Stoned View Photo: The view of the east section of Seoraksan (소락산) National Park from near the highest point of the mountain. Coincidentally, that would be the area of the park my now jiggly legs forbade me to go. At this point in the journey, I'm exhausted, hungry, and aching for a hot cup o' joe. For those of you that think traveling is - wait for it - a stroll in the park, I can doubly assure you, often it's not and the main reason I punish my achy breaky body is for the possibility of that next halfway decent photo.

Cormorant Fishing Photo: Tethered cormorants used for fishing in the old days. A fisherman lightly ties a string around the bird's neck which prevents caught fish from being swallowed. The fisherman retrieves the lodged fish from the bird's throat. Nowadays, cormorants are displayed mainly for tourist photos.
