Climbing Achasan + Yongwasan

Today I woke up early and tackled two small mountains in Seoul for an assignment for an online class. Here are some snapshots. There are 37 mountains in Seoul, with 10 major ones. I really want to try to climb all 10 while I am in Seoul.

First, Achasan.

Apartment

I've been at my new apartment for almost 4 weeks and today I finally managed to take some pictures with my iPhone. When I moved into the place, it was a disaster. The first week was exhausting with all the cleaning. I had to buy a couch. I got rid of some old furniture from my old place. I did a furniture swap with my friend Justine (she took my old coffee table & I took her table, which I now use as a desk).

The kitchen. I baked a ton of muffins yesterday.<3

My table/desk from my furniture swap. I want to spray paint it white but I have to find a location first.

A Quick Trip to Konjiam Resort :: Gwangju, South Korea

Last weekend I left Seoul to spend one night at Konjiam Resort with my bf and two friends from our semester in Japan. We were only gone for about 24 hours but it was a fun stint away from my new busy life this semester.

ImageChecking in.

We rented a suite with 2 bedrooms for the 2 couples. Here is the living area.


ImageAfter checking in and grabbing a quick bite to eat, we headed to the walking paths. There were 3 paths: largo, andante, and moderato. We didn't have time because it was 5:30 so we chose largo.


ImagePristine nature.

ImageThey had really detailed information about all types of birds in the area. Eventually we realized that they say the sounds the birds make in Korean and we were just searching for that information. For example, one bird could say " Ka ka ka" and another will be " ooo ee oo eee." It was funny.

ImageBeing that this is an LG resort, there were massive LG advertisements everywhere.


ImageBack to our room. We brought food to make BBQ!

ImageWe almost ate and then Choi jumped to get the camera. I look hungry.. ;)


ImageFinished with some extreme Jenga.

The next morning we had cheese muffins & checked out to head back to Seoul~~
