Went to the Korean war museum for the afternoon. It had exibits from the Chosun dynasty all the way up to the Korean war. The third pic from the bottom is a scale model of the DMZ. I would like to put all my pics on but that would take a long time! The museum was free to visit,it's huge, in Canada it would have cost at least $20. I'm gonna go back again for a second walk through. There is a bunch of short movies you can watch while touring the museum, didn't get to see all of them so like I said I'll go back!

Life Has It's Up's And Downs







Well well well look who's back, been awhile since I have came here but you heard that before.
The new place is all set up and back to "normal"
The thing I can say about the new place is that we live on the 11th floor, the view is great! There is vendors that sell fantastic food off of carts, right outside my front door Pogo's for a buck! A store and a bar in the basement..It's well set-up!
My one and only problem with the new place is the elevator...We used to live on the second floor so I never "had" to use the elevator. Some might say hey than why don't you take the stairs? Well because there is 2 flights of 10 stairs each per floor and that's alot of frickin stairs...so I wait for the elevator.
There is 11 floors above ground and 5 below, if your timing is not good, let's just say your waiting for it to go down, skip the main floor, come back up, you get in then it stops on every floor because A: it's full of people or B: people on lower floors pushed the call button and decided to take the stairs...ugg
I do enough stairs at the subway station and average of about 150 a day so I'm waiting for the elevator!
The second pic is the "Holy Mary GS25", a church and a convenience store all in one, so if your sweating in Church you can buy a beer or some soju to calm ya down!
The mountain views are the view from our apartment, I told ya it was nice!
The dude passed out on the garbage bags, I guess is a regular occurrence of a Saturday night!
The first pic is myeondong market(sp?)and as you can tell by the sea of black hair the place is a flippin zoo to walk through. The last pic is sweet potatoes and squid for sale out in the said market..
All in all things are OK missing out on a weekend trip to Taipei because the airfare is alot of money right now, guess I'll keep lookin
that's all for now, I'm going to get a pogo!

APT 1111

I am pretty busy these days as you can tell from lack of posting...So finally we got our old apartment packed up, moved to our new place and unpacked. The Internet dude fixed us up this morning, so everything is almost back to "normal" In the meantime here's a few pics!

Shabu Shabu My second or maybe third favorite food here!



When the soups done you get fried rice for your hotpot!
Then you roll outta the restaurant because your full of delicious food!

Sometimes It's Pointless

Well again I have been dropping the ball and not coming here as often as I should
What's been getting in the way?
Well.... beer mainly, there's always people who want to go out and play!
For $2.50 a pint I can't say no
It's the last week of that nonsense though, as were moving to a different all Korean and no foreigner neighbourhood! not that they don't have beer there but they're wont be as many people to be social with....
It's lunar new years here in Asia, it's a long weekend and we almost went to Fukuoka Japan
the cheap airline tickets were gone when we decided to buy em :(
Maybe in a couple o weeks we'll try again ! :)

Went to the California Pizza Kitchen for some good eats tonight.
Koreans put Cilantro on everything, and in my opinion, you either love it or ya don't!
I don't ! It tastes like soap, or what I imagine soap would taste like if I ate it....
Anyhoo that's about all the exciting news I have to tell for now!

Public Relations Imnida


Well not much to report, cats are fine, Teri is fine, and I'm fine. We are about to be whirl winded by the upcoming move but, hey that's OK too!
I'm thinking I need a vacation away from my vacation....somewhere cheap and warm like the Phillipines or somewhere really expensive but super cool like Japan??
Maybe a random comment would help me decide?
