The terrain along the first half of Section 16 is pretty similar to the second half of Section 15. It's another up and over. The highlight of this section though is the views of the Seomjin River, which are about the best along the entire trail so far. (Visit in...
We spent a night at a pension in this valley with friends back in 2006. At the time, I barely knew where we were; now I know the area like the back of my hand. I'd been having trouble getting the kids to go with me on these hikes but...
Myunghee's brother's wife's mother died yesterday and so we made a quick trip down to Cheongju to pay our respects. It was the first time I've done the bowing thing (though not my first time expressing my condolences in the form of a cash gift) but the short ceremony went...

Myunghee's official name is "Myungsuk" and her family name is "Yoo", so this restaurant "Yoo Myungsuk" is named after her (or the owner whose name is evidently the same). And yes, chickens don't have ribs, but they still call the dish served here "chicken ribs".
