"Dawling, fancy another sailing trip?"
Every year, SFS has a fundraiser for a TB center in North Korea. All 4 divisions of our school participate in the fundraising. There are bakes sales, competitions, classes and other events that take place in order to raise money for this important cause. Read more about Dongdaewon from last year's post.
One of the fundraisers is an auction where you can bid on a few things including artwork, pictures and even a sailing trip. The sailing trip takes place on the Han river (click here to find out more about the Han river). This is where MELK comes in. We each took turns bidding on this sailing trip and after a couple of weeks of trying to outbid others, we won--all for a good cause, of course.
Sailing Trip # 1
We attempted to go sailing on April 22nd, but unfortunately the weather didn't want to cooperate. We had a lovely lunch (complete with wine and champagne) and still went out on the boat. Despite the weather, we still had a good time with our matchy-matchy outfits (thanks, Mate), talking inside the boat, and wearing the 'Aquaholic' hats and shirts that Dilip, the owner, gave us.

Sailing Trip # 2
Since we had crappy weather the first time around, Dilip offered to take us out again. So Sunday, May 6th, the girls took their scooters on a 'Hooters on Scooters' trip to North Korea with some other SFSers while I slept in. (Have I mentioned that scooters are a big deal here? Everyone --except me because I'm too chicken-- has a scooter!). Around noon we headed back to the Han river for sailing trip #2. This time around the weather was gorgeous. We had a nice lunch, sailed for a few hours and then went out on Dilip's speedboat. Good times.

We ended the night at Vatos (and their delicious kimchi fries).
This was one of the BEST/CHEGO days in Korea!
This day literally was 4 in 1. I loved every moment of it. Take two Han River! Making millions of memories at a time.
