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.

Here's a picture of the river.

Here's another shot of the river on the bus.

Lastly, here's another river.

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.

Church Picnic!

On Sunday, the Korean class in the church had a picnic. The weather was cloudy but we still went on a walk around Hwaseo Fortress. It was similar to the trip during New Years except the trees and the flowers were blooming.

Here's the first picture. Bascially, this is my class with some others.

This is just the main class without two of the teachers.

Here's me with the whole school, you can say.

Here's Chon won Su posing were a General would bark orders.

Here's us at the steps of the Fortress.

An arial shot of us.

One Final Group shot.

Seoul Land Zoo!

This Saturday I went to Seoul land with Sun Ju. It was fun. I saw a bunch of animals. We took a skytram up to the zoo. It was very familiar to the San Diego Zoo. Here are some of the pics.

Sun Ju and me posing in front of a fountain.

Lions just lying around!

Here's a nice shot of the Zebras. It almost looks like I'm in the pen with them.

In the Zoo, there's an arboretum. Here's some catches.

Here's a shot of Quico at the Zoo.

Here's a totem pole that is supposed to protect Korea.

Here's Sun Ju posing in front to the plants.
