Goseong Dinosaur & Bird Footprints

Since this is prior to my digital camera purchase, I have http://www.dinopark.netenggo_dinointroe_marks_01_v.htm to thank for these teaser prints. This has to be one of the most fascinating pieces of history that I've been able to view! Apparently, this area has one of the third largest concentrations of dinosaur prints in the world.

Seoraksan National Park Near Sokcho

Look at the writings engraved into the rock.

It's quite a climb!

Mi Casa

Space is quite limited here & studio apartments are very common. That being said, this is where I'm living.

Daytime view out my window.

This is my attempt at being creative with my camera.

In the photo above, I've extended the dining room table for your viewing pleasure.

Nope, there's no shower curtain in the bathrooms.

If you need to use the bathroom while the floor is still wet, you have three options. Perhaps there are more alternatives, but these are the ones I'm currently presented with.

1) Wipe the floor dry.

2) Next to the sink is a wooden floor cover that can be placed down.

3) Lastly, use the bathroom sandals seen here.

OK, I guess a fourth option is to get your feet wet.

Yes, I suppose you could choose not to shower.

There you have it! This is my place!

Just for the record, I didn't clean my place for the pictures.

Learning How to Make Songpyun- Rice Cake

Here I am learning how to make songpyun. It's more difficult then one might guess. This group of people are kind enough to invite foreigners to learn more about their culture. I greatly thank the http://busanbuddhism.org/ for their kindness in providing these free events.

It doesn't take a songpyun pro to figure out this lil' fella went wrong.

We're so excited to bake our songpyun! Photograph compliments of Denis Desjardins.

Traditional Korean oven.

All of us patiently wait in our aprons for the songpyun.

Finished & ready to eat!

Haedong Yonggung Temple, Busan

This was a beautiful temple due to it's location on the ocean.

Suraksan Hike in Seoul

My buddy Justin came to South Korea to help open a restaurant in Seoul. We were lucky enough to be able to coordinate our schedules! I thank you & Amber for sending out the care package which included these pictures!

Justin, on the left, has a cool hair cut too!

Suburbs of Seoul behind me.

Pretty good sized boulder waiting to roll into Seoul! Can you see the person in black on top?

Hiking down from the peak.

Look at the detail of these smaller Buddhas which lead to a much larger one not shown above. Please view more pictures at Suraksan Hike in Seoul.
