KGTC!!!!!

Last Sunday was the KGTC, Korean Grand Turbo Circuit. It was exciting and fun to be in a car race. I haven't been in one in a long time. I went with Thomas and Steven. We all had a great time. There weren't to many car accidents though.

Thomas, Steven, and me in front of the track.

Here's yours truly in one of the stock cars looking tough!

Here's a Lamborghini Diablo!

Here's me and my car a Ferrari Enzo.

We stopped from all of the action to eat some ramen.

Seoul Land Part Deux!

Last Saturday was pretty awesome, I went with Rachel, Ruby, and their friend Ji Hyae to Seoul Land. This time I went to the Children's Petting Zoo and Rose Festival! It was pretty exciting being up close with the animals. I had a great time!

Here's Rachel, Ruby, and Ji Hyae in front of the lake.

Here is Ruby, Me, and Ji Hyae in front of the lake.

Here is Ruby petting a Llama. I think.

Here's a funny shot of the puppy with the pigs.

The puppy isn't a good guard because some of the pigs have escaped!

This poor baby calf thought I had food. He was disappointed when I didn't.

This sheep was inviting us into his house for some cafe con leche.

Finally, the secret garden shot. Ruby and Ji Hyae left and Rachel right.

Some random shots!

Last Monday was Teacher's Day. The students give presents to the teachers. Nowadays, the schools have a day off to avoid bribery. The students still give flowers to their teachers.

Here is a bouquet my student James gave me.

And we had another party because we have a new teacher, Jennifer.

Mount Seorak

I went on a 3 day vacation to Mount Seorak. It was one of the most beautiful mountains that I have ever been in. It was raining so I couldn't go hiking to far. That was a big bummer! But Anyhow, here are some pics.

Here's the welcoming committee an Asian Black Bear.

Here's a cable car leading up to Inner Seorak mountain.

A shot of one of the ridges. There is a bird in the distance.
There is a gigantic Buddha statue near the park entrance. It's sheer size is amazing.

Here are some shots from my hotel room.
Yours truly looking serious for the self portrait.

Some more shots from my balcony. It's quite a sight.
I was drinking coffee and taking in the sights in the morning.

Eating with the bank tellers

Today I was eating at the usual Kim Bob restaurant I always eat for lunch when two girls from the bank should up and wanted to eat with me. They did not speak English so I had to use all the Korean I know to entertain them. It was really funny. Here is a picture of them.
