Rafting Trip

I went rafting this past weekend with 12 people from my school (6 Koreans and 6 foreigners). Despite a string of bad luck, we had a blast! The bad luck:
1) We took 3 cars. On the way to pick us up, one of the drivers got into a small fender-bender. Although it wasn't serious, the person she hit decided to go to the hospital and milk it for everything it was worth. She was on the phone with her insurance company most of the day Saturday.
2) We had a campfire Saturday night. Thomas decided to take some logs that were evidently from a special garden that the townspeople had constructed/planted. We didn't know. This turned into a big ordeal when the owner of the pension we stayed in yelled at our group in Korean for 30 minutes.
3) One of the guys in our group broke his toe on one of the rocks in the river.
4) A normally 3 hour car ride on the way home turned into an 8 hour ordeal on the way home because one of the car's radiators overheated (and cracked) so we had to get it towed. Then we were forced to shove 12 grown people into 2 small hyundai's. After doing that the traffic jam got so bad that it took us 2 HOURS to drive 11 kilometers. That's like 7 miles. I'm not exaggerating.

But REALLY, REALLY, it was still fun. Hard to believe but the people I went with are so fun and positive that we turned all of those situations into a good time (even, well, especially being crammed into the backseat of a car for 5 hours).
Rafting was awesome. The river's water level was pretty low, so it wasn't a tough course, but it was great. I had never gone rafting before. Each of our boats had a guide so that was pretty helpful. We also got to swim in the river on both Saturday and Sunday. The weather was absolutely perfect, sunny and about 80 degrees. It was so beautiful where we were, about 3 hours out of Seoul. It was so green and mountainous. It was wonderful to get out of the city, even though traffic going back in SUCKED. I really have never seen anything like it.
Here are some pictures. Unfortunately, my camera isn't waterproof so I wasn't able to take it on the raft. One of the guys had one so when I get those pics I'll post them.
