Meeting Up with Paul

I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I had caught up with Paul, who I had not seen in over a year. He is out of Korea in a couple of weeks and wanted to catch up before he headed out.

We met up early and decided to go hiking up Apsan, doing a four hour route. We had wanted to get farther up the mountain but it was very muddy so we opted to take the long way down, exiting by the arboretum.

We then had a couple beers up at lake park before dinner and a couple more at Draft.

I haven't seen Paul that happy in years. I think a return to New Zealand might be exactly what he needs (and he said as much).

It also puts Wellington firmly on my list of places to visit. It was great catching up after so long and I hope we can do it again somewhere in Asia/NZ again before too long.
