I went to 북한산 (Bukhansan Mountain), a mountain range on the North West side of Seoul, last Saturday with a meetup group. I met some nice people, including an US Army Engineer, a Korean Civil Engineer who works in Seoul, a couple expats working for Samsung, and a few Korean teachers. Check out the pictures.

| Near this area there were some statues hidden in the rocks representing North Korean soldiers who had been hiding in these mountains in order to assassinate South Korea's then president 박충희 (Park Chung-hee) in 1968. The assassins were discovered by a lone police officer who fought off the group of soldiers long enough to thwart their mission. The police officer died in the unsuing combat, but the North Korean soldiers were captured. |

On the way down, we cam across this Budhist Temple.
