Drum festival was absolutely awesome. I didn't realise how much I had missed the previous night by leaving for dinner, and this time a hostel mate and I stayed until the end. Later that night, a few of us went to the park and ended up at some club. Standard stuff really.
The next day, I met with a new friend for coffee and a tour around a few new places. We visited the Blue House, which as you might guess is the Korean version of the White House, and had a look around the back end of the main palace. They have some evening opening hours going at the moment which would be nice to see.
We then taxi'd up a mountain on the southern side of the city called Palgakjeong. The view was good but there was just a bit too much smog preventing us from seeing the whole city. Taking the long way down, we followed a hiking trail for about an hour before reaching civilisation again. The most astounding thing I noticed along the way were the birds. I could actually see and hear birds! I hadn't realised that I'd not heard any during my time in the city until just then. I reminisced briefly about home and carried on.
Some chips and beer rounded off the night with grand plans forming for the coming weekend.
