Herb Hillz / Wii at Julians

Saturday morning Cam, Shelley and I grabbed lunch downtown and headed to Herb Hillz to do the treetop obstacle course.  On the way Shelley and I bought couples Pacman jumpers.  Sods law - because its white - there was soon coffee on it.  Will have to make a plan to wear them out at the same time!


Mark met us at Herb Hillz (its South Daegu in the middle of nowhere).  Managed to get a free bumper cars ride -strangely Koreans will drive round actively avoiding hitting anyway else!  For the course you get a safety harness, gloves and a helmet and a couple minutes training near the ground (only the odd word in English).  Essentially you have 2 clips and a zipline hook and you need to have at least one attached at all times.  Charles headed first, followed by me, then Shelley, Mark and a few other foreigners. Shelly'd done it before and got us to do the less difficult (but more fun) course.


It started off with a big rope net, a few big long zip lines, a strange skateboard type thing that moved when you tried to stand on it (Shelley had a lot of problems with that) as well as a few more things.  I guess it took about an hour in all.  Only Charles and I brought our phones so sadly (or luckily) there aren't really any with me in but you get the idea.  Here are the videos: Cam one, two  and three, Jono one, Shelley one and two, Mark one, Ropebridge and Cancan.  A few of the zip lines you ended up not reaching the end and had to pull yourself along whilst others you were still going a decent speed when you slammed into the pad on the other side (Shelly 2)!

Triplets!

Saturday night we went into downtown Daegu.  Could've honestly done with a nap before.  Met/ bumped into loads of people and got a cab back with Sophie.  A certain gentleman named C stayed out all night, seeing someone he's seen before (and apparently climbed out a window in the morning to escape awkward questions..)

Sunday I used up the last of the think bacon I got from Homeplus to make giant bacon french toast sandwiches.  In the evening we headed to 율하 and met Shelley and Julian at Lotte World.  Got some food, booze and Mario Cart for the Wii and went to Julians.  Hilarity ensued - see videos for examples.  It seems I suck at most games, but do look ridiculously funny doing it.  Made up an character on the Wii for me which turned out like this:


It had honestly started seriously, but didn't stay that way for long!  Anyway, got my Korean homework to do (back doing classes 2 days a week at the YMCA).  I'm trying to start letter writing again, so if you fancy a catch up on amazing Korean paper leave your address here, facebook or email it to me.
