Today I went to Gwangju, well off the tourist route. But it is a great jumping point to other
sights in the province. That is if you
can find a place to stay. Namdo Guesthouse is an impossible hostel to find.
Not its location but the hostel itself.
But like the previous place it was well worth finding. Mr Park is a great host and very
sociable. He had opened the hostel that
summer and took it upon himself to make sure all his guest are happy and
entertained, especially in the evenings.
Sorry to say but on Korea’s Independence Day (of Japan) I
spoke a lot of Japanese. At the same
time I checked in to Namdo Guesthouse so did XXX. She is a uni student doing her masters in archaeology. Unlike most Koreans she couldn't speak much
English. But she did speak perfect
Japanese. Pera–pera to say the least. We decided to go to the Gwangju National Museum together
and so chatted mostly in Japanese.
