Taejonedae Cliff Hike

We had a few days off for Lunar New Year. Which is the Chinese New Year according to the lunar calendar. Most Asian countries seem to celebrate Lunar New Year more than December 31st/January 1st. Since we had a few days off at the end of January and the weather was absolutely perfect I decided to go on a hike with Hez and the Busan Day-trippers Group. Yea, I'm not sure if you caught that Wisconsinites, it was January and the weather was in the 60's. Sometimes there are many reasons that I'm happy for living abroad and missing this years winter is one of them. Sorry for rubbing it in. I started off the day wearing my parka and ended it by just wearing a tee shirt and soaking in some sun. This hike is really beautiful and worth the subway, transfer to bus line, walk a while commute to get there. Plus its also worth the thousands of stairs you walk up and down and up and down and up and down. 
Even the stairs are quite pretty as you can tell in the picture below. The whole hike was decorated by rocks in the pavement. 


This was some sort of castle like formation on the rocky coast. It's quite picturesque. 

The sea of shipping containers. 

This is Hez and I taking in the beautiful coastline. 


HAHAHAHAHA!!!! The largest Hula Hoop I've ever seen and Hez was totally rocking it! Look at her go!!! :P

Hez looks like she should be on one of those inspirational posters in this picture! One that says"First you jump off the cliff and you build your wings on the way down." Haaaaah look at me being good at google searching inspirational quotes. 


Me feeling pretty tough at the top of a million stairs. lol. Hez kicking some yoga butt! 

An Indiana Jones Bridge! These always horrify me just a little especially when people jump on them and make you wobble on them. 


On our walk, nearing the end we ran into this man that was making all these statues and sculpture like things by the beach out of the rocks. The guy was chillen by his creations. It had to have taken him a really long time to complete these things because he did it all with balance. Hez is inside the heart with the artist himself.
