I also had a friend from Japan, a Japanese language instructor, who was teaching at a university there, so I visited her a few times. Enough to get a feel for the laid-backness of the place. <br /><br />Kuryongsan National Park, one of the "lesser" national parks, is nearby and makes for a nice getaway.kushibohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10306033998028548550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869680.post-47996893406715120232009-11-26T02:48:13.399+09:002009-11-26T02:48:13.399+09:00Edward wrote:

It would be boring if all the cities were like that, but it's nice to have at least one.kushibohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10306033998028548550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869680.post-75247738909455646152009-11-26T01:29:37.431+09:002009-11-26T01:29:37.431+09:00Good thing it's not in Seoul...
