In the last few days we've been able to finish midterms, visit an amazing aquarium, and go hiking in the beautiful South Korean mountains. The aquarium was in the Coex mall, which is the largest underground mall in Asia. They had a ton of different types of sea creatures, and though it costs $22 to get in, it was quite amazing. When we went hiking it ended up raining almost the entire time; but it was better than sweating and being really hot. The views from the top of the mountain were incredible. Even though you felt so far away from the city and everything, you could still hear cars, and sirens from the city. We were able to see about three Buddhist temples. We learned our lesson by getting too close to the first temple because a monk came out and yelled at us to leave. It was actually pretty funny, but we had no intention on trespassing on the land, we just got turned around. I actually made it all the way to the top of the mountain, and some of the hiking was really difficult, at one point we had to hold on to some little rope in order to climb across a large rock. It was all worth it and very fun, sometimes the free things are the most enjoyable.
