Terry and I finally got home. I way 100 pounds, thanx to being sick, and I'm recooperating slowly but surely.
Korea was good fun. When we were in Jeju We visited tons of museums, some of which included a Teddy Bear Museum, (Which is home to the most expensive bear in the world, the Louis Vutton Bear) Jeju Love park, (OHH, definatly not what we expected, sculptures of naked ppl, different positions, ect... heh) A Movie Museum, (Showed how some movies were created, ect.) we also went to 3 waterfalls, climbed 2 mountians,
drove up another, walked on the beach, went to an old villiage town, ect.... within a span of 3 days.
When we got back to Seoul we did many things also.
Most of the time we went to Coex, it's an underground mall we had to take the subway to get to. I've found there are a few of these places, and if you get there early you see the homeless sleeping.
Many homeless people, or poor people gather on the steps to sell or beg...
a lot of people just sell things like socks of food they cook out of the back of their pick up trucks, and that is the way they try to make ends meet.
Anyways, I met all of Terry's family, and Terry and I went to Sollack mountains with his parents (who by the way climbed all the way to the top.) heh, not me, I wimped out. The same day we went to a humungeous cave that was a mile long inside and it wasn't even done being built.
So, all in all I think we walked 7 miles that day.
The day after Terry and I went to church with his parents and my back was killing me, so I rested the rest of the day. Monday we saw the new Starwars movie, and then I crashed. That's when I got sick and couldn't do anything. And that ended the trip. lol.
But, hey, all in all, minus the times I was sick, I enjoyed myself there!
eh. Okay, now, I came home today and found that my grandfather passed away around the time we were entering American skies. That's my mother's father, and he was an awsome guy. He used to tease me all the time about cooking my guinea pigs for dinner, and pulling his teeth out of his mouth when you least expect it, lol... He's in our thoughts and prayers.
Also, while I was away my little cousin Ryan has been in the hospital because he has a staph infection in his blood... apparently his temp reached 105 degrees.. so please pray for him too!
Thanx, and I'm out of here..
Need to dig out pictures of grandpa..
