Mountain Blast

From Thursday to Saturday, we went to the mountain. The place where we stayed was very nice, a huge chalet surrounded by awesome landscapes. Unfortunately, the weather was not so good and we couldn't go hiking. Still, we did so many things that time passed very fast.

On the first day, we went to swim in a nearby river. Blackie showed us a nice spot close to a fall. Since it was raining like crazy, nobody brought their camera but we were quite lucky... When we arrived, somebody was taking pictures of the fall and Diana asked him if he could take a few of us and send them by e-mail. Here's one of them ^_^ (Marc and Youngsam were also there but they didn't feel like swimming)

On the second second day, we played a huge team game. The teams were as follow:

TEAM 1               TEAM 2     

Youngsam             Blackie         

Marc                     Diana          

Daniel                    Jon        

me                        Max J.

                             Max B.   

The idea was to play various games using these teams and to accumulate points. In the end, the losing team has to go through a punishment. Both teams agreed on drinking a cauldron of beer mixed with soju ^_^. 

The first game was foot volleyball. We played on a tennis court and it was pretty dark, but still quite fun. Team 1 won 2-0 and gained 1 point. 

The second game was quite original. A lightning game from the Korean Baduk League was starting at 9pm and Diana had a nice idea. Team 1 had to guess black moves and Team 2 had to guess white moves. The first team to reach 40 good guesses wins. It was pretty close, but team Team 2 won and the score was now 1-1.

Game 3 was funny, Blackie and Younsam both had a list of words (animals, sports and baduk terms) and they had to explain them to their team, in English. The team who guessed the best won. Team 2 won again and the score was now 1-2.

Game 4 was harder, but even funnier. A member of each team chose a sentence in Korean. The goal was to pronounce it well enough so that it reaches the last teammate unchanged, or at least not too much. We also did the same with french sentences. Team 1 did a bit better and the score was now 2-2.

Needing a deciding game, Diana proposed that we  play arm-wrestling. We played Nongshim cup style (winner stays). Jon showed some power by crushing everybody in team 1 except me. Then, I won against Max Joncas and Blackie, forcing them to drink the huge bowl of soju.

Finally, here's a short a short video of the surroundings I took before leaving:

The next day, Marc was leaving for the EGC. Since he comes back after we go back to Canada, we bought a Bee Character Chocolate Cake for him ^_^.

Very good cake from Paris Baguette 

No, this post is not over yet ! After Marc left, Daniel Max Joncas and I went to explore Sanbon a bit. It seems that unconsciously we were heading toward the mountain. We found a random hiking trail, and climbed for about 1h30. Here's what it looked like ^_^ :

Since we had no clue we would climb a mountain, we didn't bring anything to drink... So when we came back from the mountain, we bought beverages as soon as we could. Daniel chose a particularly interesting one :
