I love to go to somewhere I have never
visited. I had lots of trips with my family, and my favorite trip was a trip to
Palau. Palau is a pacific island that is smaller than Saipan and
less-developed. I visited Palau with my
whole family during summer vacation when I was in 8th grade. Before
I heard that we were going to have a family trip to Palau, I did not even know
the existence of Palau. My mom told me that Palau’s sea has been selected as
the sea of the most beautiful color before the trip. Right after I arrived on
Palau, all I thought was “It’s so hot”. Even though Korea was in summer, too,
Palau’s summer was way different from Korea’s. It was much more humid, and
windy. I was very shocked of size of airport on Palau. It was so small. Also,
Palau was so not developed. Our guide told us that Internet is not fully
developed. For me, as a Korean, It was very shocking thing because Korea is the
country that has the fastest internet.
There
were 2 places that I like the most on Palau. First one is the Jellyfish Lake.
Jellyfish Lake is one of the most famous places on Palau because it is the only
lake that safe jellyfish is living. Jellyfish in the Jellyfish Lake does not
sting. Also, it is not poisonous, so we could touch them anytime we want. I
have never seen jellyfish that close. They were very cute, squishy. There were several
sizes of jellyfish from finger-size to dish-size. Our guide told us something
very important before we went into the water. He said that we should not pee in
water because that will cause jellyfish near us die. The reason is that
jellyfish is sensitive of ammonia in urine. When I first went into water, I was
very scared because the color of water seemed dark due to the depth of the
lake. We wore safe vest and snorkels. I looked into the water and the lake was
just full of jellyfish. I could see jellyfish everywhere. I couldn’t believe
that I was swimming with hundreds of thousands of jellyfish.
Second
favorite place on Palau is the Milkyway. Milkyway was narrow sea on palau which
is surrounded by cliffs and trees. It was called Milkyway because the mud under
the sea was white and smooth. We were told that that mud is good for skin so we
put them on all over our body. One of the local people dived into the water and
brought mud for us. It felt so good to touch soft mud, so I just put them on my
hands for whole time. Also, I really felt that my skin became smoother before I
put it on my body. We also took picture with white mud on our body. One of my
uncles took picture with so funny face, making all of us laugh so hard. Trip to Palau was my favorite trip in my life. It was so good because my whole family was with me. Even though it was quite tired trip, I loved it and If I can, I want to visit Palau again when I become an adult.
