Sadness and Tears

We left Pohang with so many emotions and our ' picnic' packed by Shon's mum. A picnic lunch is used for the times that we would pack sandwiches etc.Traditionally Koreans would pack gimbap for train journeys etc. Kim in JeJu island did the same for our car ride. Gimbap is similar to sushi but made with a nicer seaweed wrap. It has a thinner and tastier outer covering. It then has a layer of rice then a variety of pickled radishes meat or salmon or tuna and other vegetables. We also had some at the train station for breakfast. Shons mum had also packed chopsticks, 10 boiled eggs with a dish of salt and drinks and juice. We were set for a week if we were trapped and couldn't get off the train. It was a wonderful parting gesture and one we will remember always. We were all sad to wave goodbye. Instructions again to look after Shon in Adelaide. We loved meeting them all and thank them for all their love imparted to us.
