I got back today from a three day teacher orientation. It was informative, but a bit redundant since i've been here for a month now. Anyhow i got back early so i walked up to this coffee shop in Pyongnae. They have house roasted, hand ground coffees, with bean selections from America, Africa and Asia. I had the Costa Rican Tarrazu, and it could have been the best cup of coffee ive ever had. I actually walked by this place before and never noticed it, so im glad a teacher friend suggested i check it out.
Next weekend is Cheousok, its like Korean thanksgiving, so we have a 4 day weekend. So ill be going on a 3 day hike at Jirisan with some of my Wisconsin friends. It has the second highest peak in Korea, somewhere over 1900m (or 6000ish feet). Now that ive gotten paid and im a won millionaire i can afford to buy some new supplies for the trip.
Very nice cup and saucer!...and spoon...and coffee you say :)
ReplyDeleteDo they deposit american dollars in your bank account?
Have fun on your hike! Are you camping in a tent?
get a bike yet?
ReplyDeletehow are the prices on stuff like hiking supplies?
ReplyDeleteno bike yet... have been doing too many other things. the prices on hiking supplies are pretty steep, all the weekend hikers i see have lots of expensive gear, like hiking shoes start at around 75 and go to 200 or so... unless you get cheap chinese stuff. i bought a pretty nice sleeping bag with a compression sack for around 50$, and a pair of ok chinese trail running shoes for 30$. i guess the park has shelters for hikers to sleep in, and they dont allow tents.
ReplyDeleteBean and Burlap. This is really nice place. I'll go there.
