it was very beautiful at the summit of taebaeksan, this is my second full ascent, the first time the weather was nice. Spring is here, even though there is some snow on the ground at the top, but it was still quite warm.
here is one of the 1000 year old yew trees i mention on the video, these trees are very ancient and majestic and only seem to grow at the summit of the mountain, not quite a pine tree, not quite deciduous, but something in between.
This photo was taken by a randomly passing Ajjumah, with our friend Pearly. Pearly also lives and teaches in Taebaek, and she too is a Canadian from Vancouver. Canada has practically invaded Taebaek by way of English teachers, we hold at least half of the foreigner population here (which is like 5 of us)...
On Saturday we go to Gangneung to see the Cherry Blossom Festival, I am very excited to see the beautiful flowers. The Cherry Blossom trees line many of the streets and in their prime are very very VERY beautiful, expect many photos. Until next time. 안뇽히 가세요!
