Pancake Breakfast /Hike to Chungyulsa : May 30, 10am-1pm (We've had to delay it from the 23rd many places are forecasting rain for Sunday). Please RSVP so we can make sure there is enough for all to eat :)  Our location is near Myun-nyun-dong subway station/Dongnae area.

We'll have a pancake breakfast with blueberry syrup, hash browns/eggs/veggies with Cajun seasoning, juice, etc. at 10am that will for sure fill you up (basically all you can eat within reason) for our scenic hike to Chungyulsa Shrine stopping along the way a couple times to enjoy the nice views of Busan, see a small park with demonstrations of ancient Korean scientific innovations and end at Chungyulsa which is one of the most interesting memorials in Busan Along the way is also one of the best rock climbing walls I've seen in Busan (see it here here: http://www.koreaontherocks.com/climbing/gallery.php?area_id=159&view=1). It's free, but climbing shoes are required.)

Chungyulsa is quite a scenic terraced monument to Koreans defending their country against Japan. It has paintings of the battles with English speaking tour guides explaining what happened, replicas of ancient Korean style schools, a fish pond, walking trails, a memorial to those who fought to defend Korea and other things like that.

The hike itself takes around ~40-50 minutes + however long people want to stop at the different sites along the way. It's quite a nice short hike along with some good food, all put on by the GIFT ministry.  Hope we see Sunday!

COST: 3,000 won/2,000 won for children (some sponsors are now helping a bit, so we reduced the price :) ).

IMPORTANT: Please RSVP if you are coming to join us so we can make sure to have enough for all to eat :) in either of these ways by 8:30pm Saturday night (the 22nd):

DIRECTIONS: By subway, go to Myun-nyun-dong station. Go out exit 4. Go right a few meters, then turn left down the first alley/street. Go about 4 blocks till you hit a big road. Then turn left and go about 5-6 blocks.  Look for the SK apartments on your right. We're just in front of those at the 동내 교회, 2nd floor. It's about a 10 minute walk  (If you've gone past the ACE 침대 store on the left or a gas station on the left, you've gone too far. We're just a bit before those.)

See the 1st 4 pictures at this website for pictures of the route and bus #s you can take. The blue dot in the picture is where we are.
