oh ajummas...

The joys of Korea continue to appear.. i love it. God is continuing to show me His love and awesomeness. Let's see, over the past couple weeks the weather has been warming up with no signs of mosquitoes ....yet...(crossing my fingers). I hear they are brutal here in the summer. Not excited...they seem to love the asian blood..or something like that :) It's great to wake up to a sunny morning and some "fresh" air...maybe fresh smog would be more applicable...get some reading or soccer in before the school day starts...
Ever since the rock climbing trip I have been interested in getting into it a little more, therefore I bought some climbing gear last weekend :) yay! (Go big or go home right? ;) I met some Koreans a couple weeks ago at an outdoor climbing facility, so they have been coaching me. Good times. There's a lot I need to work on, but it's been fun so far :)

Last weekend there was a huge festival in Seoul so I checked out that scene. My roommate and I were able to see some musicians...yup not the greatest music....but it was nevertheless
fun :) We also saw some fireworks and b-boyz (break dancers..pic above) good stuff. There was also some traditional music and performances I was able to check out. I love it!

This past weekend my other roommate and I went on a hiking trip with Ad. Korea.
We went down South and did some good hiking and checked out some festivities down there. It was nice to get away from Bupyeong for the weekend, meet some new people, and most importantly, to be back in the great outdoors; see some real green grass/hear birds/smell the trees....ahhh....not deal with the pushy Ajummas oi...(ajummas are women over the age of like 35ish...pushy little gals...)
(pic to the left..sunset 2 nights ago in the mountains....after our crew got lost...long story) :)
The weather is continuing to warm up and there continues to be an increase of 'exercising' machines outside our apartment...possibly a subtle hint...these machines more or less are twisting and swinging machines...i haven't quite figured out what their purpose is....hmm

I guess that's about it for my main adventures over the past couple weeks. Time continues to fly by...the students continue to get more and more energy with the weather warming up and all. Hope you all have a lovely week!

Yo Laura! Just checked out your sister's blog . I do believe the whole world should have a blogsite! Recovering from a week in MI for Dan's wedding (your folks were there!) Staying by Tara and Mark's overnight and then back to Rocky Top. I love following your adventures in Korea. God Bless you my friend!
