This was an awesome weekend in South Korea. First we went to Seoul and spent the night in the city and then headed out in the morning to go to the Northwestern part of Korea which hardly has any cities. After a few hours we were in the middle of the mountains and started setting up the paragliding. I made the typical mistake of not bringing any sunscreen and being under the direct sun for under ten hours. Which resulted in one of the worst burns of my life that took way too long to recover from. Of course my students were horrified by my red and peeling body which was a bit entertaining. But the actual paragliding was a lot of fun and totally worth the trip. Each of us had several chances to go down the mountain by ourselves. I managed to only fall and make myself look like a fool one time which was a major accomplishment. Who wouldn't want to learn how to fly?
