Mt Sorak Adventures

We headed out from Seoul in two vehicles toward Mt Sorak, one of Seoul's most famous mountains, for its seafood, for its army base camp? for its maize and salted fish.

After two hours of driving, the two vehicles kinda lost track of one another and took different routes towards the resort. Still we had a great time making stops at scenic places, we thought that we were at a natural waterfall, after taking numerous shots, my eldest bro observed that its not so natural afterall, how can a water stream travel against gravity and have such a straight thin outlet??? It obviously piped up! so here's me with daddy under the fake waterfall, quite cool nevertheless.


Then we made another makan stop at a pretty popular destination which overlooks the great valley where our resort was going to be. Here we discovered yummy corn and chestnuts hee...


One evening, we decided to go and watch the waves along the coast. Interestingly, the carpark was located right infront of the shoreline where huge waves come crashing into the carpark. We parked right behind one vehicle, which was located in the "wave-spot" and watched it get a sea-wave-car-wash. It looked kinda fun from our end hee...


So then, our driver decided to inch forward to the "wave-spot" to get a cute experience of the wave splashing onto our vehicle, well, it was also the only route to get out of the area as it was a one way street. So while in the spot, we were all oogling at the magnificent waves forming into a tall wave..... before we knew it, the huge wave came crashing on us! It kinda lifted our vehicle and bounced it on the its sides for 1sec... It was definitely fun for me but not so for the older folks in the vehicle who had a shock. Hee. Hope it will strengthen their hearts. (I caught a video of the whole episode, so catch me to watch it!)

There after, we headed to eat our dinner and took a walk down the seafood area. With the slight drizzle, we all put on our rain coats and did the walk walk.

Upon entering the vehicle, my mama, decided that she should not be wearing her rain coat as it would cause some damp effect etc... so she took it off outside the vehicle and all loaded in it and returned to the resort. Guess what? She lost an earring!!! It was some pearl earring that she had on her. Argghhh... we decided to search the vehicle high and low for it. No findings. Then me, ck & joi decided to drive back to the dinner place to search for the lost earring. Yup, in the light drizzle, 3 of us bent over cars, scooped the grounds, re-traced all the steps that we took and yet, we did not manage to recover the lost earring. Sadly, we had to tell her the truth. Thankfully, she was more grateful by the effort than the actual loss. Heng ah!
