Suwon Hwaseong Fortress

Hello Precious People,

  

Daniel and I headed up to Suwon today again but this time actually made it and explored.  We walked around the fortress which we were told is 5.74km around.  Of course we started with going up some steep stairs and then after that we went up and down and straight to get around the whole thing.  I thought that it was pretty cool overall, nothing super special but just nice to be out and about experiencing a culture different from our own.  

We went up...

...and up...

...then we got to the top.

This is the walking point at the top where we started.

Here you can see the mountains in the background, then tall apartment buildings, then some lower level housing and buildings, then part of the wall, and then more building and housing within the wall boundaries.

They had a spot to be able to try out archery but only at certain times so we didn't try.

 

This guy seemed pretty "meh" at archery.  (1000x better than I would be I'm sure) He was hitting the grass in the distance, not the targets.

 

"Watch your head"

I liked it there.  Good exercise and decent views.  Now, the air wasn't the clearest but it is Korea after all.

So, I saw this in the bathroom.  As usual I have no idea what all it says but I'm fairly certain it has something to do with hidden cameras and people recording under girl's skirts. :-\

We'll probably head back here again because there were several other things to do.

Hope you enjoyed,
Camille
