The objective of this trip was to do some hardcore rafting, hardcore socializing, and then of course hardcore river trekking. Turns out the only hardcore thing was the socializing. We may be able to attribute soju to encouraging the antics, however, it was a very good time whilst eating Korean BBQ and kimchi.
Rafting was interesting, somewhat fun, and somewhat not dangerous. Our guide told us that someone had died three weeks before we arrived on the rapids, but I think he was probably just trying to get our blood flowing. Also, he decided to put all seven of our crew on a very tiny rock and let us balance ourselves for about 10 minutes. That may have been one of the more interesting moments of rafting.
I had never been River Trekking before this trip, but it was really fun and much different from hiking a mountain. At all times you could look up and see the surrounding mountains, which were very steep. At various points there were nice jumping spots were we all took a plunge.
I've been thinking recently that it may actually be fun to see other parts of Korea more often. I may take some kind of road trip through Korea. I'll have to wait on that one.
