This last Monday, October 3rd, was Foundation Day which I think is like Korea's Columbus Day, so no school. Wahoo! I celebrated by going on a picnic.
Me, Andrew and Zaaid went to a neighboring town that's just about a 30 minute drive through the mountains (sorry I can't remember the name of the town). We met Bronnie (girl from Australia) and Johanna (girl from Manitoba) and we got our picnic supplies and walked towards the river. Our picnic food consisted of kimbap, which is very similar to sushi, but it's ingredients usually stay the same with ham, egg, and vegetables, and we also had a Korean version of Hawaiian pizza. The Korean version had ham, pineapple, peaches and/or mango, corn and cherries.

Just down the spot from where we were picnicing there was a group of Korean men who were doing the same, and they were catching their own fish and frying them on the spot. The came over and offered us an offering of their fish and super spicy peppers, even though they told us they weren't.

After we gorged ourselves, we napped in the sun. It was quite the relaxing Foundation Day. I don't know if there are actual celebrations of the day, but there definitely weren't any in Inje County.
