광주에서 청송으로 버스를 탓는데 프리미엄 버스라고 아예 누워서 커텐도 치고 영화까지 볼수도 있다. 승객이라고는 22석 중에 2명이라 조금 미안할 정도이다. 요금도 별로더 비싸지도 않았다. 중간에 보통버스로 갈아타기는 했지만 한국은 정말 여행하기 좋은 나라이다.
청송도 예전보다는 많이 바뀌었을 테지만 지금도 심씨가 제법 많이 사는 모양이다. 99칸짜리 집부터, 온천이 달린 호텔로 아주 잘 발달되어있다. 근처에 있는 주왕산도 아주 유명하단다.
This is a definite sign of getting old. I wanted to visit the hometown of the my last name Shim claims, Chung-song. I am a 23rd generation from Shim Hong-Bu who was born around 1230 A.D. But I never was interested in my genealogy but brother Shim who I met while I was serving in Seoul Korean mission urged me to visit at least once. I did not have the opportunity to visit while I was living in Korea, so I decided to visit there on the way to Seoul from Kwang-ju. I thought my father would like to visit if he was alive My second oldest sister said she visited many times with my father while she was young. Everyone knew she was my father's favorite....
I took a prime class bus and it was so fancy I could lie down and close the curtains with my own monitor for a movie! I felt a bit guilty because there were only one other passenger on board.
