We heard about this group called "Korea on the Rocks", which consists of many foreigners from all over the world who are in Korea, teaching, and sharing the love of rock climbing. Every year they have two meet and greets to 1. meet and greet other foreigners, and 2. climb some rocks. We found out about two weeks ago and knew that we had to tag along. We headed out to the town of Seonunsan, South Korea. We haven't traveled around too much, but we definitely learned how to get around Korea real quick. After learning the subway system one month, and the train system last month, this month was time for the bus system. Well, we made our way to to Seonusan after about an 8 hour travel day. We had no idea it was going to take that long; I mean it looks rather close on a map.... maps are deceiving. Exhausted, yet excited to be out of the bus we found ourselves in a quaint little town filled with Korean travelers seeking the same thing we were: nature.
We had a nice quiet, yet physically rigorous weekend filled with talks of worldly travels, music playing by a burning bright fire, curled up in a tent due to freezing to death temperatures (not really, but I'm from Texas..come on) , and peaceful meditation in a Buddhist temple. I must say for all the work it took to get there and get back... I would do it again in an instant.
Inside the temple everyone wrote down their wishes on these little pieces of paper. You then proceeded to hang them up outside to blow in the wind.
