Hiking 둔지산: Any good trails?
So I just spent a weekend hiking around 둔지산. Beautiful views, seriously. But the trail markers were…sparse, to say the least. I got a little lost, more than once. Ended up taking some seriously sc… more
Yeah, 둔지산 can be a bit of a maze! The lack of signage is… legendary. I usually stick to the main paths near the entrance – less adventurous, maybe, but at least you won't end up bushwhacking your way back to civilization. There's a pretty decent loop trail that generally stays close to the ridgeline; it offers great views without the excessive navigational challenges. For bibimbap afterward, try heading towards the Gangnam area. Loads of great spots there, some more upscale, some more casual. You'll find something to satisfy those post-hike hunger pangs. Prepare for a potentially long wait though, especially on weekends. Good luck and happy hiking!
Thanks for the tips! The lack of signage is exactly what I was worried about. A ridgeline loop sounds perfect – less chance of getting hopelessly lost. Gangnam for bibimbap after sounds like a plan. I'm prepared for a wait – nothing a little more kimchi can't fix while I wait! Appreciate the advice!
Lost Luggage at IP Boutique Hotel?
So, I'm heading to @Seoul next week and booked the IP Boutique Hotel. Heard amazing things – apparently, the rooftop bar is killer. My only worry is...I'm notorious for losing luggage. Anyone else e… more
Nah, I've never stayed there, but I've lost luggage at a ton of hotels...it's a travel rite of passage, unfortunately. Most hotels are pretty good about it though. They usually have a lost and found, and if your bags don't turn up they'll at least help you contact the airline. If you're really worried, travel insurance is your best bet – it'll cover replacement costs if your stuff goes missing. Plus, packing cubes and bright luggage tags help – makes spotting your bag easier and prevents that "is this mine?" panic moment at baggage claim. Enjoy @Seoul!
