Feb 2- Feb 4 Jeongwol Daeboreum Fire Festival: Last year this was cancelled so take advantage! An entire hilltop is set on fire in an important ritual to pray for
health and a good harvest in the coming year. A truly stunning sight
steeped in traditional, this is a MUST-SEE event! Visit the Korea Tourism Organization's website for more information on this event
here.
Feb 4 San-jeong lake hike and ice sports(mountain-top lake): Join Seoul Hiking Group for another one of their winter trips. A view of North Korea and a beautiful hike await you. Warren the trip leader will ensure you have a great time and is a very reliable tour guide. I have been on many of Seoul Hiking Groups trips in the past and strongly recommend them! The fee for the day trip is 29,000 won. For more information visit the
Seoul Hiking Group Facebook page.

Feb. 11-12 6th Skiing and Snowboarding Trip with Adv. Korea: Adventure Korea will be taking a group to Pheonix Park in Pyeongchang. The total price for the trip is 124,000 won which is not bad for including transportation (a
chartered bus), dorm style accommodation (6-8 people will share a room), and
an afternoon lift pass (between 12:00 and 16:30). Skiing in Korea is something you should do before winter is over this 2012.
Ends Feb. 12 Outdoor Ice Skating in Seoul: Take advantage of the many outdoor ice rinks this 2012 to celebrate the New Year! Korea4Expats has a great breakdown of the different rinks available and their times. I suggest the Grand Hyatt Hotel's Ice Skating Rink even though it is pricey because it will be the least crowded if you are looking for something romantic to do as a couple.
