Fall Leaves & Hotteok

Fall in Korea has come and gone in the blink of an eye, but I did get the chance to go out one day and enjoy the fall colors. I went out to Manin mountain with some co-workers and their kids where we enjoyed a lovely hike around the forest. This place is also popular in the spring for viewing cherry blossoms.







I love all the bright colors. There's a kind of tree, known for their fall colors, that has been planted all over Korea. They're known for turning a bright yellow color in the fall. They drop a cherry-like fruit that smells awful when crushed, but th e appearance outweighs the smell.

This place is very well known for their hotteok (fried pancake with a brown-sugar and nut filling).

Yummy hotteok!


 There was a lovely pond right next to the hotteok place. This view is from a walkway up in the air where you can get a nice view of the area.
