It appears the Jeff from Ruminations in Korea is back to regular blogging after a long hiatus. He has a post I got a good laugh out of. He talks about the new Seoul Forest Park. This park has been featured pretty heavily on the Korean news lately with video of the trees, deer, and other animals at the park. What I didn’t realize was that your not allowed to go in it:

Seoul Forrest is 1/3 the size of central park. Also, one portion of the park, which is actually broken up into 5 smaller parks, “is an ecological forest filled with a variety of trees such as chestnut, pine, and cherry with animals like squirrels, deer and elk. Visitors are not allowed to enter the area, but they can enjoy the nature from the observatory bridge which crosses over the forest.

Welcome to the park. Don’t go in. I’m wondering how long it will be before we see a TV news magazine program about some guy who got all liquored up on fire water and broke into the Enchanted Magical Forbidden Forest (or whatever they call it) so he can poach himself an Elk or three.

It is pretty sad when you have to build walk ways over your parks because you know if you let people in them they will just trash it.
