Keeping up with the old folk.

Hi All,
Nothing too new to report here, currently the won continues to tank verses the dollar. It's 1500 per dollar. My only hope is that by the time I get to come home it stabilizes a little and gets better. It is more or less out of my hands. :( On a positive note I went out and climbed a mountain just outside of Seoul last Sunday. Seoul is surrounded by mountains and LOTS of Koreans enjoy hiking. In particular older Koreans suit up in professional style gear and go hiking. Most of it is really unnecessary but you gotta look good on the trail.... Also worth noting is that most of the climbers are pretty old, and you don't see too many young people climbing. I've seen folks that have to be 50-60 years old out there giving me a run for my money. That must explain why they are soo much thinner than us.... Also In typical Korean style, a lot of the men drink while hiking, or take breaks to have Soju (typical korean alcohol) shots during the climb. Nothing like drinking and climbing.
