I went hiking up Dobongsan, a mountain in northern Seoul, with my friend Yonghwa and this group called Meet-Up.
We started around noon. The group was headed by a guy named Michael. I met a number of interesting people to talk with. Often during the week, becaues I'm teaching ESL kids and working with a mostly Korean staff, my English is limited to what others know. When I find myself around native speakers on the weekend, I have a tendency to get really chatty. It feels like a breath of fresh air when I don't have to be too careful with how I'm saying something, like if I'm enuciating correctly, using simple and straight-forward enough grammar, or watching my vocabulary or idiom usage.
