Happy Halloween!

Halloween is a little boring this year, since it’s on a Wednesday. I taught an afternoon kids class and we made masks and then the kids watch SpongeBob for the last hour. I don’t know what the big appeal is, but that cartoon is pretty boring. I wanted to upgrade to Leopard on Tuesday, but [...]

Overpriced bags

I’m all for funky and cool things, but $45 for this bag?  I can pick up a similar bag in Korea for $5, minus the leather-like vinyl bottom and trendy designs.  Come to think of it, the last one I picked up had a Superman emblem on it.  That being said, these bags are actually [...]

Kangneung Road Trip

We arrived in Kangneung a little later than expected because Readon woke up late, and we were behind schedule by about two hours. One we arrived on the East coast, we made Seorak-san our main excursion for the day. Our first stop was some temple on the way to Yangyang. As you can see, I’m [...]

A Preview of the East Coast

The road trip to the coast was busy, but fun.  I got some good pictures and ate a lot – definitely the signs of a good trip.  I’ve chosen 100+ pictures and am ready to upload them to Flickr tomorrow.  For now, here’s the first place we stopped on our touristy road trip.

We drove down a little earlier to visit a tailor shop and get some things made. Ras put in an order for two [...]

Bosaam and Squid

Ras and I are leaving for a road trip tomorrow with Reardon to our former hometown of Kangneung (Gangneung).  Once we arrive on the east coast, we’ll drop by Seorak-san and and see if the leaves have started changing yet.  There won’t be time for hiking, so we’ll probably take the gondola instead.  Friday night [...]

Bart’s Apartment

The great thing about my new lens, is that I can now easily take pictures of entire rooms.  These pictures were from Sunday night when we went over to Bart’s for pasta dinner, Office Space, and an episode of The Office.

Midterm Resting

It’s been a pretty easy week so far, with it being midterm week.  I don’t have regular classes, and my only obligation is teaching for 2 1/2 hours a day from Monday through Thursday.  Needless to say, I’m loving it.  This morning, Ras and I went to Yongsan to do some shopping.  He needed to [...]

Strangest picture yet

I was walking around taking pictures today in Seoul, when I came up this frame below.  Notice anything different? Now, I’ve seen naked babies before as advertisement for a photo studio, but I’ve NEVER seen this: Wow, I couldn’t believe it.  I moved in a little to make sure it was real – it was.  [...]
