WWOOFing in Winter

Unfortunately, it was just poor timing with my farm stay on Jeju so I've come back to Busan. They weren't picking Hallabongs (citrus fruit) this week, but instead building a new WWOOFer house and burning piles of junk. There was no need for two WWOOFers, so we just stood around and waited most of the time. It was really cold, especially in the work trailer where there was no heating except for a little space heater and hot blankets at night. In the farm description it said there where two guest rooms, but instead there was one bed in the office trailer. It didn't bother me so much to share the room with the 34-year Korean guy who’s WWOOFing there, but there was no privacy/ quiet space because the family came in and out at all times of the day. So it was impossible to concentrate on anything.

On our day off, the other WWOOFer and I went sightseeing, spent a lot of money on lunch and tourist attractions entrance fees, and got lost because he was no good at following directions. He was also a chain smoker which really got on my nerves. So here I am back in Busan, at the university dorms for a couple weeks to study and enjoy time with friends. At least I practiced a lot of Korean and got to go for a nice hike one day. I hope to go back to Jeju for a relaxed visit with good company when the weather’s nicer!
