Sweet Potato Farm

Today we went on a field trip to Guam Village outside of Daegu near Palgonsan.
The kids got to harvest/dig up some sweet potatoes.

It was a fun and simple day.

Wow look at that sweet potato!

Chuseok Holiday

추석

I spent Chuseok holiday in Seoul with my friends Jessica and Lucy.
As soon as we arrived, there was a typhoon.
That was an interesting experience.
Other than that, it was a great time.

Poor Jess, soaking wet from the rain!

This amazing photo was taken by Jess. Cats Living Cafe.

We were escaping from the typhoon.

Mr. Moon, one of the owners of the guest-house we frequent,

made us ddeoguk and we had some homemade kimchi too. 

Hundreds of old men playing baduk at Jongmyo Park.

Jongmyo Shrine, where the royal spirit tablets are housed. 

Playing the "1-2-3 Wee" game. 

Blue skies! Gyeongbuk Palace

If you wore your hanbok, you got in for free.

Top 10: Summer Vacation

So here are my top 10 moments from my summer vacation

 (no particular order).

1. Megan arrived safely! :)

2. Megan and Derek (blue shirt) both were able to visit Korea. 

So we had a Welcome to Korea party for them in Daegu at MF.

3. Haeundae Beach in Busan. 

4. Our many train rides

 Megan passed out on the train back to Daegu. 

We took a train almost everyday. Megan is a pro now.

Party Car!

5. Busan Museum of Modern Art. 

They had an amazing exhibit of modern art by Korean artists.

Also, it was a nice way to get away from the heat.

6. Busan Tower.

We got there right at dusk. 

Yongdusan Park from the Tower.

7. Gyeongju

Bulguksa Temple in Gyeongju.

This temple is preserved very well. 

Amazing.

8. Insadong in Seoul, South Korea. 

We spent most of Megan's second to last day in Insadong.

It's an area where you can get a lot of traditional gifts.

This is  the Traditional Tea House.

There are birds that fly freely inside.

This picture was also was taken in Insadong.

There was a man with these cute little mammels (I'm not sure what they are).

9. Hongdae in Seoul, South Korea.

This was a bazaar club we ended up going called OI. 

They were having a water party and it was disgusting. Ha ha.

10. Cats Living Cafe.

No, it's not a squirrel. It's a kitten. 

A very cute kitten that love us.

Stare down! This cat had two different colored eyes!

So there you have it! I'll make sure to upload my Best Pictures from Summer 2010 album 

so check it out for more pictures.

Children's Day

I got to celebrate Children's Day, however; I did not spend any time with children because I had the day off. So I spent Children's Day with my friends Kyung Hyun and Yong Ju aka Chloe and Ju Ju. We went to Gatbawi and Donghwasa Temple. I had a great day full of laughs and moments of utter amazement.

Here is a video at the top of Gatbawi 

On a side note, this has nothing to do with Korea, 5 years ago (5/5/05) my cousin Jordan was taken from us so unexpectedly. It was nice to see all of the Facebook statuses honoring him and his life. Jordan will always be in our hearts and he has touched so many lives that still to this day people love and miss him.
