Well now I'm spending 6 weeks on Ulleung-do (that tiny little island in the East Sea next to the tinier island in the East Sea called Dokdo) studying plants.

Then, after staying a few days in Daegu, I'll bus/ship down to Jeju for 2 weeks - all the endemic plants!

Then it's the southern island/coast area (I still get to see Kirengeshoma koreana!) with a couple days' stay in Yeosu at a hotel located within Dadohaehaesang National Park.

Then I'll be winding my way up through Jirisan, Byeonsanbando, and Taeanhaean National Parks, after which I will visit Odaesan and Seoraksan.

I will end my trip with a week in Seoul, but of course I will not be simply sight-seeing, oh no. Bukhansan will be my sixth and final National Park, albeit it will be located almost in the middle of the capital city...
