Bus, bus, ferry, bus... no more cootie fuss?
That was my creative attempt at mimicking the "Circle, circle, dot, dot, now I have my cootie shot!" It's all I could think of to segue into a wonderfully entertaining blog entry about my trip to Muuido (Muui Island), a small island off the coast of Incheon.
From Yeonsu dong, our group of 14 weiguks (incorrect korean grammar, sorry), took the 303 Bus to Incheon Airport. At the airport, we waited almost an hour for the 222 Bus to the ferry; for future reference, the 222 comes on the :20 of every hour. Once at the ferry, for a mere 3,000w we bought round trip ferry tickets to Muuido!

The journey didn't stop there, however, after the ~2 minute ferry ride (I swear we could have swam), we boarded another bus to Hanagae beach- our final destination! We each paid another 2,000w to stay over night on the beach and then we set up shop- four tents right on the sand.

Probably one of the unique things about the trip was clam digging. Twice a day the tide goes out so far, took about 20 minutes of walking straight out before reaching the water's edge, that it's perfect for clam digging! I was new to this, having thought clam digging was going to the store for a pair of clam diggers.

The other amazing thing about the tide receding, was the chance to see some tiny ocean wildlife in action.
