Namsan Mtn in Gyeongju

Yay for another day of hiking. I absolutely love hiking in Korea. First of all, there are many green trees and little streams along the way. Right now, the leaves are starting to change colors so it is especially nice! Second, the trails are sometimes challenging so it doesn't get boring. This time, there was even a part where we had to use the rope to climb down. (See pictures) And lastly, you just meet great people along the way.

I took the bus at 9:30am from Pohang to Gyeongju with one of my friends. We then met up with another friend in Gyeongju. We decided to eat at local restaurant then take the bus to Namsan Mtn. On the way, we met a foreigner from Germany. He's in Korea for a badminton tournament in Gwanju. He's the head delegate for the German Badminton Team. He hiked with us along the way and even had dinner with us. It's really nice to mee people from all over the world...especially someone who's really good at badminton. He no longer plays and just coaches at the universities now.

The view was awesome!!!!! (see pictures) Fall is a great time to hike is Korea. There were a lot of people hiking today.
