| 12 km is a l-o-n-g walk, especially around that course. This is for people who are in shape. Just an observation. |

| No, not really. I was not in shape when I lived in Korea and thats only 7.5 miles. That is about a 2-3 hour walk for most people and if you have lived in Korea for more than a few weeks you should be used to walking that an average weekend day unless you live in a taxi. I once walked from Songpa to Nowon. My kids always asked me, "Teacher you walk so much, but you are still fat. Why?" LOL. Good Times. |

Why is every event in Korea an "International" event?
What's the difference in Korea between just an event and an "International" event.
Are they going to fly in Internationally famous walkers from around the world?
It's only walking, what next? the International sleeping event, the International scratch your bum event? |

I never thought of it that way! I always get excited when things are called the "International Such-and-Such"... wow, I'm gullible. |

It is international. There will be Koreans there, and even if I'm the only one to show, there will be foreigners as well. Two nations -> international.
I would also participate in a scratch your bum event, and perhaps a sleeping in public event.. sleeping in public being, of course, blacking out. |
