Hiking in November

Last Sunday, Kenny and I went for a hike behind Chonnam National University. It was such a pretty hike, and a lot less crowded than hiking up Mudeungsan! We didn't know where exactly to begin hiking because the number 6 bus dropped us off at Home Plus, a short distance from the mountain. So we just started walking up behind some apartments in the area. We had no problems though, and the hiking was relatively easy, especially since I wasn't even wearing tennis shoes.

It took about an hour to get to the peak, where we enjoyed our snacks (apples and peanuts). The trees were so beautiful, different shades of red, yellow, green, and brown; I wish I could say the same about the view.

It's always hard to tell in Korea if you're seeing pollution, haze, fog, or what exactly the white "stuff" in the sky is. I've heard mixed things, the Koreans always say it's just moisture, but most foreigners know that it's gotta be a mix of pollution and clouds, because it's always there.

Here's some of the pictures. If only it was clearer, you'd be able to see almost the entire city!
