Night Sky

This is just a picture of my apartment at night.

First day teaching!

Well I was getting ready for my first day of teaching but I couldn't get a good picture of myself. The camera isn't very friendly when you are not behind it! Hehe! I couldn't get it to focus properly.

Here's me in my least blurry attempt! I look like a wise guy!

Here's me really blurry! I look older in this one than the other. Goes to show that the flash isn't always very friendly!

Ah yes, my first meal. It was delicious. It's tuna steaks with rice! I cooked the rice with different kinds of grains! It's really tasty and healthier than white rice! Everyone is surprised that I actually took up cooking!

My new apartment!!!!!

Well the university moved me from Suwon to Seoul and I couldn't be happier! The apartment they gave me is huge!!!! I couldn't believe the size of it! There are 3 rooms. Two small rooms and one big room. There's also a living room and a kitchen! It's amazing! All of this and it's in the middle of Seoul!

Here's the view from my bedroom window! The university is only a 10 minute walk away from here! If you can see the grey dome building. The University is right behind it.

Here's another view from a different angle. The train tracks are there. I want to take pictures at night so everyone can see it at night!

Here's my living room! You can see that the Garfield that Alex gave me is sitting comfortably!

Here's the kitchen! It's a mess because I've been actually cooking. Amazing!!!

And here's the bathroom! I'm still amazed with the bathtub. I haven't had one in 2 years!

Here's the spare room! Most of my friends will probably crash here when they are in Seoul for the weekend. I'm also going to use this as my study when I get the Internet on.

And here's my bedroom! Nice and big. I don't have to many things in here but I don't want to spend any money. We'll see how it looks later on!

Thinking about starting up again...

2005-2006: Ansan is where my heart is. I really have a deep appreciation for that place. The people, the food, and especially most of my close friends live out there. So, I will continue to visit as often as I can.

2006-2007: Suwon is where I'm starting up my career. I'm am really enjoying the opportunity of teaching at Kyonngi University. It's helping me grow in my career and, thanks to the Korean class, I have learned quite a deal of Korean. I have also learned a great deal about photography.

2007-Present: Seoul is going to be a new and unique experience for me. I am really excited about the move. I will start an entire new blog for my experiences here. I hope everyone will check it out. Coming Soon.

LA Party!

This is a picture of my Korean class. Today is our last day so I brought my camera to take a picture. The teacher is really cute so going to class was not very difficult. Haha!

Another group shot!

Here's Luis, Isabella, and Thalia. Three Korean students that are studying Spanish. Most of our conversation was in Spanish. It was nice getting out of the English speaking world for a while.

Here's a fine shot of me.

Hi everyone again! I didn't know that I could use flickr to upload photos to my blogspot account. It's great! It's easier to upload phots through flickr. Anyhow, I'm going to try to do a little updating because I know it's been a while.

Miss Kim and me!

Eating out with Sukmyeong!

My friend Yi Ping sent me these photos she took. They are better than my previous post so I'm really happy. We ate at Panchos Mexican restaurant in Seoul.

Here's the big group. Yi Ping, Thomas, the cute Korean teacher, and me.

Here's me giving a Spanish lesson in Korean while drinking a Pina Colada. Haha!

Here's the Korean teacher and me.

Here's the Korean Teacher and Yi Ping.

The Korean teacher and Thomas!

Yi Ping and Thomas. I'm starting to getting jealous of Thomas here. I didn't get a photo with Yi Ping. Haha!

My chicken, beef, and shrimp fajitas!

Finally, after the meal a lot of snow fell!

Dinner with the friends from Sukmyeong University.

Thomas, Lee Pyeong, the Korean teacher, and me all went out to eat some dinner. Since Thomas likes Mexican food, we went out to a Mexican restaurant to eat some dinner. It was a lot of fun eating with the Korean teacher. I learned a lot of new things about her.

This picture isn't the best but it'll have to do. Haha!

Snowy Day!

The other day in Korea, it snowed quite a bit. Thomas and I were actullay stranded out in a small city. It's quite a story. Let's just say I didn't get home till 6:00AM. These are some pictures of the snow of last Saturday and Sunday.

This picture is outside my window. It was amazing how everything looked so different.

Here's a tree covered in snow.

Here's another tree covered in snow. Thomas's bag is also getting wet. Haha!

Here's Thomas ordering up some spicy food for the cold weather.
