The windows in our apartment are all wide open and the beautiful, fragrant Jeju air is moving from one end to the other calmly, with ease. Its very quiet in Jeju tonight. The wind is almost non-existant. The ocean looks like glass, except for the slight movement around the volcanic rock shoreline that juts out into the darkness.
On the horizon, there are bright, white lights. They flicker subtly, and light up the few clouds above them.
Its an incredible, warm, stimulating night in Jeju. Its making all of my senses go wild. I love it. And its a far-cry from the icy-cold winter that we experienced a few months ago.
Sarah’s making bread for the foreigner farmer market, which our friend Shay organized for this Sunday. I’m sitting at my desk, looking out the window in front of me, and to my right, the window that looks out over the sea. Literally, all I can smell is the fresh, blossoming flowers and plants that are becoming more green and more alive with every passing day. It really is incredible.
This week, I was at Iho Beach twice helping set up courts and tighten nets for the upcoming Jeju Furey Beach Volleyball tournament that Dan Nabben organizes. We have 9 courts up, and I think people are at the beach again tonight and tomorrow, finishing it off. I can’t wait to play in the tournament. Earlier this week, after we finished working for the night, myself and five other guys played some 3-on-3 beach volleyball until 1am and it was perfect – a great temperature, and a lot of fun.
Tomorrow we are heading to Marado with our friend Kaitlyn (and Sarah’s old co-teacher from Mulme). Marado is the most Southern point of South Korea. We’ll pick her up in the morning and drive to take a ferry across to the island. Can’t wait!
Wherever you are, and whatever you are up to, I hope you have a great day today!
Sending loads of love.
