Andong

We are in Andong this morning; last night we stayed in the "Hotel California". It is the most western of the places we have stayed so far. I like that most places have wood floors; but all rooms also have an entry way and removing shoes is required. The floors are heated, though. Quite nice. This room includes a computer, which I am currently using.

Yesterday we took a bus out to a rustic folk village where they still have thatched roofs but now also have paved cement streets. One of the cleanest places we have been. We walked around the market area last night some and got a couple little things, including a fancy package of tissues. Today, the plan is to head out to the Soju museum (the closest we have found to a brewery tour so far) to check out the Soju production process and probably buy some high octane Soju. Then it's a train and bus to Samcheok as we keep moving. The next two places are on the east coast, but I don't see myself doing any swimming... It is getting colder, the more we head north.

Cheers.
