Last Friday one of the former foreign teachers (J) from our Hagwon came back for a visit. On Saturday, even though he had never met us, he invited us up to nearby Chiak Mountain with him to check out some of the temples. We had planned to check out the basketball game, but we already felt kind of guilty for not seeing the mountain sooner. J was a really nice guy and it was great having someone with similar experiences to vent with. On our second attempt up the mountain by car we managed to find one of the paths to some of the temples. After hiking for a mile or so we came to crossroads where we could have gone another mile to a larger temple or try this one. We decided on the smaller one since it seemed to be getting dark quickly. Most of the hike wasn't too steep until you came to the last few hundred meters, where the incline seemed to double. C stayed at the bottom while J and i headed up to check it out. We were met by a barking dog who almost seemed to be guarding the temple, which was a little creepy. We only stayed for a short while and took a few pics, before heading back into the quickening sunset. We had a really good day and being able to bitch about things was something we both really needed.
