Not long ago, one of my co-teachers took me to Baegun Lake via car. Whenever I'm in a car in South Korea, I completely lose my concept of direction, so I hadn't a clue how we had gotten there. All I could remember was that it seemed far.

A few days ago I ventured out just a little bit further than usual on my bike and, voila, I was at the lake once more! It was perfect because driving the circumference of the lake had not been all that special, but biking around it gave me a bit more appreciation for the area. I discovered that the metal wire fence I had seen during my last visit does not actually suround the entire lake, just a small section of it. WHEW!
