How to get to Seokbulsa Temple
Update: I've also posted instructions on getting help with Ulleungdo, if that's your thing. I thought posting detailed instructions would be helpful to anyone looking to make the hike.

Below you'll find some pictures of our 21 hour trip to Korea. To get there we jumped from Toronto to Chicago to Toyko to Seoul. Our longest flight was from Chicago to Tokyo, which lasted almost 13 hours. You can see the gradual decline of our mental state as the trip wore on 😛
