Re-discovering the local hood
Although we've been here for 3 months, a lack of English info means that we are having to rely on wandering to discover what is in our local area. On a recent walk we were amazed to find a hillside of corn, pear trees, chillis and countless other crops growing in small market gardens. Apparently you can lease small plots of land to grow your own fruit and vegetables. A walk through this area feels a million miles from the city.

The other find was a new park that has opened behind the local council building. There is a great mosaic wall and waterfall, plus the obligitory exercise equipment.

I left a comment yesterday but it didn't work so I will try again. I am a little upset that you are finding all of these great places AFTER I have left. In your defence though, I suppose that we did visit very shortly after you arrived in Seoul. You know though how much I LOVE mosaic!

Glad Dad didn't see the mosaic wall - I'm sure he would have taken up the challenge and taken forever.
