My aunt has a
timeshare condo in a province about 50 miles east of Seoul. The area is
beautiful! It’s full of farmlands, rice fields, trees, valleys, mountains. The air was always scented with pine or good ole earth, while the roads were often lined with cosmos flowers, both landscaped and wild.
Kangwondo is a major shift from the bustle and compactness of Seoul. It’s easier to just “be” than “do” out in the country ^^
The condo is part
of a ski lodge/golf resort (see the ski lift on the course?), but we just went out there to relax and to grub.
No it's not me. I'm a photographer, not a playa.
Speaking of grub, I ate what was easily
the best beef of my life. It’s domestic Korean beef, raised locally and
organically. You select the cut yourself, and grill it without marinade. You
then wrap it in lettuce, daikon, roasted garlic clove, salt and sesame seed and
shove it in your mouth. I nearly wept. Even the best ribeye steak could not
compare with this experience. Sorry K-Town Pride, the motherland wins.
Wouldn't be Korean bbq without the scissors and the vacu-suck vent (it's been upgraded here by the way, it's now moveable!)
Oh, and this is my favorite visor sighting, bar nun:
