Seoraksan camp site

The camp site near Seoraksan mountain was lovely but quite crowded. It is high season, and hundreds of tents were all over the place. Koreans really like to go outdoors - and bring their entire house with them. They have HUGE tents and tons of equipment.
We felt quite modest with our little MSR...



Our local chef prepared the much required dinner after the long hike:



Yep, all those cooking lessions really paid off!


BTW - we finally found the creatures that make that aweful noise in the forest. The sound is similar to cricket, but much much stronger and has a different rythm.
We found one near our tent, but the picture isn't that good (maybe if you click and zoom in you will be able to see the little monster) :

Shay that food looks delicious! By the way I think that insect is a Cicada(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cicada). They make the loudest sound in the insect world:) It's the sound of Australia in summer time.

Thank you Brooke, that was very informative. And a little repulsive.
