Okay, so the pictures we're posting here were taken on our second day in Korea. Michael, the teacher that we replaced, took us up to Sandangsanseong, which is a mountain fortress about 4km north of the city. A very cool place, with a good hike up around the wall, which I believe goes 1.5 km around the central part of the enclosure.
The way it's set up is that there's a valley in the middle with a little cluster of shops/restaurants, etc (which we didn't go to see this time -- we will soon though) and a wall that runs along the ridgeline surrounding the valley. It makes for some nice views, and a merciful breeze if the day is a bit warm, which it was.
I've got a bunch of other pictures (like of our apartment and some interesting examples of Konglish) but this is the guinea pig post, trying to see if this new image hosting service works.
Here goes...
This is a view of part of Cheongju from somewhere along the wall of the fortress:
This one's Becca and I at roughly the same spot along the wall. Michael's taking the picture.
More pictures to come, as well as an update featuring some more of the random oddities involved in this whole "living in Korea" thing.
Until next time...
