End of the semester party!

We had an end of the semester party

Holiday Festivities!

It's holiday time again! Time for Christmas and Thanksgiving!

Thomas, Steven, Michael, Tara, and I had a Thanksgiving Feast. I brought some loaves of bread that I got from Outback Steakhouse. Thomas and me bought some chicken from the street corner. Steven and Michael cooked some potatoes. We all ate and had a great time!

I went outside with my camera, which wasn't a good idea. The lens froze up so I couldn't take any other good pictures.

Afterwards, in Suwon Station, you can admire the Christmas lights.

There's a huge light display outside Suwon Station!

KGTC!

A funny picture that I thought everyone would enjoy. A racing girl and me! Hehe!

A LA party!

I found out about a Little America party so I wanted to go. It was nice to see everyone and catch up for a while. Here are some of the pictures I took.

Michael and Steven.

Mr. Kang and Jennifer.

I caught Thomas and Steven by surprise.

Korean Folk Village

Night Out!

After our Korean class, Thomas and I met up with Tom and Stephan who we hadn't seen for a long time. What started to be only for a couple of ours turned into all night. Here are some of the pictures of that madness. Haha!

Here's the mandatory group shot!

Somebody doesn't know where to face. Haha! Anyhow, there's the Polish guy and his girlfriend who's names escape me at this time and Stephan, of course.

I'm suddenly part of the EU. Me, Tom, and the Polish guy.

Here's the Kiwi connection: Hayden and Thomas.

And here's me being smooth. Haha!

One more time. I wish I could remember her name. I forgot most of the night. Haha!

Seoraksan part 2

The last game of the season!

Today marks the last day of the season for the Hyundai Unicorns. They were battling it out for the top position but fell short. Here's some of the pictures of the game.

Here's a wide shot of the crowd and the game!

Here's the pitch!

The batter, BB, is up!

Here's the hit!

And it's a home run!

Here's a close up Dereck, Thomas and me all hitting home runs! Haha!

Here's are biggest fans!

Here's the smallest fan that doesn't believe the story is true!

New Camera!!!!

The other day I bought a camera off Dereck. He sold it for a really good price. It's a Digital Canon SLR camera. The amount of lenses I can get for this camera is great. Anyhow, I was in my Korean hometown Ansan and I took some first shots with the camera.

Here's the first shot. It was quite a surprise. I ran into Juliet at the subway station. I was waiting for Thomas and I was surprised to see her. I'm glad I ran into her because her birthday was just last week so it was nice to say Happy Birthday in person. Plus, she always has a great smile and is very photogenic.

Next is the man himself, Dereck. He helped me out in Seoul today to buy some lenses. He's quite an experienced photographer and a good friend.

Here's my Korean teacher in Sukmyeong University. She is very cute and funny. Too bad she's married. :^(

Here's my buddy at the Cosa Market. This guy is a really nice friend. He doesn't speak English but that never stopped him from talking a lot to us.
And of course, no album would be complete without a picture of Mel Gibson. Haha!

Baseball Action!

I've put up numerous soccer pictures but now that I'm in Suwon I should support the local baseball team. The team's name is the Hyundai Unicorns. So, I went with Thomas to check out one of the games. It was pretty fun with all the distractions with the cheerleaders and what not.

And here's the pitch!

The seventh inning strech!

As usual, there were Koreans drumming. This is Goro's cousin.

This is the male cheerleader. Amazingly enough he didn't quite annoy me as most other male cheerleaders.

This cheerleader was cheering for me! Haha!

The unicorn wasn't the happiest today. The unicorns lost :(

Bonus: The kid with the jacket looks horrified at the unicorn!

Some more soccer action!

Now for the sports! Last Saturday there was a soccer game between Iran and South Korea. Thomas and me we're talking about going to the game after class. Two more from the class joined us, Joey from Florida, and a girl from Taiwan.

Here's a shot of the way up to the stadium. It was crowded!

The group shot, Joey, the girl from Taiwan, me, and Thomas!

Here's my shot of my seat. Talk about boggle boggle.

More of the fans. The flags were immense!

The games finale was 1-1. Iran scored in the last seconded of the game. It was a big let down!
