Paul Scott Mowrer said "There is nothing like walking to get the feel of a country. A fine landscape is like a piece of music; it must be taken at the right tempo. Even a bicycle goes too fast."
That makes us feel better about not owning a car or a bike! We are definately moving at the right tempo. Now if our feet just wouldn't hurt after the 3plus mile walk we wouldn't miss our wheels quite so much.
We decided to check out the hill two blocks down the road from our apartment and we found all kinds of things to take pictures of hiding behind the trees along the street. The pictures on this post and the post below are of recap our walk.
Koreans make the parks their neighborhoods and back yards. I guess the advantages are no mowing, weeding, watering or maintaining your outdoor space. You just have to be willing to share it...and clean up after your dog along the way.

I just love the guided tours you give us. This is amazing.
I think the public outdoor exercise equipment is interesting and I never even thought about you guys not having a car there until now. I know you mention the trains/subways and walking, but I didn't think about it being your only choice.
Is Lyle enjoying his job?
Looks like so much fun! We have had two warm days in a row! We are really exicted.
I love going to your blog and seeing your pics that you post!! Love them!
I am soo jealous. It looks like postcard material. Does it feel like you've been on vacation too long?
The park is beautiful! It kind of makes our public parks seem a little lame. I have enjoyed seeing your experiences over there.
