M’s friend who is the manager at T.G.I. Friday’s has offered us discount coupons to the National Geographic Exhibition in Jeonju this weekend. Always keen for an excursion, we agree to go to Jeonju for lunch and then the exhibition. Since I have to work on the writing textbook for school this weekend, I can’t afford to spend an entire day in Jeonju but an afternoon’s respite is certainly appreciated.
We head straight to T.G.I. Friday’s where we’re faced with difficult decisions regarding which of the restaurant’s mouth-watering meals to order. On our way out, we see M’s friend who greets us and fetches the coupons for us and we’re soon on our way to the Sori Arts Centre for the exhibition.
Let's Exhibit!
The photos at the exhibition are spectacular and some of the views are simply breathtaking. Unfortunately, the audio commentary is only available in Korean as are the explanations of each photo displayed beside the prints. This puts a definite damper on our tour as we like to know more about what we are looking at. In addition, the exhibition venue is unbearably hot on the second floor and we find ourselves rushing slightly in order to get back out into the cool air. Before we know it, we’re on our way back to the intercity bus terminal and back to Gunsan, which means back to working on the textbook for me. Since two of my co-teachers will be away for the entire summer vacation, the book has to be finished by this coming Wednesday so I already know that I’ll be spending the whole of tomorrow working on the editing and formatting of the book.
