Mt. Wolchulsan National Park

Mt. Wolchulsan National Park is located in Jeollanam-do. Wolchulsan was designated Korea’s 20th national park in 1988, and is South Korea’s smallest national park. The name Wolchulsan denotes “mountain where the moon rises”. The “Cloud Bridge” (구름다리) is a 52-meter-long suspension bridge, 120 meters high. The five of us hiked to the Cheonhwangbong Peak (809m above sea level) which is located at the center. The entire area was filled with rocky mountains and breathtaking peaks. There were narrow and beautiful waterfalls along the way, unusually shaped rocks, rugged terrain and steel stairways (52m steel bridge spanning two ridges) that practically led up to heaven. It was a challenging strenuous and worthwhile climb! The only thing that would have made this day reach perfection is bungee jumping off that amazing orange bridge.

Korean campground. The tents were set up on, what looked like large platforms. The nature trail was 10 feet away from the grounds.

We did it!

Kindergarten Performs
Edu Best kindergarten classes perform mini-dramas twice a year. Last year my students performed an “Under the Sea” themed skit, while this year a new set of students performed “The Lion King!” The kids had a great time rehearsing and performing and of course I was so very proud of them for their efforts and showing off their natural talents! Here they are wearing their lion king headbands.


Paul was so proud to represent Pumbaa

I’m going to miss my favorite students when I leave.

Love,

Heather
