If you ever get the chance, hike up Mt Soraksan, about 3 hours north of Seoul by bus, on early autumn and just take in the colourful view of the countryside and mountainside. An easier way would be to ride a cable car to go up and walk the rest of the way up to the top. It can be quite windy at the peak and you can rest by sitting on the rocks/boulders around. Nice view, too, of the flame-coloured trees all around.The food! Authentic bibimbap [the trick is to mix everything well - the rice, veggies, pickled leaves, egg. Great during a cold winter's day and with hot sake. Then there's kalbi and it's great wrapped in lettuce leaves and topped with kimchi. During summertime, try a big bowl of cold buckwheat noodles - refreshing! Then good ol chapchae, the glass noodles with an attitude! :) Of course, all these must be taken with kimchi on the side. A good Korean meal is not just complete without it.
