Bukhan National Park


This is a National Park that I took a hike in last week. It is just north of Seoul, you can actually see the entire city from this vantage point. That is only if there is a slight haze that day, since it is almost never clear enough to get any kind of view. The hike that I took was about 14 km long. But this is the first time that I've been on a Korean trail that actually had well marked trails.







This is just another view of the mountains to the north of where I was at the time.












This is a common sight in all of the Subway Stations around Seoul. Each station has about 3 or 4 of these lockers. Each little brown bag actually holds a gas mask for just in case the city is attacked with a chemical or biological weapon. I think that they just put them there to make people think that they are trying to protect the people, since there is no way that they will ever have enough masks for the thousands of people that are at the station at any given time.
