Maple time in Korea - Tanphun!

Walking through Bukhansan National Park (북한산) in Seoul and the surrounding Gyeonggi province, I tell how I had an accident and sold a motorcycle.

Those who have seen stories from a week ago know, of course, that mountain sheep are found in the Moon Rock National Park (Woraksan). And binoculars are found too, in which you need to look at the rams. As a decent tourist, I, of course, looked through binoculars; but did not see the rams in it.

But, about happiness! I saw a live ram about 50 meters from me in the forest. However, he also saw me and rode off like a sheep; therefore, I can’t give you any proof of the existence. Unfortunately.

A pleasant walk through the Woraksan mountains ended with a fairly quick retreat, the last kilometer - already in pitch darkness along a stream, babbling nearby. And then I met another ram; at least judging by the noise made by this brute, it was a ram. True, I could not see it. Probably came to drink. (It’s a bit dry in the mountains, so my advice to you is - if you are in the Woraksan mountains, look for a stream - the rams will eventually have to go out to drink, then you will see them. Or hear)

Then there was a delicious dinner in the restaurant at the bottom of the mountain; with the players at the next table. In the village at the foot of Woraksan there is a pretty decent football field. The footballers have already succumbed well after the game; due to the fact that I was driving, I could not join them. However, they were not invited. The host rolled out in front of me a set with panchan snacks (in Korea, you order one dish, which is served by default with a bunch of snacks; in Seoul, now this pile is approaching 1-2; but in North Chuncheon province at the foot of Woraksan they give 8! All the pleasure is approx. $ 8

We said goodbye to the hostess and the footballers, and I drove off on the sly. 50 kilometers from the nat. park, from the side of the road without warning a passenger car set off in a direction perpendicular to my straight-line movement, not paying any attention to me, and briskly began to make a U-turn. So briskly that I could not stop. In general, there is happiness:
That the motorcycle was badly damaged. The mechanic said either a motorcycle or a motorcyclist. Haha.
The camera was not damaged, despite the fact that I did a somersault in the air through the car and landed on my back - there was a camera down in my backpack.
I only have a bruised right arm. So I didn't write all week. It seems to have passed more or less.
Achievements:
DPS friends in the Korean hinterland periodically call and admire my flight (from the video of the black box of the killer car). They invited me to come in to investigate them, but, as an exception, they allowed me to be interviewed by phone (the accident site is about 200 km from Seoul)
I got to know the work of Korean insurance on my own skin.
Motik sold at the price of "sise" (average for unbeaten); the difference in the repair that bought it was covered by the insurance.
