Goat & mokoli village + a mini rant

Less talk:::more rock:: at least that's what blogger is telling me. As I have mentioned, blogger has some new weird thing with the formating which makes it terribly annoying and more than slightly difficult to comment on individual pictures. This being so I am most likely going to be typing less (not that I did too much to begin with) than usual on my photos and adventures. Perhaps I should look into switching servers. But judging by my never changing, not that wonderful blog design and layout as well as recent lack of post, I don't see that happening anytime soon. Sorry, keep in mind I would be commenting more and filling you in on details if blogger didn't bite the big one with this change. For now you will have to wonder things like, "Why are there so many pictures of cows?" or "What is that dog doing?'-- (answer ps- you never EVER see cows in Korea- and yet milk and beef is everywhere, two- Alex misses his mom while we dine on mokoli and pajeon) If you have a question, feel free to ask! And curses to you blogger for making my life more complicated than in already is!

Continuing on to the real fun...

Sansung Village known for it's goat meat and fresh mountain mokoli! We hiked (we skipped have and took the cable car half way then hiked the rest) up a mountain to a tiny and jaw-droppingly beautiful, mountain village. It was Children's day-- so we figured 'hey, eat a kid for the kids!' This town was so beautiful and as I found out, only a 20min bus ride from Busan! I wish I lived there! Maybe someday.... it was soooo beautiful. The pictures don't give it justice. Being in the mountains and country like that. Oh man, I was in love. And it gets even better, a man whom my friends met at a mokoli tour and making class the weekend before invited us to his HOUSE for this goat! We ate a goat fresh from his farm! What hospitality! His place was also host to other cultural activities such as pottery and clay work. It was neat to see the many projects around the place. Gardens and ponds, farm animals, the sun setting in the mountains, lanterns all over for Buddha's birthday! Man this was one amazing trip!!
