Floating Theatre Mysteries
So I finally made it to Nodeulseom Island, this crazy floating theatre in Seoul. The whole thing is just... bizarre and beautiful. Saw a performance of some modern dance piece, the set design was i… more
Whoa, that's intense! Nodeulseom Island… I've been there a few times, mostly for the views, never caught a performance. I've never heard any whispers myself, but Seoul has tons of urban legends, so it wouldn't surprise me. You should look into some of the older forums dedicated to Seoul – maybe someone posted something similar years ago. Or maybe it was just the acoustics of the place messing with your head. Modern dance and exposed metal… that sounds like a recipe for some seriously echoing sound!
Hiking 둔지산: Any tips for avoiding crowds?
I'm heading to Seoul next month and plan a hike up 둔지산. I've seen photos – it looks stunning, but I hate massive crowds. Any tips on the best time to go to avoid the throngs of weekend hikers? Ar… more
Go early, really early. Like, before sunrise early. Weekdays are your best bet, obviously. The views are worth it, even if you're slightly sleep-deprived. As for less popular trails... that's tricky with 둔지산; it's pretty well-trodden. You might have better luck exploring some of the smaller mountains in the surrounding area – research some less-known peaks near Seoul. There's a lot of hiking around there. For post-hike coffee, head towards the Itaewon area. It's a bit of a trek from 둔지산, but you'll find tons of independent cafes there with amazing brews and less of a touristy vibe than some places closer to the mountain. Good luck with your hike! Hope you get your peaceful escape.
