fall

The Mommas and the Papas dreamt for the sunny delights of California as the leaves turned brown and the sky turned gray. They spoke for their generation of idealists and dreamers who yearned for something different during the radical 60s. I don't dream of a different place -- not currently, anyway. Some say that Korea's fall is incomparable to any other. I haven't been to too many places, but I'm most inclined to agree. Autumn in Seoul has been like stepping into a drama -- it's the perfect setting. When you can find a road lined with trees, the colors are amazing. Hiking during the fall in Korea is highly, oh-so-highly, reccommended. You'll be lucky to catch a moment when the wind blows and the leaves begin their graceful, swirling, last descent. It's truly magical.
