I see it mentioned often enough on Dave's when people are listing off the attractions this city has to offer, that there are a few small mountains for hiking. So spill the beans, citizens of Bucheon. Where are these mountains, what are the best ones and how do I get there?

There's a little park near the foreigner's ghetto if I remember correctly with the typical hideous neo-modern sculpture garden and a trail up a small mountain. Lots of vicious dogs near the bottom. Enjoy.

I tend to head towards the sports stadium from Sosa station then strike off on one of the paths on the right. Quite a few walking paths around there (Wonmisan Mountain if you want to look it up on a map).

Bucheon kids are no worse than other cities' kids. If you teach in the rich area, expect snobs.

Yep, the kids I teach are great. Now, the parents on the other hand....

Rich parents are the worst. They complain for anything.

One day one kid was mouthing off the other kids. One kid fired one back at him and he got upset. I smiled and got a complaint for that.
