56km later...

I have made the "wild" decision of walking from my school to my apartment.

Doesn't sound like a big deal, does it?

Well, my school is three towns over from the town where my apartment stands tall. It's about a ten minute car ride, but by foot...it's a little under two hours.

It's a wee bit of a walk.

And by wee bit, I mean a little over 8km (~5 miles).

But! Despite my legs and feet being angry with me by the time I get home, I don't really regret the walk. It's nice to just walk in nature, which is almost what I'm doing. Just on a paved road...with cars passing by...rather closely...God, I wished there were more sidewalks in rural Korea.

I digress.

Nature! So, I get to walk along the foot of many mountains as I make my way back to Geochang, seeing the Korean countryside for realsies. All those glimpses I get when on a bus or carpooling with my host mom has prevented me from really getting a real look of the Korean rural life.

Apparently, that also means my student's parents see me walking on the side of the road. I wonder how long it'll take until all my students know and they start questioning me on my sanity? I mean, more than usual.

A lot of the staff are so quick to stop and offer me a ride when they see me on the side of the road. The thought that I willingly walk back to Geochang is mindblowing.

Therefore, I even took the time to take pictures on my walk. I hope you enjoy the views as much as I did!
