Mara-do

Mara-do is an island south of Jeju, and Korea's southernmost territory. I went there on Sunday with some co-workers. I would have loved to have stayed for the whole day, but one ferry was broken, and another was canceled due to high seas, so we had an hour and half to see everything Mara-do had to offer. Even though you can walk around the island in 45 minutes, most Koreans chose to see the island from the comfort of an enclosed golf cart with opaque windows. Whatever, Koreans are known for their strange decisions.
For such a small place, with a permanent population of 40, there was an unusually high number of holy houses. Three churches and a Buddhist temple I think. There was also a baffling number of Jajangmyun restaurants. Jajangmyun is a mess of noodles in greasy brown sauce. I didn't want any, yet there were 5 identical little restaurants dishing it out.
Marado is windy and grassy. We plan to go back in the summer to drink, fish, camp, and maybe look for a bird or two. I'm too tired to be funny these days.
