I went for a hike on the mountain near our house, Acha Mountain, hither to known as Achasan. It was a normal hike for me. But then I started to wonder, is it normal because I've been in Korea so long? So, with fresh eyes, I thought, what might I have found fascinating when I first arrived here. This is what I came up with.
At the bottom of the mountain, a fun performance. Usually they sing folk songs and everyone in the audience cheers and claps along.
It's really common to have exercise parks in Korea. Our friend Matthew made a fun video of Jamie and I exercising. One day I'll post that. For now, look here. This is at the TOP of the mountain. As if hiking the mountain wasn't enough! 
Please note two things.
One: Look how huge that woman's hula-hoop is. She didn't carry that with her (thank heavens!), it's just there for you to use. She's currently paused from hula-hooping because she is talking on the phone. I'd like to note that she, by my count, hula-hooped for 20 minutes. She didn't look like she was ready to give it up anytime soon.
Two: The man that is lying on the sit up board. He's napping. Upside down.
I'll leave you with this city scape.
