Daejeon has its moments: Skyline, Puppy, and An Unfortunately Named Lasik Center

A Daejeon neighborhood viewed from a hiking trail in the mountains

The mountains have a nice pine forest cover

Fall weather is pleasant and, unlike summer, dry

outdoor workout center, piled rocks

solar-powered light on trail

a lot of the city is flat, but this one is quite steep.  it's near a mountain.  note the excessive, ugly power lines everywhere

green fencing marks the start of the forest park area on the mountain where the trail is located

Many translations here are remarkably poor.  This lasik eye surgery center is called "Came Seeing."  A better translation might be "Left Seeing."  :)

There are a lot of broad avenues in addition to narrow crowded neighborhood streets.  These broad avenues do often have bike lanes in the middle of the sidewalk.  Beware speeding motorcycles and grouchy hunched over women with carts on the sidewalks

Seed husk or hedgehog?

Scott and I often eat a little restaurant/coffee house called "Pumpkin."  We love their chicken curry sandwich and the sweet potato latte which may sound gross but it's actually quite tasty.  The owners are really likable.  This puppy belongs to one of the owners.  It has the softest fur.

Scott LOVES this puppy

I once saw this puppy almost run over by a careless driver.

Nice parking job!
