Korean Sunrise



I went with Vicky and two of her friends to watch the sun rise on the west coast of South Korea. We were right at the beach on the Yellow Sea, at a famous spot to watch the sun come up.

Vicky said it's tradition for Korean people to watch the sunrise in the new year and pray for success for the year ahead.

There were hundreds of people at the beach to watch. The sunrise was beautiful, but I don't understand the tradition totally. I had fun with Vicky and her friends, though.

The downside was we left Incheon at 3:00 a.m. to drive to this place. I was dead tired and the cold didn't help. But it was another unique cultural experience and I'm glad I've done it at least one time.
