Adam and I took a 2 hour bus ride to the mountains quickly after I did most of my packing for a new apartment last Tuesday. The last bus to Danyang was at 6:00 pm and we arrived at 7:30 pm to the bus terminal. But thankfully the location we picked nearby was still offering rides. On Wednesday morning we made it to Danyang. Population of 45,000. We were on a type of island and so it seemed even smaller than that number (perhaps so because the area of Danyang is beyond the island). It is known for it's specialization in garlic. We passed a cute kitty near the Garlic Market.
The story is the Danyang village idiot married a queen. With her help he studied well and became a great general. He died eventually in battle but became a legend. All to say, that is why that dude has bushy eyebrows. Guess Koreans think bushy brows equals dummy folks. Education yo. Education.
The coffee shop we wanted to visit before our morning departure was closed. Called Hugs, sometimes with an apostrophe.
Adam taking a picture of our beautiful, scenic escape from Seoul. A bridge that lights up from Danyang to the road to go to Sohbaeksan. San means mountain.
It was cloudy on our hike too.
We couldn't see beyond 15 feet ahead the last kilometer of our climb.
On our climb up Sohbaeksan we also encountered much, much rain. :D It was nice until it got too cold on the top. But it was warmer down with the trees. We also saw a deer. It was tiny enough I think it to be a baby! Bambi!
Arriving back to Seoul I saw a new display of balloons at Noksapyeong Station.
