Korean thanksgiving (Chuseok - 추석) fell in September this year and we got a whole week off. Since we were a bit broke from our summer travels, we decided to just rent a car and head up to Seoraksan National Park for a few days. So glad we did! Our life here in South Korea can start to feel very normal and at times monotonous (like life anywhere can) so it's nice to go out and do things like this to remind ourselves - hey! We're living in Asia!
The first day we were there we didn't exert ourselves too hard. We took the cable car up the mountain and then did a quick little walk up to the Gwongeumseong lookout. I felt a little guilty getting such an amazing view after doing so little work but we made up for that the next day! :)
this place is absolutely awesome!

ReplyDeletewow, just wow! and I know what you mean, it's always good to get away and see something with "fresh eyes" - it's incredible how quickly we become accustomed to our environment (even in a place that once felt just as new and strange as those rocky hillsides!)
