| My nice cosy room |
 |
| The coolest vending machine! |
Woke up on a lazy rainy Wednesday at 8:30am. Had breakfast,
did my final packing and bid Cora and Hikaru farewell. Met a couple of Thai as
well.
The weather made you reluctant to move. The rain was good enough for me cover
my backpack and kept my sling bag in the waterproof bag. Luckily I managed to
squeeze my smaller backpack inside the Deuter.
After half an hour metro ride and I reached Gangbyeon station where the bus
terminal was. It was very easy to locate. There was English sign around.
Crossed the street. Bought the ticket to Danyang for W12700 but I was
short-changed by w1000! There was still 50min before 12pm for the next bus. I
saw the fast food Lotteria again. Nothing much to do, I had my early lunch and
sat there hoping to get some wireless access. Unfortunately even the payable
one was not working.

View right in front of
the Motel |
Slept like a log in a bus!
Along the way, I saw more churches than
temples
although I thought Korean’s religion was mostly close to Buddhism.
Reached Danyang at 2:15pm. Saw an information centre nearby and got some
information on the transport to the Sobaeksan National Park’s hiking starting
spot!

Found a motel and
popped in.
The most interesting finding of the day was the vending machine which dispensed
the room key after slotting in the money!
For an extra W10000 more than the hostel rate, this motel was worth very
cent of it!
You get all the toiletries
like a hotel.
There was also a PC, free
wifi and a nice huge bed with floor heating!!

| Nice tree outside the Motel |

| It's been snowing the whole day! |
Danyang was really a nice small town! Right in front of my hotel was a small
hill with great view!
It was snowing!
I walked around to get a cap and a pair of waterproof
shoe. The guy at info center suggested a shoe with better grip. Bought some
snacks and my breakfast for the following day at a bakery.
Bought some apples
for the hike
tomorrow as well.
Hung around the town
for a while. Went back to keep my stuffs.
Idling for a while and
already started
to feel hungry at 5! Went out again thinking of
having some snack first.
Instead
, ended up having early dinner in a
small restaurant for some local rice
dish.
It was
really delicious.
I’ve forgotten the name but you basically mixed all the
vegetables with some red sauces together. After I came in, all the tables were suddenly
filled with young students one by one.

Now I missed my
backpack rain cover. Trying to looking
around the
town
for
a new one but could only find
a raincoat as the closest replacement.
Back to motel again at 6 plus. It was
still snowing.
After my shower, I hopped
over to the convenient store, Gs25 to get my coffee
for tomorrow.
Bought
an instant noodle for a heavier breakfast
too and couldn't resist the beer in the
end.

Enjoying
the rest of the night with the TV which had many
English channels and even a Chinese
one as well!
