I am just approaching my 10 months in Korea mark and last week my school told me that they have a plane ticket for July 7th from Korea back to Toronto. For one reason or another I choose to delay my departure from Korea. Whether I will be teaching more or travelling around the region I am not exactly sure. But it looks as though for now I will not be coming home any earlier than July 7th. Sorry, but I had to pass on the news!
Now for something more fun. I recently joined the iWorld. That is, the world of Ipod and I must say it is one amazing piece of machinery. I bought an 80gb Ipod video and it can basically be used as a computer. I have all of my pictures, mp3s and lots of movies on there. The best part is you can take it all on the go. So, I have been pretty excited about my new toy lately and have been taking it everywhere. Anyway, enough about that.
The weather has really warmed up lately. It was too hot to be wearing pants today (but I was because I didn't know any better), and its only going to get warmer. I haven't really been able to get out and explore much on my motorcycle lately because I seem to be out of the city every weekend. That reminds me, I will be going to the North Eastern coast of Korea for some white water rafting, paintball and bungy jumping next weekend. It should be a really good time, except for the bus ride, which takes 6 hours!
Now onto some fun things I've been up to.
Jackie's Birthday Weekend in Masan:
A bunch of us decided to go down to Masan for Jackie's birthday back in April because that was the city that she used to work in. The Jeonju Crew (the city I live in) wanted to show our solidarity, so we showed up in the fancy uniforms seen below. Self-designed t-shirts and blue ties for the boys; red for the ladies.
Don't we look good?
Jack, Matt, Evelyn and I showing off our threads.
The birthday girl and I.
Havin' a good time, havin' a good time!
This would be about 5am after a big night out. I wasn't passed out, I was just resting until our food came.
Arm Wrestle a Foreigner Night:
The premise: Make signs in Korean that offer the chance to win shots of Soju (the cheap Korean liquor for about $3/bottle) for beating a foreigner in arm wrestling for the low, low price of about $1 per arm wrestle.
The location: The busiest night life section of town, near Jeonbuk University.
The mystery wrestler: Batman.
The result:
It seemed to be a popular event.
The mystery wrestler has been summoned. Batman prepares for his opponent.
A rare photo-op of Batman. Doesn't he look strangely familiar?
One of Batman's best defenses: intimidation. The challenger ran away screaming shortly after this photo was taken.
Batman taking a time out in the Batcave (actually a bar under construction) with his Bat-friends to enjoy a beer.
You can guess how this ended.
That's enough for now. I will post some pictures of the rafting trip when I get back. Hope everyone is well at home.
