Walking in Playdo for healthy feet

After our crazy hike this week we had to relax a little and take it slow (we couldn't walk steps for 3 days!). We are currently in Daejeon, the fifth biggest city of Korea. We actually came here to do some more hiking but for now we have been resting our legs, they still hurt!

Daejeon is a very industrial city. It seems like we are the only tourists here. It's very hard to communicate with anyone as no one speaks English. Even the tourist information puts you on a translation phone number for your questions. So everytime we go somewhere we use hand and feet trying to use the public transportation (signs are only in Korean) but it's working pretty good! We only took the wrong bus twice haha. 

But we already have a trick: Koreans love hiking, it doesn't matter if it's 2km or 40, they are always dressed up in a perfect hiking outfit. So whenever we go to a hiking place we just follow the beautiful dressed hikers and get off at their stop. It's always the right choice (even though they look at us like we are crazy, since we are not dressed proper enough for them).

We decided to go to a sand path around a mountain yesterday, which was supposed to be nice for our feet. However, we did not exactly end up at a sand path, it was a red clay path - even better! We walked about 3 hours in the nice clay which felt very good and gave an odd memory of playdo. 

Daejeon is most famous for its natural hot spring water which has apparently healing power. So we went to a  public foot bath to massage our feet which felt good and we are hoping that we can hike again tomorrow.

On a other note, the bus drivers are nuts in Korea. They seem to be playing Mario Cart in real life using 3 lanes for a corner so he can keep on going 140kmph. Also at night, red is the new green. The lights do not seem to count for busses. It feels like Asia again, uncompareable with Japan.
