hiking indoors

So the family is working on the whole bonding thing. As of now, we're just all getting old and fat together (eating late at night). But when I came I told my step-dad I wanted to go hiking with him. He's in a club, they usually go on Tuesdays. He usually probably walks with his club like 5 hours but sometimes they push it and go 7 (which would usually include lunch and an hour nap). But he has gone 12 hours at Sorak Mountain. So yeah, figured best bonding would be to do something he enjoys. He gets bored easily, especially when he's not keeping busy so I figured what could be more perfect?

Well, it hasn't happened yet...but there are more talks about going and the guilt is getting to him. We're looking at this weekend but it'll probably rain. My plan B is...there's a hiking channel on the cable and you can watch whichever episode of hiking that you want. I say we watch something good, let it get engraved into our brains, then we can take the elevator down to the first floor (even with some backpacks and water), and then climb the stairs up with the images in our minds and come back down and then take the elevator home and eat yummy meat that we cook on a little portable gas range, turn the TV onto one of those mountain scenes and pause it and eat and bond. Good idea, right? I think it would be good.

Anyways, the regular TV is gone so it's like the end of the world over here. Grandma is bored to death but she's pretty old and lived a while before TV was even invented. Maybe she's forgotten those days. It's kind of pitiful, but she feels bad anyway (her back) and is chilling in her room, but it's sad because she doesn't have TV to entertain her...

Well, it's just like one evening, I think we'll all survive.

dude, craziness. maybe you could buy a Wii and do virtual hiking with Mario. anyways...you are hilarious. when i think of hiking in Korea, i always remember those shows when they would find pure water in the mountain and drink from their gourd like ladles...
