Trip in South Korea (next) :

5th Day (12th august 2012) :

From now on I am not going to mention that we of course ate our usual breakfast at our super cool hotel ! Because this part is obviously always the same ! ^^

It was sunday and we didn't want to take the risk to see all the places we wanted to go closed so we decided to go to the Seoul national park in the mountains wich was called Bukhansan  (북한산).

If you wanna go there by yourself it is kind of hard. Or maybe because we didn't know where to go we felt this way but still I will try to explain you : We took the metro and got down at Gupabal line 3 (구바발) and then took the bus, I don't know wich line it was but if you don't read or speak korean you'll get lost in 3 seconds because there are only ajummas and ajeosshi who don't speak english LOL ^^ 

And when you hear the right station you go down by pushing a button, DO NOT MISS THE STOP ! Or else it'll get harder to find it. 

Then we walked until we found the beginning of the walk (of the mountain of course) and before we got through a little village with really nice and lovely people.
At the beginning of the walk there are lots of shops for hiking in the mountains. At first we were like dumb foreigners and asking to ourselves : why are they wearing mountains clothes and accessories because the road is perfect and it is made of concrete ?! And then when this road end we knew that we should have worn some better shoes and clothes because this was where the expedition started! ^^

 The road before and us being like :"we are so intelligent to have come with only city shoes, because the road is so easy !"

The road after and us being like :"Oh s**t we should have brought some stuffs for mountain ! OMG my feet are hurting so bad !" 

It was really hot and tiring because we were climbing like crazy, all the koreans were having their picnic and sometimes the radio with them. And you know what the most amazing thing is that even though they picnic in the nature on the mountains there is NO and like really NO waste left behind them ! And that is just like WOW for us because in France the nature is so dirty compared to the one in Korea !^^

 Buddha on the road to give us strength to go on ! ^^

 This time it was a cute little Buddah ! ^^

 Some statue for prayers, my dad told me that on the statue on the left there was a part where it was written "...man" and on the other one "...woman". It's in Chinese.

 Me, trying to climb the mountain and to keep my breath ! ^^ I was feeling so good at this time. I couldn't think of anything except from walking and not stoping :) 

 People were having a picnic and when they left there weren't any leftovers ! 

When we got half way up of the mountain it started to rain (2 hours of walk) so we decided to go back but the road was really slippery and it was raining like crazy so as we were going back we were totally wet. But still it was a great walk and really beautiful and the people speak more freely to each other, they even went to see us to try to speak with us ! Isn't it cute ? :)

 Sisters going back to the bottom of the mountain while the rain didn't stop any seconds ! So scared to slip that I was holding on really tightly her hand ! She is so courageous compared to me for those things ^^ Love her <3

 When it starts raining, the landscape became like that, it was like being in a dream or in an unreal land :)

Korean people avoiding the rain by coming under this beautiful place :)

When we finally arrived at the end of our walk we took a taxi so that it can take us directly to the metro station and I gotta tell you it was way much more easier ! So instead of the bus take the taxi :)

And we went back to our hotel to rest because we were litterally dead ! 

After a good nap and a good shower we decided to go to the Namsan Seoul Tower. Even tough it was still rainy we wanted to see the beautiful Seoul in a diferent way so we took the metro (again ^^) and we went to the Namsan tower under the rain again.

The love game at the last floor of the Namsan Tower, if you both put the heart coins in the round thing in the background of the picture, you'll be in love with each other forever ^^

After having such a happy and tiring day we went back to our hotel with lots of different beautiful views of Seoul (the nature from the mountain and the new & wide Seoul from the N Seoul Tower).

It was still raining when we were on our way back to the hotel but the streets were still alive and crowded with people.

Next day on a next post :) as usual have a nice day or night and bye guys~~! 여러분 안녕~~! :)
