Miryang 0424 thru 0426

After Jinhae we were off to Miryang, location of the renowned award-winning Korean film "Secret Sunshine." Miryang is famous for its produce, notably delightfully sweet strawberries and robustly flavored watermelons.

Our first outing with the Miryang club was for a lunch of traditional Korean dishes complete with Ed's favorites, soju and maekju.







In Miryang we were happy to participate in some hands-on activities: we each made a piece of pottery and helped make a type of rice snack.

One of our Rotarian hosts kept us laughing with his random outbursts from the "clay scene" from the movie "Ghost," Righteous Brothers' background music included (we provided backup vocals while he took the lead):



Some of the folks in Miryang were great, a couple were not so great, but we made it through the tough stuff together.

On to the final leg of the trip: Ulsan!!!
