Fred and I decided to meet this past weekend. We chose to make a little vacation out of it and met in a city about half way between Pohang and Suji called Daejeon. It took me about an hour and 40 minutes to get there and it took Fred a little over 2 hours.
We both got there around 10pm on Friday and headed out for a late dinner. As we were walking it started to snow! Our first snowfall in Korea. We ended up having chicken and tons of side dishes for dinner.
On Saturday we headed to a very important temple, Beobjusa, about an hr away from Daejeon. It is in Mount Sogri National Park. The largest Buddha in Asia is here. There was also a very beautiful 5 story pagoda. After walking around the snow dusted park for a while we decided to head back to Daejeon. We could not feel our hands and toes it was so cold! Once back we headed to an Italian place for dinner and out for a drink after.
Today we got up and walked around town. We shopped a little, had lunch and coffee and relaxed before we had to leave. We both took trains back, Fred leaving around 5 and me around 5:30.
It was a very fun and relaxing weekend!
