The most iconic flower were the Globe Amaranth. This flower is known for being timeless. (The purple ones above) I am being literal, as the flower does not change color after being dried which is how it has gotten its name of "1,000 days flower". In the states we have roses, in Korea they have the Globe Amaranth resembling eternal and unchanged love. On the other hand, the field had food vendors but keep in mind that they would charge you more so don't be afraid to haggle for prices! We eventually took a taxi to one of the most beautiful cafe I have ever seen. Let me tell you, it was one heck of a ride getting to cafe 비루개. (Bilugae). It reminded me of home, as we drove through scenic trees resembling a drive on the Pali towards Kailua. After driving on a unmanaged trail for thirty minutes, we made it! The cafe is literally a deluxe tree house for adults, but we were so disappointed finding that they did not have food on their menu, only coffee (an incentive to keep people in and out quickly). My friends decided to stay to do work as we waited for our time in a rope hammock. It was 6:00 PM, pitch black dark and we tried calling a taxi. We waited, and we waited... As confused as we were we ran back into the cafe and asked the workers if they could dial a taxi for us. However, we received the strangest suggestion. They said that there is no way a taxi would come into the surrounding area and the only way we could get out of the cafe is to carpool. Yes, carpool with strangers. As afraid as we were, we really wanted to get out of the place as it was getting extremely cold. We built the courage and asked a couple, shockingly, they were not reluctant as we were and offered to take us down the mountain. After a bit of small talk they asked us where our destination was to and told us that they would take us directly to our subway line so we wouldn't have to transfer. Needless to say, they drove us for a little over two hours and we were extremely grateful. Contrary, we all got yelled at by our peers and was told to never carpool ever again. But it was sort of a life or death situation..? Anyways, we made it back home!
