Yet, though O-Young's enthusiastic character didn't fit very well in a bureaucratic system, he will never forget what he got from the job as well. In particular, during his four years at the Yushan National Park, he had the opportunity to be sent on expeditions to climb Mt. Gokyo in Nepal (5630 meters) and Mt. Aconcagua in Argentina (6959 meters).
