Art..

I feel that I am lucky here in Korea because there is plethora of art galleries and exhibitions.
Not only Koreans but famous artists/photographers from around the world.

Here is an artist I found so interesting at the Dague Photo Biennale...

(Warning his website contains adult content!)

I'm standing next to the piece titled "Fragile-Meissen."
It was so amazing in person, loved it.

I wanted to blog about something positive and lighthearted. Right now the standing conflict with North Korea has a lot of people scared about what the future holds for South Korea. As of now, I am safe and I'm not too worried about what's going. Just know, if I am told it is not safe to be here, I will leave, no questions asked.
Thanks for all the kind thoughts and prayers, everyone.

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!

Leaves are Falling...

When I taught preschool, I always sang a song during the fall about the leaves falling on the ground...
I love fall in Korea it's very beautiful. 
I went to Daegu Arboretum and took in the fall surroundings.




Couldn't have asked for better weather!
