating, my little brother told me what I just had was duck instead of chicken. My utmost respect for you! But then, it's all cutural, I guess. I was so shocked when I came to US in 1991 and found out that people were eating Turkey. But then I love Turkey. Now that can pass as chicken, I think.
... I don't have duck trauma but I don't like duck meat, either. They also tell me it's good for my health (same thing among us Koreans, you know), but I always answer them that they must take my peace of mind (=mental health) into account, too. So if I must go to a duck restaurant for some reason I stick with soju and "service" cold noodles while giving fishy looks to those duck lovers around me. ^^
p.s. Beijing Duck, on the other hand... During the recent Olympics, it was reported that athletes from all around the world consumed literally tons of it in the Olympic village cafeterias. I might try it some day.
I've got wanderlust...badly! I'm living and teaching in S. Korea and am already planning many trips, mostly throughout Asia, during the next year.... full info
