3. Jeju Island Assignment: In your journal, write 10 observations about 5 places we visit.
Manjang gul cave

It was dark and gloomy inside the cave. The above and bottom were grumpy. At the above, the tiny bit of water came down. The tiny bit water was cold but clean, because it came from the underground cave. It was so dark and gloomy that you barley can see. But, there were a little bit of light bulbs shinning, only in the ground. Well, it was good that there was a light bulb in the ground, showing if there is a mud pool not, but above, you can't see anything. So you have to look at the above. And even though there are light in the ground, it doesn't mean you don't care where you walk. So it was tiring job to see where I'm walking on and see above. Anyway, besides those to little things, inside the cave was wonderful.

Observatory (서귀포천문과학문화관)

I saw all those types of stars in the monitor sky, it looked clear than outside, because there weren't any lights. Outside has lots of lights so, that was the problem. Anyway, I saw where the northern and southern stars are, the shapes you can make with stars, like rectangles. the dragon stars. There were also two films. One was all about the stars. The second, how there was the dragon star, and all of the planets in the universe. It was great to lye down peacefully, listening to these word that describes what is happening. Also, at hte monitor screen, it really sounded like I was actually there, I really felt like I was on dragon's back and was flying.

Submarine

We went inside to the sea about 40 meters! It looked so peaceful inside the sea. I saw all different sizes, colors and etc of fishes, grasses and etc! There was also this diver that welcomed as with holding on 'Welcome KIS'. Also, I thought all those fishes were already there, just swimming, but actually weren't. The diver give out a food, that's why fishes were there. Anyway, I saw a boat that was inside the sea. It seemed to me it was there a long time ago, and it was true. Actually the boat was for fishes. It was kind of like fishes apartment. It looked scary in the first time anyway. Then abruptly, I noticed my face, my clothes and the outside. At the outside part everthing looked far away the more we go inside, My lips, faces and my clothes were changing colors the more we go deeper. It was kind of cool. Also, when they lit up the light, I saw all different colors, and that color was how actually looked like. It was just that inside the sea, there were no lights.

Jeju Orange Plantation & Pick The Orange

I saw all of the oranges peel on the ground, saw bunch of oranges. Oranges that were rotten, not rotten, perfect and etc. Near those oranges, I saw mosquitoes, spiders, ladybugs and etc. I really felt like I was in a nature. There were bushes in the ground with leaves and were those little bugs inside them. It was kind of gross but after I tasted an orange, I forgot all those things. Because the orange was excellent! It had a sweet taste, if wasn't like the ones you usually buy. So I like it more.

Mother of the Sea, the Jeju Haenyeo (Women Divers) Museum (제주특별자치도해녀박물관)

I saw, all different aspects of traditional Jeju fishing village in different seasons that had a bultuck, dodaebul, bangsatap and wondam. It was all made out a clay made picture inside a box. There were others like Haenyeo's house, fishing village, the Myth of Yeongdeung Halmang, Jeju customs of all of the seasons, food, clothing, half farming and half fishing and last of all, Jeju's sea. There was also a Haenyeo's workplace, there were diving tools, there costumes, like they where goggles and etc, statues of Haenyeo and pictures of Haenyeo. There was an area of sea, there was a boat, faces of Haenyeo, clothes they wore, catching anchovies and more!

Hello, I'm Tao, I'm your son. I searched everywhere for you, but I couldn't find you so I end up writing this letter to you. I heard that you left. Are you really fine? Are you safe where you are? I always daydream about you, I don't know how you look like, but I always imagine. Anyway, I am really good at drawing. Well, I'm bad at shape and etc, but I can draw allot of animals. Well, I know that I'm not one of the Chosen Ones, but still, I love to draw. And I promise if you come visit my cave, I will show you my excellent drawings. I miss you. Please, if you can visit or reply.

Sincerely, Tao, (your son) **

How is my day going?? It's going fine but then my eye is keep on bleeding, and red tears come out when I cry! And it is just so horrible just imagining my eye! When I blink it is just TOO painful!!! When I sleep it is still painful. I feel miserable in my left eye all the times...


 * Classwork September 8th**:
 * 1. In your journal: If you were Tao, how would you feel spending that first night alone in your new cave?

I will feel uncomfortable sleeping inside a place that I had never ever slept before. And since the cave is cold and big, I think I would be very lonely. Furthermore, I think sleeping in a cave with no door will be very dangerous! Because what if a bear come inside the cave and eat me?? Anyway, it think that if I had slept for 5 nights in the cave, and I got kind of used to it, I think it will be fine. **

1. Journal Entry: If you lived in the same clan as Tao, what would a typical day be like for you? You may want to use your book for some ideas.
 * Classwork September 4th:**

If i lived with with Tao and his families, my day will be very tired. Because, you always have to hunt and you it's dangerous. Also i think that I can't also be the Chosen One. So I think that my day with Tao will be very uncomfortable. Also, I think that it will be very typical. It's really wild too so I think it's hard to survive.

If i had a super power, I wish I had a super eye power. Like I wished that with my two eyes i can see things through them like if there was a building, I wished I can see what was happening. Also, I wish I can see everywhere like even from meters away from me. Like for example, Korea to South Africa. I think with this super power, I can help the world. I can try to look everywhere in the world and see if there is a bad guy. And if I see the bad guy, I can tell all of the police and they can go and get the bad guy.

 * August 25, 2009**

I woke up late in the morning, because my clock didn't ring. It fell down somehow, and it was broken. I was panicking because I might be late to school and I had no excuses to my brother and my mom and it was like 7:20. Usually, I got on my mom's car at 7 o'clock. So I was rushing into my mom's car and saw that my brother and my mom was waiting for me. When I got on the car, I felt ashamed and my brother and my mom was staring at me, so I made a note that today I will buy a new clock and tomorrow I will be on mom's car at 7 o'clock.
