We hopped on the subway from Seoul Station to Oido, line 4. It was about an hour and twenty minute trip! But I guess the bus isn't much faster and the traffic sucks. If you're looking to visit Oido, it's on the very faaaaaarrr end of line 4.

I honestly had no idea there was clam digging in Korea. I know there are plenty of beaches but the thought never crossed my mind until my friend mentioned it.

So to catch clams, you have to hop in the mud at low tide like this guy. Haha I had nice jeans on and wasn’t ready to get dirty XD

Then you take your catch to one of the restaurants and throw your catch on one of these super hot charcoal grills. It was so hot that the clams would burst open if you left them on the grill for to long. Burned my finger >____< Definitely some of the best seafood I’ve ever had though. Nothing beats fresh food and food doesn’t get any fresher than this.

Then we got some fireworks from the mart, headed back to the beach to launch them off. That about wrapped up the trip. Hopped on the bus back which took me to Yeungdeunpo.
