Mt. Naejangsan Hike and Tea Making Trip

Korea....I cannot believe that I have been in Korea for almost four months. The sights here are just unlike any I have ever experienced. Here I am in a traditional tea making village at the top of an expansive tea field. The countryside seems to go on forever, it was a beautiful fall day and I'm meeting such incredible and interesting people with a similar desire to explore the world. I can still remember the fresh sweet smelling scent of a top notch tea I was able to sample. The aroma filled the air, and the flavor delightful. I was able to hike Naejangsan Mountain during this trip and climb on top of a wall that completely encircled a traditional korean village complete with straw houses (for the poor people) and houses with thatched roofs (for the aristocrats). The view on top of the wall overlooked the countryside that stretched on for miles. I am so thankful for this experience and am loving korea even more with each passing day.
