hello and welcome to seoraksan national park.
i took the bus to bundang after work friday and spent the night at maria's apartment with her, her mom, and bonnie. our morning began at 5 - we met up with laura, took the subway and then a 4 hour long busride to the northeastern part of korea. we arrived in the town of sokcho (long /o/ sounds), stopped by E-Mart since i didn't have any food, managed to find our motel and make it to the park all by noon. we commenced on a 5 hour long hike up and down a mountain. laura and i kept a much faster pace, so we made it back to the motel and chilled until the other ladies made it. afterwards was dinner - delicious bulgogi (beef and lots of vegetables cooked right in front of you), soup with tofu and lots more vegetables, and not to forget rice, kimchi, and several other side dishes. despite our motel hosts' pleas for kope (coffee) and talk, we begged tiredness and were all in bed by around 8. lol. this morning we went for a shorter and easy, but lovely hike, then checked out of our motel and began the fairly long trip back home. it was a wonderful trip, but i confess i am very happy to be back home in my apartment.
