Waking up like a Korean: Sunrise Hiking & Breakfast
This event may be the last one of the year for this group. So please come join us to bring out your inner Korean!
Did you know that hiking is #1 activity amongst Koreans, both in Korea and overseas? So just for this morning, let's pretend that we're Koreans; if you're a Korean/Korean-American, let's pretend that we're in Korea.
THE WALK:
We will walk to the top of Santa Monica Mountain trail, welcome the sunrise, then enjoy the traditional Korean breakfast in the heart of Koreatown. Bring your windbreakers, walking shoes, a bottle of water, a few bucks for breakfast and your cameras to take pictures of you, of Hollywood sign on the top of the world, and of your Korean breakfast! The walk will be 40-60 minute long.
THE BREAKFAST:
If you never had traditional post-hiking Korean breakfast before, here's your chance to try it. Our KoreanLA's activity resource guru Soo Yun Kim suggested not only the trail but also introduced the restaurant we will be heading out to. I did R&D by visiting this restaurant; and I felt like I was in Korea!
IF YOU CAN'T JOIN THE WALK:
Join us at the breakfast anyway! Korean breakfast does not taste the same when not preceded by "Sunrise Hiking," so others say. So if you can, please re-consider and walk with us. Breakfast will be at about 8:30 am, give-and-take 1 hour. Please follow us on Twitter (@KoreanLA), and we will Tweet when we leave the parking lot. Note: We may "Check-in" via Meetup app too, but Twitter is faster, accurate, and all-inclusive.
IF YOU PLAN TO DRINK SOJU & PARTY THE NIGHT BEFORE:
There's nothing like Korean breakfast that can ease your hangover.
RAIN OR SHINE!
If it rains, we will choose an alternative path for a relaxing stroll before heading out for the breakfast.
RSVP is not required but strongly recommended.
Due to the restaurant's capacity, we'd appreciate if you RSVP

Google Commemorates Hangeul Nal
Google doodle today, commemorating and celebrating the 565th Hangeul Day (제525돌 한글날) on Oct 10, 2011, Korea time (http://google.co.kr).
Hangeul is the name of Korean writing system, and the day falls on Oct 10 each year.
And, of course, the message is an addition by yours truly, not by Google. :)
