We went on our first hike last week and it was really great. It's about a 2km hike to the top of the mountain and the incline was much steeper than we had imagined. The weather here goes back and forth between winter and fall weather. Yesterday it was 16 degrees and a few days before it was 5. It's been consistently really sunny though which is great and we're only about a 2 minute walk to the mountains so we plan on going once a week. The Koreans take mountain climbing very seriously. They're always decked out in the proper gloves, walking sticks, jackets, hats, shoes, etc. We met a foreigner at the top who told us he had once been chased down the mountain by a dog. There is apparently a dog farm (and by dog farm, I mean slaughter house) on your way up to the mountain so we were a bit scared that we will run into one next time we're climbing. Some other people told us though that we shouldn't worry as they take their dog to the mountains all the time and the other dogs would not hurt people.
Anyway, we're just about to have a Thanksgiving meal with our school so we will be sure to post pictures tomorrow!!!
