Chi Ak Mountain
Back in August, my wife and I spent a couple of days with her family out at Chi Ak Mountain National Park. We got there the night before the others and headed out early next morning to hike the mountain. Any mountain in Korea with the syllable ak in its name is going to have [...]

My Favorite Trail
Tuesday, thanks to some canceled classes, I had time for a good long hike. I went to my favorite mountains: Ye Bong San and Ungil San. I had intended to start out at a peak next to Ye Bong, called Ye Bin San, but because I got started 50 minutes late, at 7:35 am, I [...]

Of Movies and Mountains
On Friday, I found that Juno was still playing at Joong Ang theater near Myeong Dong. Not one of my favorite theaters. They still have the old style Korean snack bars, where you can buy things like small canned drinks and squid jerky rather than popcorn and hot dogs. And the cinemas are really, really [...]
