Hwanseon Cave (환선굴) or "Rave in a Cave"
As part of our two-day excursion to Korea's east coast in Gangwon Province, we visited Hwanseon Cave - the largest limestone cave in Korea and one of the biggest in Asia at 8km in length. It was flippin sweet. Caves are my all-time favorite naturally occurring Earth formation and this was one of the coolest I've ever seen...









In and Around Samcheok (삼척시)
Samcheok is a quiet little town in Gangwon Province on the East Coast....we found an awesome fish market (fresh as hell and beats the pants off the one in Seoul...in my humble opinion), a funky early 90s bridge, a great beach, and an incredible jimjilbang. We were the ONLY wayguken we saw all weekend - got tons of stares from the locals but the people here were exceptionally friendly and went out of their way to help us when we were lost (which was often).




I guess they were staging a coup...
