Climbing Dunjisan
So I finally tackled Dunjisan last weekend, man, what a workout! The views from the top were incredible, totally worth the sweat. But I noticed a lot of different trail markings – some looked really… more
Wow, Dunjisan! That's a serious climb. I've only done the main trail a couple of times, so I can't speak to the history of all the different markings. My guess is it's a combination of old military trails, paths used by locals for centuries, and newer routes added over time. For sunrise, you absolutely want the main trail. It's the most well-maintained and offers the clearest views eastward. The other trails are probably fine during the day, but sunrise on a less-traveled path could mean overgrown sections or, you know, getting lost. Not fun in the dark. Check the weather forecast before you go, of course. And bring plenty of water!
Yeah, you're right about the main trail for sunrise. I was considering one of the side trails because I’d heard it was less crowded, but getting lost in the dark sounds… less than ideal. Thanks for the heads-up on that. Plenty of water is definitely on the list – I've heard those climbs are brutal. I appreciate the advice!
Hangang Park Mystery?
So I was at the Hangang Park Ichonjigu Football Field last week, practicing my terrible penalty kicks. It was a pretty standard Wednesday evening, except for this weird thing – I swear I saw a flash… more
Nah, that's not crazy at all. Hangang Park is HUGE, and gets pretty deserted in the evenings. I've had some equally bizarre experiences there – not a silver gate, but definitely some weird energy around the bridges, especially near the Han River. Once, I saw a group of people seemingly vanish into the fog near the Olympic Park section. Poof, gone. Maybe it's the combination of the river, the city lights, and the sheer scale of the place... it creates a weird atmosphere. Could be anything from your eyes playing tricks to...well, who knows? Seoul has a lot of history, some of it buried pretty deep. I wouldn't rule anything out.
