Hiking: Korean Style

I went back to the same mountain I went a few weeks ago when I saw the temple, this time do more hiking. And let me tell you...hiking in Korea is a hoot! First, it's mostly older people wielding ski poles and booking along the trail, in way better shape than anybody else. Secondly, 90% of trails consist of climbing up or down stairs. Sometimes the stairs are really crude stone steps, while others are just plain wooden stairs put in by the park. And the other 10% consists of slipping and sliding treacherously along cliffs that may or may not be trails.

Today I went with some teachers for about 4 hours (but probably 3 in Reddy time because some of those girls were slllloooowww! And if I'm saying their slow than they were definitely going snail pace.)
