Camping this weekend!

Yeah that is right we are going to go camping this weekend. We have owned our tent for 3 years and have used it 3 times, on the beach.

Korea goes through these periods were certain activities that are quite common in the States, takes on a huge radical following in Korea for a few years at a time. This time it is camping. I first started noticing the increase in popularity due to reality programs where celebs rough it for a couple days.

It was perhaps in 2012 I noticed more and more "camping grounds". Places with neat little partitions where people pitch their tent. Well the camping fever has increased even more. Campsites seem to be everywhere. In Korea distance is very important. People feel that traveling 300 miles is like traveling 1000 miles in America, or Canada.

Its really funny I keep trying to encourage my friend to take a trip thats like 400 kilometers round trip....every time...he saids "its too far bro". AAHGGHHGHGH

With this in mind camp ground owners know this. So they set up practically in your backyard. Ok well not like that but they are only 15-20 minutes from Gunsan.

So this week we will buy a second larger tent, 2 chairs (folding types), and some mats we can place on the floor of tent as padding. Other people are bringing other supplies so it is a team event. This week ought to be exciting preparing for the expedition that is only a stones throw distance by car. Heck the Equus won't even get a chance to stretch her legs and let her 3.5 liter V6 Roar. No its more like "Ok guys lets go!",,,short time later "We are here!" No rest stops, or bathroom breaks. scenic views where you have to call the drivers to arrange a short stop to take some nice photos.

Even so I am excited! LOL


Pictures will be coming!
