Satisfied taking picture in the top of mountain, I go down for tasting some food or something which make me warm. Beside hiking and trekking you can also skiing in ski resort during winter season, but unfortunatelly I can't skiing so I just sit watching people playing ski while eating my tteokbokki. Or if you won't play ski, you can build snowman with your family here :)
