Earlier this month, we bused ourselves over to the east side of Korea to see what it was like on the other part of the (penis)ula. Once we arrived, 6 hours after we left, we met up with our friends Paul and Cecil. They told us about a famous male inspired park. We looked at them with astonishment and yelled, "Poppy-cock!" After a quick bite to eat, we took a taxi to the peni-rific park situated right on the edge of a beautiful little fishing village. As we strolled the man-scaped pathways, we could hear the roar of the ocean crashing against the shore and the cries of the virgin spirit who has haunted the fisherman for centuries.
As legend goes, there was once a beautiful virgin who's fiancé took her to a rock in the ocean and told to wait, for he would soon return. However, with his failure to return, the love struck girl was swept out to sea with the rising tide never to be seen again. From that day on, the village was plagued with poor catches and swore that it was the ghost of the virgin causing their misfortune. In order to satisfy the thirsty ghost, the villagers "erected" larger than life penises, and with them the fish returned.
We figured the next logical place to go after the penis park was a giant cave nestled atop a sound-of-music-esque mountain which we had to hike up to get to. To our surprise the cave was large enough to fit a small town in. We spent three hours exploring all it's nooks and crannies and even got absolved of all our sins along the way. Not bad for a $3 entrance fee.
