Bundang chillen

This post will be about my little slice of heaven: Bundang. I sometimes cannot believe how lucky I got here in Korea. Having been here a while now, I have heard many horror stories from those less fortunate in situation than me. Many people find themselves trapped in a hellhole, in a sketchy area of town with a boss that only pays them recreationally. My company is fantastic, kids are even better. And then there is my beloved Bundang. It is basically a nice quiet suburby place, with plenty of nice parks and rivers. I have had it described to me as the place to be in Korea. There is a hiking trail a few minutes from my place. It has this fantastic little temple at the base of the mountain, good place to catch your breath on the way back down. Central park is also really cool. Jon and I are to be found there most Saturdays, playing guitar. The park has some strange secrets if explored. There is an outdoor gym, not a basketball court mind you, but a full fitness centre with weight machines and treadmills. Its on the top of this little mountian so your workout is half over by the time you even hike up to it. There are also chicken coups and rabbit hutches. The best part is the plaza square. Koreans enjoy all manner of divertissment there: rollerblading, badminton, picnics and plain old quality time as well. The nicest thing about Bundang is that you can walk anywhere, and the walking iself is pure caprice.
