Muuido Island

4TH of JULY - Independence day

This weekend was a special day for Americans. Independence day. And as most people who had encounters with Americans before would know it's a big celebration amongst all Americans.

We went to an island close to the Incheon International Airport just off the coast of Korea. It's a rather small island with the weirdest sea tides I have even encountered. At high tide there is waves and you can walk into the ocean for a few hundred meters with the water only reaching hip- height. With low-tide you can walk for a few hundred meters without even knowing that there is an ocean. You can't see the ocean from the beach.

It was fantastic to share this awesome day with them. And that on a beach made it even better. What better do you get than a beach fire, Fireworks, alcohol or let me rather just say beer and absolutely great people around you, oh, a guitar and endless walks on the beach with great company discovering luminescent creatures of the sea. These are the elements that makes great memories. In our group we were 9 people of which there was only one guy so the girls took over. There was this amazing little Korean Restaurant on the beach right next to my Bungalow which means I didn't had to walk far to fill my tummy with some nice Korean pancakes and awesome Bulgogi.

We bought our beverages and the fireworks later the Saturday evening just before we started to celebrate with everybody else. We ended up with a big group of other Americans who also thought of spending their weekend on the island. Mind you we got caught in the cross fire of those Americans and their Roman candles (type of firework).

The next day we headed back in a really grand bus, after taking the ferry over the waters of course. Our bus broke down half way through our journey home but with such comfortability after not sleeping much the night before I couldn't care less.

One of my friends comprised this video that captures all the greatness of this weekend. Take a look. 

Arrival on the Island.

In the back ground you would see the awesome small bungalows we stayed at.

First Lunch on the island and our first cheers.

Eating a really expensive but really nice dish of seafood. 

This is how you sleep. On the floor with no mattress. 

Enjoying some mokali or Rice wine.

I had to take a picture like we normally
would take a picture with a glass of wine.

My friend, Nathalie, and I having some sparkling fun. 

Selfies always necessary.

This is a must for a beach party.
Every guitar player needs a break.
