Last Weekend: Cave, Christa’s B-day, beach
This past Saturday, Kiran, Christa, Tom, and I took a trip to Samcheok to see the Hwanseononggul Cave, which is one of the largest caves in Asia. I’ve been to a cave in Jeju-do, and although that cave had better stalactites and stalagmites, this one was much bigger. There were huge caverns lit with yellow and green ropes of light, which took an hour and ten minutes to navigate. It’s worth a trip out to see, but the bus schedule to the caves was not the most convenient. From the Samcheok bus terminal, the bus to the cave leaves at 6:10, 8:20, 10:20, 2:40, and 5:20. We arrived at 11:45, waited around for an hour, until we were informed of the correct schedule. So, instead of taking the 2000 won bus, we split the cost of a 30 minute, 24,000 won ($18.50) taxi ride.
