It's party time again because it is Susan and Heather's are leaving. Steven was already gone to England so he couldn't enjoy the party.

Here is the mandatory table shot.

Here is a picture of all the girls in the school. Anna, Heather, Susan, Jane, and Rachel.

My Date with Hazel Nut!

So, I met this girl on the internet the other day. She lives 8 hours away from me and she came to visit me and her friends.

Steven's headed back for England.

Steven is going back to England for a week. He's going to continue in Little America for another year. We had a going away party for him at the PC Bang (Haha!). We stayed up till 3AM and I had to wake up at 7AM to take him to the bus terminal to make sure he got on the right bus.

Here's Steven in the taxi all ready to go back to England.

Here's Steven waiting for the bus to the airport. You can see the mountains and the Lotte Mart in the back of the picture.

Last lunch.

This will be the last lunch for Susan and Heather with us because they are canceling the Kindergarden program at Little America. So, we went out to have lunch with them.

Rachel, Susan, Jessica, and Anna.

Marsha, Jane, and Heather.

English Club Party!!!

I found a cool friend Elley in a website called Korean Friend Finder. She's a really cool chick. We get along really well. So, she invited me to her English Club. After the meeting we go out to eat. These are two pictures of myself, my buddy Erick, Alley, and Elley. There are a lot more members of this club that I need to take pictures of.
Here is a picture of me and Alley and Elley. You can notice also that the restaurant is named Indio, like the city in California.

Here's a picture of Erick and the two Alleys.

Crazy Korean Girls!

After the graduation, there was the usual picture taking from the parents. What was unusual was the chaos that was happening in the hall. Two girls were chasing a boy and saying that he was cute. It was absolutely hilarious. Poor child didn't know what to do. All he could do was run around screaming while 2 girls are chasing him and saying that he is cute!!!

One of the girls caught him. He's in peril!

I got them to pose for this shot. He was absolutely irate. I thought to myself, he must hate it now but when he is older that kind of attention is priceless. Haha!

It looks like things have turned into a street fight!!!! Haha! Not really, it's Bill fooling abound!

One more picture of the chaos! Note the girl on the left has here arm wrapped around his arm. Also, Bill is sticking his head out on the right side of the boy and the girl on the right.

Kindergarten graduation!

It was celebrating time for the kindergarten. It's Graduation Day! Even though, I was not a kindergarten teacher. I did have a special connection with these youngsters. I would always say hi to them or give them High 5s. Little America is no longer going to continue a kindergarten program. So, I will not be able to see these munchkins again.
Here's a big group shot with Heather and Susan in the background.

Here's Robert (right). He's a very friendly and good munchkin. You can also see Jasmine in the purple. That's Mr. Hans daughter.

Here's another group shot. I like it because everyone is trying to smile with missing teeth! Haha!

The last picture of the graduation has to go to Robert for having this complete look of boredom!

2 last picutures of North Korea.

A North Korean solidier.

DMZ!

The flags of the 16 countries that were involved in the Korean War.

Another shot of the 16 flags.

A monument dedicated to the 16 countries.

Inside the meeting hall between North Korean and South Korea.

Here's me taking a picture with a South Korean soldier.

Another shot of a South Korean soldier.

The 16 flags in a glass case. They were cloth flags sitting on the table but some North Korean soldiers made there way in and used the flags to shine their shoes. Now they are kept behind glass from preventing this.

The first picture of North Korea.

DMZ! 2


Steven, a US soldier, and me posing in front of a monument and North Korea.

A South Korean soldier. He stands like this to avoid incoming gun fire.

Another South Korean soldier.

The bridge of no return.

propaganda village.

It's named this because no one lives here and there is an extensive speaker system. It plays messages like, "Come to North Korea, the land of No taxes." Notice the flag. It is the biggest flag in the world. It's there to compete against the South Korean flag in a nearby village.

This is the entrance of the 3rd tunnel.

A monument dedicated to the "Ax murder event" that occurred when a group of soldiers from US and South Korea soldiers went unarmed on a routine tree trimming duty and North Korean brutally murdered them with Axes.
