Listen to this man. It's a loving hike down and back up, and then it's like 170cm high so if you are tall at all you're going to die. I went 10 meters in and said gently caress it and went back up. Like a 200m climb back up or some poo poo like that. My friends who DID go all the way in said it wasn't worth it.

It's literally just some rocks with 900000 Chinese tourists shoving everyone and Koreans yelling at you not to take pictures. Waste of time.

I went all the way in and all I got was a headache. Running back up is fun though.

Speaking of Shin Saimdang, every time I look at 50,000 Won note, I always wonder who the gently caress decided to put that woman there. But then I never had 50,000 Won note so all's well.

I hate those 50,000 bills. The only things a 50s good for is buying drugs and it's not like that comes up a lot in Korea. I just wish there was something in between the 10 and 50. Like, why the hell not?

What islands are good to go to here? Preferably on the South or East coast. Me and ~my girlfriend~ are trying to figure out what to do with our abundant scumbag public school summer vacation and neither of us really has the bread for a trip abroad. I'm not a big beach person but I'd like to have a go on a jet ski or whatever. Other than that somewhere with at least one good bar would be great. I've been to Deokjokdo and while it was nice I can't imagine spending longer than a long weekend there. Is there a good island hopping route you can take anywhere?

I get most of mine in 50s. Use it for budgeting, I stick a 50 in my wallet Sunday and that's my cash for the week. I only get a small stack of 10s for runs to the street market.

You can get to Bigeumdo, which has a romantic heart-shaped beach with luminous plankton,from mokpo. We camped there and one korean tour group came for five mins and left (though this was in may). There are a couple other islands on the same ferry route, and you can also get to jeju from mokpo. Alternatively, just go to jeju.

I used to work in currency exchange shop owned by my aunt in Myungdong and tourists preferred Sejong because it is just easier to pay with. (Unless they decided to exchange something like $1000 or something similar.) Koreans often joke that the higher ups pushed for 50,000 Won note so they can transfer their bribe money lot easier. Probably true.

For a while I thought Shin Saimdang was the princess that was raped and murdered by the Japanese, because I figure it would have been Korean style to do some kind of passive aggressive poo poo like that, but nope, just an artist from 500 years ago.

She came to existence! How dare she! Let's just say she's like role model wife of Confucianism. And having such figure as a representitive of 50,000 Won note is just not right in the modern society of equality. There are other great national heroes, the ones who fought and died for freedom against Japanese oppression, and yet she was chosen over them? I can never understand what the gently caress they were thinking.

They should have just stuck with Sejong there's no one good for a note after him. Or gone back even further in time and used Tangun or something.

Do you guys remember the controversy when they were going to put Kim Gu on the 50 000 won note? It caused an uproar with people saying he was a murderer because he killed a Japanese cop (in all fairness it was apparently in cold blood, but it was during the Imperial Era). The guy was the president of the provisional government of Korea during the war and declared war on Japan and Germany himself. It was also probably a factor that he looks sort of like Bugs Bunny dressed up as an Asian caricature.

I wasn't here for that but holy poo poo are you right about the picture. There's no sort of, that is 100% the real life version of a Japanese guy in a WW2 Bugs Bunny cartoon. E: Whoa he also had a bitchin' mustache as a young man too.  Needs to be flying a biplane yelling about that damned Red Baron.

But the berries! Gotta pick them all. As for Kim Gu and freedom fighters, the 'New right' organizations (known for Japan sympathizing and such) call them terrorists because they killed or bombed Japanese soldiers and figureheads during the Japanese oppression.

Hey GF and Kant, if you guys want some free money this is a thing: https://www.facebook.com/events/529336037101598/ As far as I can tell the only thing standing between you and victory is a depth of field blur.

I'm happy to report for my birthday today  I became An Official Korean by receiving a disgusting and overpriced Paris Baguette cake served on top of its own box (i.e. trash) from my boss and coworkers. All I need now is a dojang and I'll be set to co-sign for your loan to buy furniture for your new apartment.

Congratulations. Party on the weekend? Paris Baguette is cheap and often disgusting but Paris Croissant is expensive but ok. They're under same company though. Still, cakes are ridiculously expensive in Korea while barely edible. There are some bakeries that make good cakes though.
