We got the day off of work/training, so during the morning
two of my suitemates and I headed over to Paris Baguette to get some pastries. On
the way, we walked by some people and they were just like "hi!" because
we were Americans. Even though I haven't been able to talk, I've tried to at
least greet others so as to not seem rude. When I tried to say 'hi' back
though, no sound came out of my mouth. I tried several times and nothing. It
really freaked me out to not have the ability to speak at all. But after a minute,
I just realized there was no reason to freak out about it and I should just
stay quiet for the time being so as to not strain my voice. It was just a
really weird experience though. In the afternoon a large group of us walked to
Odong Island (오동도), which was really cool. The island can easily be seen from
our dorms, so it didn't take that long to get to it. It was probably like a
20-30 minute walk.
The island, besides being gorgeous, was also really entertaining
because there were caterpillars everywhere. It was insane. They were hanging on
strands from trees, waving in the wind, on the ground cinching across the path,
on all the railings. You couldn't turn around without seeing one...or five. All
in all between walking to, around, and back from the island, we were on our
feet for four hours. We grabbed pizza as dinner back at Expo Town, which wasn't
really like American pizza. It didn't have as many spices and tasted sweeter,
although those two are probably related. Anyway, after that we went and saw
Avengers, which was better than I had expected.
