Today Barb and I went to Geumosan (geum-oh-sahn; the mountain in Gumi) with Rhonni (from Wales) and Pete (from Peterbourough). There's a gondola that spans part of the montain. We had never taken the gondola before, so once we hiked up to it we decided to take a ride. The gondola only goes partway up the mountain, but it was a nice ride nonetheless. We then hiked up to a small temple that's on the mountain and looked around. It was surprisingly peaceful for a Sunday at Geumosan. The goal of our journey was to see the waterfall at Geumosan. The last time Barb and I were there was in January, and the frozen waterfall was really cool. There's also a really cool little cave with a buddha statue in it. You have to clamour over some perilous rocks to get to it. There's a railing, however, so it's not really that dangerous. We climbed up to take a peak, but then it started raining. None of us were wearing jackets, so we didn't really want to continue up the mountain in the rain. We hiked back down and headed home, but at least we got some exercise.

Firday night was the usual drill - we went out to Club Psycho. There was a surpising number of waygooks we didn't know there. Our friend Brad from Daejeon (couple hours from Gumi) showed up and our friend Ryan's new girl (also from Daejeon) came as well. We stayed out until about 4:00am. Damn last-callless Korea.
