our house is at the base of buramsan. the university has a fence surrounding the property, so we're suppose to walk 40 minutes through campus, onto a busy street, and around apartment complexes to get to a trail literally right in front of our house. but...

we found a little shortcut. just up some steps, we crawl through a large gap in the fence, and voila! on the main trail! 

can't believe we live at the base of a mountain. the first of many hikes up buramsan.
