While falling in the corner, they met two Korean girls who spoke English (and took skating lessons), who befriended them and gave them some pointers.

This topped off our long weekend nicely, and we were all ready to get back home.

We have discovered yet another place in Korea that we wish we would've made time to go to earlier in our tour, because we sure would've liked to enjoy the beach in the summer!
