Welcome to KOREA IN THE CLOUDS

ANNOUNCEMENT (Oct. 28, 2010): KOREA IN THE CLOUDS IS MOVING INTO A NEW HOME! My name is Alex and I compiled the information available on this site. I moved away from Korea in 2008 and no longer have any way to augment the info here, but have heard from a lot of people who use this site. I'm shutting this blog down soon, but don't worry--Korea in the Clouds will live on through another blog, managed by a hiker still living in Korea. As soon as that new site is available, you will find links to it from this page. Cheers!
