4 Wheeler Wonderland


Good times were had this weekend in Gangchon. Emily is about to head out of here at the end of the month and it was her idea to go out there this weekend and rent some AVTs. It was a BEAUTIFUL fall day. We were able to go through the town and up into the mountains a little bit. The trails that we found kept coming to dead ends, but we managed to use up our two hours pretty well. I wish I had had more of a chance to take pictures of some of the trails though...steep and rocky = good fun. Unfortunaly it's not the optimal opportunity to be shot pictures when gripping the breaks with all your strength.

We stayed in a pension (motel) for $12 each, bus ticket $14 both ways, ate a huge dinner of dak-galbi for $16, went to the carnival, the noraebang and had a rooftop bon fire. Yep, we had ourselves a nice little weekend.

Lastly, my co-workers are always talking about a lack of safety concerns in this country. I believe that this video of one of the carnival rides proves that point. Plus, they were totally picking on the white people...not fair.
