An Ode to Spring time in Korea

Maybe it's because I'm in Korea or maybe it's because I've finally stuck my head out from lesson planning...but spring time in Korea is extremely colourful.

Trees in Korea are a completely different shade of green...and the cherry blossoms made me frolic like I'm in love haha...

Look it!

World Cup Trials: North Korea vs. South Korea

Thanks to Sunny...

...here are some photos of us at the World Cup Trials with North Korea playing against South Korea. For the most part, it was nice...and then much more exciting when they scored haha

There are more photos from the night out...more will be uploaded when I get them from Hannah.

Until then, stay in touch with this k.

More from Hike #2 with Judy

The tree is famous for its inverse root. Instead of growing below the ground, the root shot back out and grew into a branch...that later sprawl out towards the left of the photo.

Heidi and her dog Jindo

I descended the mountain in this position

I never would have done the hike without you, Judy. Next time, just keep in mind that I'm a beginning...like I am just learning to hike/climb-- A BEGINNERRR.........I know..."beginner" is overrated.

Hiking Club - Hike #2 at Cheontaesan...

...I hope that's how you spell it. This was probably the most challenging hike I've ever completed. Look it:

Hiking Clubs--past and present--represent themselves with ribbons. There are fewer and fewer as you reach the summit.

Ginko Tree: over 1000 years old

Wishing rock piles: I made five wishes...for different people

Go go gadget... mountain goat!

More to come...

Happy Birthday, Angela!

Angela celebrated her birthday in Seoul, South Korea. We went to Jane's Club (?) on the Friday before her birthday and ate dinner at Pasha in Gangnam. For her present, she received a super awesome Nikon digital camera.

Here are some photos from the birthday celebrations:

Regrouping is important.

Angela, Heidi and Hannah: Angela ran out of nice pictures before we left the apartment

She photographs extremely well. Look at her.

Dancing to some song...

Angela, Hannah and Heidi: Dinner at Pasha. The lamb chops were awesome. Even non-lamb lover Angela enjoyed it

Angela and Heidi: Spooning

Angela: Don't you just love that outfit?! You look so preeetty.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGELA!

I hope you had a wonderful time and that everything worked out as you had hoped deep deep down in your heart (down in your heart).

For my birthday, you wished that I would achieve everything that I dared to hope/dream for...I wish that for you, too.

No matter where you travel, near or far, I wish you my favourite three--joy, love & faith.

Here's to many more...
