Here in Korea, hiking is really a favourite exercise, especially of the older people. I am not really fond of any physical exertion but I am game to try some things so when I got invited to hike, I went for it. The first time was in one of the mountains here in Seoul while the second one was in Seoraksan. Both times, I was the last to reach the top. I really have a hard time going up. The more I walk, the faster I can hear my air intakes and my heart beating. I think it is because of my asthma that I have hard time breathing whenever I go on hikes and that is why I always lag behind. But despite the discomfort and lagging behind, I was able to reach the top and see the great views the mountains had to offer.
