Sanbangsan, Jeju, South Korea
As I glanced about, I could see two birds lazily sunning themselves on the outskirts of the trail, unmindful of the silk green forest draped upon them. The leaves were in every shade of green and continued, it seemed at times, as far as the eye could see. Any holes in the greenery allowed for views of the blue hued ocean or the town below. I had heard rumors that when I reached the cave at the top of the path, views of Marado Island and Dragon Head Coast were available, in addition to the sight of the Buddhist temple located inside the tiny cubbyhole of the 10 meter cave. Sighing, I knew this spot was one of uninterruptible beauty. At that moment, melodious chords of “Baby, One More Time” gently floated up the mountain to reach my ears from the amusement ride below. Oops. Perhaps it wasn’t uninterruptible.
