For Chuseok, the Korean Thanksgiving, we actually got five days off from work. We have a new teacher John and he and I planned to go hiking one of those days. We took off to Bukhansan National Park and climbed, what the locals called, Korea Mountain. Only about 2400ft but definetly the breath taking views from the top. The whole hike lasted around 4+ hours. It was really great to get out of the city for the first time since I've been here; 3 months. We had a great time and the other hikers were more than happy to help us out with directions, a hand, or just some georgraphy of the area.
