Bukhansan

I've much to say, but zero time during this particular AM for such enjoyment. I can offer this much until later: I stepped from my bedroom onto what appears to be our invariably disused atrium (all will change with warmer months...plants I say, plants!!). I peered down to the street below, and in the center of road stood an older guy with a pack and a curiously bewildered look, as if he had just woken from a trance and found himself unaccountably in this place. It was a very surreal moment, and I couldn't but help thinking that this may be a vision of me sometime in the near future. We've only begun to explore the humble vastness of this country, and I predict we will find ourselves in precariously sublime situations of confusion; I look forward to it... My eyes wandered upward, eventually coming to rest on an eminence that is only visible certain mornings, given the forecast of smoggy obscurity. Baekundae is the highest point in Bukhansan National Park in Seoul. It's just 2,744 feet to the top, but, surrounded as it is by much smaller hills, it looks considerably bigger. It has in any case a certain imposing majesty that beckons.

On a lighter note, here is some video footage that I uploaded onto YouTube last night of our Sunday meal yesterday, enjoy :
