This is My New Everyday.

Okay, so I'm a little behind on the blog posts for the stupidest reason imaginable: my camera battery is dead and I cannot recharge it. Yep, I said it. Stupidest reason ever. See, I have a camera and I had a power converter, but my last couchsurfer kind of, sort of blew it up. It was an accident, I know, but that doesn't mean my iPhone photos do justice to my experiences of late.

On Saturday, for example, I meant to meet up with a local group of Hash House Harriers but despite my hour-long trip into the north of Seoul they turned out to be no shows. So instead I took a bit of a walk and stumbled upon this:


Gyeongbok Palace

I didn't go in - although exactly why I cannot quite remember - and instead went on to Itaewon to pick up the ingredients necessary to make hummus. Mmm... delicious. Getting back on the metro, I headed home to Anyang but once at my local station I headed East instead of my usual West. This is what I found:


Anyang River

It was, as you can see, a beautiful, sunny day and walking along the length of the river a found an amazing cycling path. Now all I want to do is buy a bike and take it for a test drive here. Come payday - next week - I think I'll do just that.
The next day, also surprisingly beautiful - the forecast called for rain but it did not - I went to this park tantalizingly close to my school. Well, I thought it was a park. It turns out it is the gateway to highest mountain in Anyang:


View from Surisan

So there I was, at the top of a secondary peak in my sandals. As if being blonde wasn't enough to make my neighbors stare! Luckily it is only a fifteen minute walk from my apartment so I'll be back. Oh yeah, you betcha - I'll be back.
