Apsan!!!

I feel much better about life now. Nothing like a 5 minute walk to the base of your own personal mountain, where I discovered Koreans love hiking. There were hundreds if not thousands of people hiking around the the mountains, which is completely understandable when you take a look at how absolutely beautiful the country is. Its a strange dichotomy with these dirty cities juxtaposed within these mountains. I spent some time visiting a Buddhist temple on the way up and then stopped by a shrine after I got about 2/3 of the way up and was fed some fried veggies/tofu. Everyone here is phenomenally nice most of the time. You get the odd mix of people that are very kind and also very rude. They don't really like Americans over here, which I'm guessing is a holdover from the Korean War... oops. Anyway... I just wanted to throw up a few pictures of Apsan and Daegu from the overlooking ridge. More on school when I need to return to that place of insanity... but that's another story. As my blogging skills increase, I'll actually figure out how to post pictures where I want them... *sigh*
