Trouble: Part 1

It took me two weeks, but I finally stumbled upon some trouble.  Or at least, an interesting situation.  I decided to go on a hike today along this path I found the weekend I got here.  The weekend I arrived, Yeosu was sweltering in heat.  I went exploring and I found what I presumed to be a hiking path.  I told myself I'd walk along it once the weather cooled down.

Today was the perfect day to go because it was nice and cool out.  So I walked to the path and I started to go along it.  Everything was going fine and I was excited because I was so curious where this path lead to.  The path took a sharp turn, and thus, so did I.  To my surprise, I was suddenly face to face with a bull/cow thing.  Bull cow.  Bull cow?  Anyway, it came out of nowhere.  And it looked pissed.  It was staring at me angrily and it was kicking its hooves and brushing dirt back like a Torro in a bull fight.

I was so shocked and freaked out that I couldn't move.  Nor could I stop looking at it straight in the eyes which is what I'm pretty sure you're NOT supposed to do.  So naturally, I slowly raised my camera, took a picture, and then backed away.  I was too scared to run because I thought maybe it would chase me or something.  I have no idea what these animals are about.  Do they attack?  Or could I have just walked on by it like it was nothing?  Most importantly, WHAT IS A BULL COW THING (?) DOING ON A HIKING PATH???

I seem to always have really weird experiences with anything related to the cow family.  I once was driving back from Pittsburgh after seeing Falling Waters and I was tired.  My GPS offered a more direct route than the highway and I trusted it.  See where this is going?  Long story short, I ended up driving through (what basically was) a field of cows, who were NOT happy to be interrupted.  They mooed at me so angrily and they looked so mad; I could not have driven away faster.  It was terrifying.  I think I'm developing a cow-phobia.
