One of the cool things about this area is how the neon signs light up the entire street. The street light on the left is actually one of the few in the food & bar district.
Many of the streets in this district also do not have sidewalks. It is quite common to see pedestrians and cars sharing the street.
This picture was taken at around 10:30 pm on a Friday night. Without any sidewalks, all the people walk around almost completely disregarding the cars. It's amazing how many cars will try to use the narrow streets even with the large crowds! I can understand the taxi drivers wanting to make money, but I'm not so sure about the other drivers....
The resting "house" was about the midway point of our hike up to one of the peaks. I used my zoom for this shot to get a few details of the steps from the resting point.
This picture from farther away should give an idea of the distance of our hike from the midway point. We went downhill and then had to go uphill again.
I was standing near the edge of a cliff when I took this picture. On the left side is a view of one of the preserved temple areas. 
I thought this was one of the coolest parts about the Palgongsan hike. This climb was steep and slippery enough that we had to use a rope to maintain balance. The guy on my left was a trooper. Even though he was wearing an arm sling, he successfully made his way up.
One of the guys I was with took this excellent action shot of me. The wind was starting to pick up when I was grabbing hold of this tree, so I couldn't maintain my position for too long.
