Sell Your Seoul Trip 3 - Day 10 - Snowboarding at Phoenix Park, Korea
My last day of adventures was exciting! We headed to Phoenix Park for snowboarding. The resort is about two hours east into the mountains so I got to see the countryside for the first time, very pretty.
Coming from Colorado you'd think that I was a Snowboard expert, but it's quite the opposite. I'd only been boarding one time before this, which was ten long years ago, and it wasn't pretty. Sang in however had never been, so we'd be learning together.
Luckily we got an instructor; I didn't want to go home with any broken bones. Jane spoke perfect English and patiently taught the two rookies how to carve, turn and fall...yes; there is a method to the falling. "Don't brace yourself with your wrists Ryan!"
After perfecting our skills on the bunny slopes with all the kiddies we headed up the hill. As I sat next to Sang in on the chairlift it looked like he has seen a ghost. I don't think he realized that the mountain was so steep. It was a big change from the friendly bunny slopes.
We actually made it down somewhat gracefully and Sang in was so excited that we went right back up. I never dreamed that I'd be snowboarding in Korea this January but it was so much fun. Maybe I'll have to skip Aspen and make this my new winter get away.
Sell Your Seoul Trip 3 - Day 9 - Mexican Dinner at Kunggakongga Restaurant
Seoul is a big metropolitan city and you can get any kind of food from all over the world. Up until this point though, I had only tried Korean food and I was itching for something familiar. If there's one thing I like as much as bikes, it's beans!
Sang in made arrangements for us to eat at a Mexican restaurant and I was overjoyed. It actually turned out to be an African restaurant but they did have a list of Mexican dishes as well. Talk about fusion....or CONfusion.
I ordered Anchiladas, my favorite African/Mexican dish :) I live on Mexican food at home so this was a real treat for me. I've loved the Korean food I've been eating all week but its fun to mix it up.
They get an 'A' for effort on the Anchiladas but I think I'll stick with the Kimchee and Squid Pancakes from now on. It actually tasted ok, and I really liked the spot of macaroni on the side, I never knew macaroni was Mexican.
Sell Your Seoul Trip 3 - Day 9 - Cycling at Jungnangcheon - Hangang Park - Seoul Forest
I've been looking forward to this day all week because today was BIKING day! If you know me well, then you know I love bikes!
We headed down to the Han River and rented a few bikes for a nice Saturday cruise along the water. Seoul takes pride in its bike program and offers up FREE bike rentals!
I chose a nice lime green cruiser to match my jacket. Sang in laughed at my choice, saying that it was a girl's bike. But after showing him how cool my bike was with its cushy seat and front basket, he decided to go with a bright pink cruiser.
Leaving our macho manhood behind, we set off on a little ride. Riding bikes brings back wonderful childhood memories and there's no better feeling. Ringing bells and feeling the wind in your face is just about the best thing in the world.
We pedaled along the river to the Seoul Forest, which didn't turn out to be very foresty. It's a big set of parks with different gardens, each specializing in different plants. I'm sure that it's spectacular in the summer but with all the snow cover it was all covered up. Guess I'll have to come back in June.
I could have ridden all day but unfortunately the bicycles were turning into icicles so we called it a day and headed out for lunch.
