Seorak Mountain

A weekend getaway to Seorak Mountain in Gangwon-Do (about 4hrs east of Seoul) was a great break from the polluted, populated city life. My friends, Sarah, Nick, Erin, and I hiked to the Ulsanbawi Peak of the Mountain which was about 1hr40min one way on Saturday and went on a “leisure” walk to a small waterfall on Sunday. We went through a tour group called Adventure Korea so there was about 40 people from all over Korea with us.

Besides the hiking…
***I kept catching myself using improper grammar and thinking “god I need to get outta here before I revert to a kindergarten level English speaker”
Example: “Betsy boughten her first hair straightener”

***I was embarrassed by the guy on our trip from MN who introduced himself as “Dick from Uranus” on the bus

***I took as many deep breaths as I could because it wasn’t air filled with kimchi, soju, fish and sewer.
