First, amongst a sort driver who could receive got us until the junction betwixt Jinbu together with Pyongchang. Then some other lady until inwards front end of her son's schoolhouse together with go amongst a grouping of guys who only had luncheon + soju who sanely drove us until Pyongchang's omnibus station.

So what nosotros did was, nosotros quietly sneaked out from the family and hitchhiked along the light less and creepy route to Jinbu. We were lucky because nosotros got our ride immediately! The best business office was the gentlemen were a Canadian together with his Korean friend who spoke fluent English. Both of them function equally H2O subject common designer together with were designing a individual H2O subject common inwards Gangneung. I envy their job. They got to go the footing on fun assignment!
Angelica together with me - Initially our programme was to brisk walk because sitting some together with no play inwards Santisuk during wintertime made us fat. We loss count of fourth dimension together with the conditions was getting colder yesteryear the fourth dimension when nosotros realized that nosotros were together with hence far away from Santisuk. After together with hence many failed endeavor on hitchiking, all of a abrupt a farmer amongst a truck loads of tools stopped. It was funny because he was drunkard but he could even together with hence drive! I was stupid plenty to invite him to Santisuk for a loving cup of java together with afterward got a expert bashing from Nandida for beingness one. ^^ Although I couldn't empathize everything she said I knew she was concerned nigh our safety.
Angelica, Dave together with me - We decided to live kids 1 time again together with walked upward to Gyebang mountain. We hitchhiked upward to the mount amongst an former couple. They couldn't verbalize English linguistic communication but I only tried my best amongst my decent Korean repertoire which agency broken Korean..hehe.
