The perfect beach weekend, right at home

By Naomi Alyssa on 27 September, 2011 in Asia, Korea


Sometimes, you need the plane ticket.


Sometimes, you need the novelty of the foreign.


But sometimes, all you need is a group of friends, a pension on the beach, perfect weather and a birthday to celebrate. And if you add in cartwheel races, a hot grill and s’mores to go, fireworks and sparklers, drum circles and foreigners and impromptu jam sessions, Korean wrestling matches and a million and one (at least attempted) jumping photos in front of a perfect sunset, you can live vibrantly, live powerfully, and live laughing so hard you wake up sore, right in your very own backyard.

      It sounds bad, but I could seriously watch the birthday girl (closest to the camera) eat it at the end of that .gif for HOURS ;)

    This post makes me so nostalgic for the year I spent living on a little island in Jeollanamdo. Great place.
