Are you ready? * Sixtyexpress

I know I was a reluctant starter but we are on our way to the Stans…..you know all those unpronounceable (well for me) countries with stan at the end. There are no direct flights so first stop is a night in Seoul. The funniest thing was that towards the end of the flight we were invited to exercise . Amazingly everyone did the exercises! It was quite amusing but I noticed you joined in as well. It was fun.From here it is a flight to Almaty in Kazakhstan. We then visit Krygisztan,Tajikistan, and finally Uzbekistan. It will be an adventure but since we are Seoul , let’s go for a walk.

Checking at the hotel reception, we were told there was special sights nearby so it’s off to the local park and area to check out any interesting or quirky things. The park runs as a green space between the urban area and the main roads.

Naturally you will face many dangers including wasps and snakes so be prepared. Look you can use the free bug spray and it must be effective because it appears as if the wasps have been attacking the box. We did see a dead baby snake….but no others.

It is popular and has many instruments of torture along the path to entice you to exercise. As Korea experiences cold winters, the path is covered in a thick layer of woven hemp.

There are signs showing many birds, bugs and other wildlife. Birds chirped, bugs made all sorts of bug sounds and we even heard a frog but we only saw a cat and one bird and a deer.Can you see it amongst the trees?
Children were playing in class groups in some areas. There are a few area obviously used for community activities. These have more formal gardens with perhaps a Disney theme. A tunnel under the road was painted.

Of course you stopped and smelt the roses.

Like reading, they have a reading library.

Perhaps you would like to grow vegetables near your apartment or perhaps go and meditate?

Most buildings have some sculpture outside.

Quirky signs?

My feet are sore….do yours need a rest. Let’s have a cold drink. Time to wait at the hotel for the transfer to the airport.Next stop the start of the Stans.
