We arrived at Bijindo around 7:00 Friday evening and decided it best to search for a suitable campsite so we could pitch our tents before dark. Found a great spot on the beach, only about 30 feet from the edge of the water, behind a small rock formation and in front of the only Pension (hotel) on the island. Successfully pitched our tents and established our campsite just in time to watch a handful of Koreans shoot fireworks over the crashing waves. I couldn't resist so I went for a brief swim. When I returned, the rest of my camping crew were making friends with a small group of Koreans who were staying the night in the Pension. As we've grown accustomed to in our short time here, before long they bought us some drinks and invited us to join them for appetizers on a nearby outdoor picnic area. A few beers later, we found ourselves singing karaoke (some in English and some in Korean) with our new friends on a machine that was connected to an extension chord and was rolled out onto the boardwalk. After a few songs, we invited them to join us for some campfire songs near our campsite. A few of them accepted our invitation and we ended the first night of our island adventure singing "Jesus loves me", "God is an awesome God" and various other tunes sitting around our campfire.
