Night Hiking

One of my favorite things that I did in the month of June was to hike up a mountain at dusk and watch the city at night.  We weren't sure if this sort of thing would be acceptable, but we weren't that concerned, as by now we are all accustomed to pulling the foreigner card when needed (Step 1. arrange face to appear as if you know nothing.  Step 2. Smile and nod.  Step 3.  Walk away.)

We started by biking to the foot of the trail which was no simple task.  After a furious bike uphill for about a half an hour we started our ascent.  Much to our surprise, there were a significant amount of Koreans on the trail with us.  Let me remind you again that a Korean hiking trail is one of the steepest surfaces known to planet Earth.  

After one soaking shirt's worth of a hike, we found ourselves at the top of an observation platform looking out over all of the twinkly goodness of Daegu.  

After seeing how great it was up there, we thought it might be nice to watch fireworks from there, so last night, we did the same hike again and watched the fireworks from Camp Walker, which was directly in front of us from that platform.  

After fireworks we had an American feast which we hiked up with:  Pizza Hut, Budweiser and Oreos.  

Then we played with sparklers.

The End.
