After our walking meditation with the monk, we slept a little, then had breakfast, then got packed up. It was a bit confusing after that. I think we were supposed to stay longer and have more "experiences" at the temple, but we think that we probably got kicked out. For one, a person from our group got injured (walking around the temple in the dark after drinking soju probably isn't the best idea :-)), and honestly our group just wasn't taking the experience very seriously. So we left the temple around 9 am, and went to the Haenam Cable Car. We got in and rode up to the top of the mountain. It was sooo lush and green. Then at the top, there was a long staircase we climbed to go even further. The view from the top was amazing - lush green mountains misty and hazy.
After that, we took a long bus ride back into Mokpo, and ate at the vegetarian restaurant. Then we stopped at Lotte Mart (kind of like a Wal-Mart) and had some time to shop! I got some nail polish remover and this cool facial mask. Then we took the bus back to Damyang.
When we got back, Principal Park had arranged for this amazing meal for us in the cafeteria. It was the special barbecued pork, but there were plenty of vegetables and rice for me. And beer! Woo! We got to eat with the new Discipline and Nurse teachers, and the Head Teacher, Silverstone. That is his understanding of Sylvester Stalone, I think :-) We had a great time, and got pretty talkative because of the Hite.
