I had my group of of friends waiting for me at Gimpo Airport in Seoul. Me, Peter, and Stephen (both brothers) have had a nickname for our traveling adventures/late night debauchery group outings. This group always seem to consist of five people and it's gone through two rotations of different people with me and Peter being in all two. We call ourselves The Five (a bit obvious but we were all hung over when the name was created).
(Brief history of The Five, skip to next paragraph if not interested)
The Five was created after my friend Kelley had a house party/cook out in Atlanta about 4 years ago. The party was your standard house party with the usual minerals and friendly people with a grill. By the next morning I awoke in Kelley's living room with four of my other friends. Me, my brother Milton, Peter, Stephen, and Evan all looked at each other and laughed once we realized we were the only people that crashed in the house after the party was done. We decided to call ourselves The Five on the car ride back. The second Five formed on a trip to Ecuador in December 2009. Now the third group of The Five has been formed on Jeju Island and it consists of (from left to right) Jong Hoon, Phil Robinson, Me, Peter Dye, and Stephen Dye.
From the Gimpo airport we all took a short plane ride to an island on the southern coast of Korea called Jeju Island. Once there we rented a car and proceeded to drive about an hour south to our hostel. Once we were all settled we headed over to a Sashimi restaurant where we would be treated to a very extensive million course seafood meal.
The food just kept coming and coming. Most of it was good and the portion that wasn't was interesting to say the least. The walk back was funny due to a sign that read "Pizza Ran?" I'm sure this was the owners attempt at replicating the usual pizza run you have in the states at about 1am when most everything else is closed. Let's just say it became a joke for the rest of the Jeju trip.
