The hike was pretty good. There were a lot of buddha stone carvings. In fact there were rocks everywhere. It was so nice to get out of Busan.
We didn’t find any snow but we did spot some ice. I guess it will be the closest I’ll get to seeing snow this year. On our way down, we were accosted by a Korean boy who had lived in NZ for a few months and his father. It was funny to see this boy scrambling down over the rocks to reach us. We knew right away what was going on. His father was urging him to catch up with us and practice his English. It was a bit annoying because we were hungry and wanted to get down the mountain. But we thought we should just be polite and answer all their questions with enthusiasm. We told them we were leaving Busan soon because we didn’t feel like hanging out with them. From what I understood, I think they were going to invite us to eat with them or something. They actually drove us to the bus terminal and walked us in there. That was awfully sweet of them, and we exchanged phone numbers. Since the father doesn’t speak English, I assume we would be in contact with a 12 year old boy. Just what I need, another student emailing or calling me.
