I'm slowly getting pictures posted, but that's because I have a lot of laundry to do and can't go to bed until it's done.  So I'm doing other things to keep me entertained until then.

Coming from an e-mail that I sent to my parents, brothers and their wives (I know there's a lot more I could sent it do so don't feel bad if you didn't get it, but it was just easier to keep the list small), here is a brief (some would say) description of the 2 months that I've traveled so far.  Enjoy!

So I got a couple frantic e-mails from mom ( Read more... )

So, first off, the sad news.  As some may have heard, Korea's number one cultural site burned down because some arsenist was angry at the government for not giving him enough money for his land.  So this idiot burnt down the people's oldest (600 years old) and one of the most beautiful of their national treasures because he feels ripped off.  And I ( Read more... )

Here is a kind of brief, but rather broad story of what I've done so far...

It was rainy and cold so my time was some what limited to more indoor activities.  It was there where I met some Korean girls and we went out dancing on my last night.  I also went to the National Museum, saw the worlds tallest building (Taipei 101) and had lunch at the food ( Read more... )

I'm in Taipei and it's a bit rainy.  I spent most of the day at the movie theater yesterday because of the rain.  Oh well!  Hawaii and Arizona were great and I don't have a lot of time to go into details but hopefully the pictures will be enough to give you an idea what was going on.  Taipei pictures will come later.

 So the end of my time in Korea has finally come.  The time sure went quickly and even though part of me was ready to get out of Korea, I was not even remotely prepared to leave my students or friends.  I've been a mess the past few days.  I was even in Walgreens today and when I realized I could understand everything I was reading and everything I ( Read more... )

So, let's start off with the good stuff.  I went to Japan for the holidays.  It was a wonderful but exhausting trip.  Click on this link to read more about it and go to the links that have the pictures.

My trip was basically flawless, except for the very end which completely changed my life in Korea, but I'll get to that later.

The first two 1/2 ( Read more... )
