Hangin' Out in Bundang



Recently we have discovered a suburb about 20-30 minutes drive from our place that has become our favourite place to hang out. The main reason being that we have two choices of places that serve a real breakfast – actual bacon and eggs and real pancakes and waffles. This may not seem like a big deal, but in a land where there is no effort to distinguish between what foods should be eaten at what time of the day this is quite a treat. I still can’t face a bowl of noodles first thing in the morning – sure I can go a hot dog with bacon and onion or a kebab at 3 am, but noodles at 7am; that’s just ridiculous! Another thing we love about this area of town is Central Park – it’s central, and it’s a park! This is actually a beautiful place to hang out and fill in a day. I’m pretty sure it’s also the only place in the world that has a fully equipped gym at the top of the hill – an outdoor gym that is. You have to hike up the trails to get to the top of the hill, and then you can have a work out. Of course it also has a phone booth at the top – very necessary. We also found a place last week that does Bungee Jumping – for only $25 who could resist. It certainly wasn’t as much fun as the last time I did it back in 1991. I think I actually screamed! We continue to discover new things in this great country, and we are now counting down until the snow season begins in about two weeks.
