We tried to wake up on Monday morning on time for breakfast, but we didn't feel like getting out of bed. We did manage to get out of bed on time for check out however.
Monday was children's day so children did not have to go to school. We left the hostel not really knowing what we should do. We heard some drums playing and decided to check out what they were. We were excitedly greeted and encouraged to eat the free food they had provided. We stumbled upon a church festival for children's day. The people did not speak a whole lot of English but they tried to explain what was going on and ask us questions along the way.
We found out we were in the area where children's day first started. We also were at the site of the first ever missionary in Korea. They gave us books explaining this...in English. The food they fed us, while I am unsure what it was, was very tasty. They also made us little baggies of cherry tomatoes, mandu and something else that I do not recall. I ended up giving my baggies to the other 2 as I do not care for any of them.
After we said our good byes we decided to do a walk that we had read about in the daily planet guide book. We ended up walking for hours and eventually came to a mountain which we climbed. The mountain was a decent height, and we got some pretty good pictures of Seoul from a top it. It was also nice to just chill on it.
After spending time atop the mountain (I will post the name of it later, and perhaps try to steal some pictures from my buddy and post them as I did not take any pictures) we hopped on the subway to the bus station. We took the bus home in order to save a little money. It was an awesome and exhausting trip.
