My worthwhile plan for a long weekend


I heard that the Catholic University of Korea was founded in 1855. Then it is the 157th School anniversary this year. Luckily, this years School Anniversary fell on a Friday! So it is a long weekend for most of us. What do you usually do during long weekends like this?

During long weekends like this, I plan to take a trip. I want to take a trip to the city Jung-sun in Kang-won province.

I want to ride a rail-bike in Jung-sun. In the past, Jung-sun was famous for its coal mine. So there are many rails that were used to carry mineral resources dug in mines. The rails are not used as their original object, but they are used as a tourists attraction today. It is similar to a wagon, but it works with pedals. I want to ride it and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Jung-sun.

The Temptation of Hemibarbusmylodon, a fast-food restaurant


There are also special food cafes in Jung-sun. One is The Temptation of Hemibarbusmylodon. It is a fast-food restaurant, and it looks like a fish (Hemibarbusmylodon) laying some eggs. The other restaurant is The Dream of Grasshopper. It consists of two female grasshoppers and male grasshoppers. On the first floor people can eat meals, and on the second floor they can drink some coffee.

I heard that there is a Train-pension in Jung-sun. That is a pension that is made with a train which does not run anymore. I would like to stay there for one night. But if the Train-pension is not available, then I want to stay in the capsule house for one night instead of staying in the Train-pension. Literally, the whole shape of the house is a capsule! It looks really cozy and comfortable. It is smaller than the Train-pension, but I think it has advantages in its own way.

Usually, I have no time to take even a short trip. So I would like to get as much out of my everyday life and take a trip to get out of our campus specially during long weekends when we have a lot of time..
