69) Gwanaksan



Yesterday afternoon Chip and I went to a mountain in southwestern Seoul. It was nice to get out and do some hiking and sort of be in nature for a while. I say “sort of” because there are constant signs of modern man while hiking in Korea. You can almost always see or hear something that takes away from a serene moment- but I am not complaining, it was still nice. It is also pretty cool to get a view of the city from above, but when it comes down to it, I would rather just see rows of mountains.



After the hike we hung out in Gangnam for a while, went out to eat, and then made our way back to my area. We ate at a TGI Fridays, this was one of the few times I have gone to eat a Western restaurant, but I have really been craving steak lately so it was a pretty nice treat. After eating and some shopping in Gangnam we headed out to my place and went to a couple Hofs and then called it a night.

Nice mountain pics. Did you get the famous "A large rock for my britches" picture?

Hey, sometimes I get that western craving. Pizza hut is a amazing here. But I would stick away from the Indian versions of Tex-mex restuarants that serve pasta.

I think Who.A.U is gonna want to use that shot in their next fall catalog. We'd better get ourselves a good agent.
