Munsu Mountain, the Ongoing Saga

A couple weekends ago, our friend Anna was leaving Korea and she hadn't been up Munsu so we decided to take her on a hike. Also Ben, the new teacher who just arrived, hadn't done the hike either so it was a great opportunity to get up the mountain. It was a beautiful day as you can see.

The rice fields were being harvested on this occasion. On the less steep banks of the mountainside there are many stepped rice fields and small farms with the odd restaurant on the hillside. It was interesting to be able to see the rice growing process, from start to finish, while being here.

This season is also when Persimmon trees fruit. Persimmons are tomato-looking fruits that grow on big trees (like the one in the picture of the farmhouse). So we bought a big bag of them on our way down the mountain and have been enjoying them for the past 2 weeks.
