... restaurant. For lunch we had inerts (liver, intestines, stomach?), I tried them but only a piece. It didn’t taste bad but it wasn’t for me. Don’t forget that every meal includes lettuce, peppers, and rice. Also included in the meal was a lot of fresh fruit that only the taste would spark many ...

This entry was written over the weekend of June 6th and 7th in Busan. Again I had my leather journal my sister Jenny gave me.

4am Sunday morning

I started off small. When was first introduced to skateboarding it was by riding down my buddy Kevin Mccoy's laneway on a very small banana board. Soon there after I fell in love with skating. We would speed down streets racing with our destinies. Once I hit a rock and went face first into the pavement ...

... into everybody, *nd c*n only go *s f*st *s the crowd in front of you will let you. I me*n, I thought it w*s cr*zy, the few times I've been to New Orle*ns. You might see bre*sts on the streets in New Orle*ns, but there is no TELLING wh*t you'll see in this pl*ce. The gre*t p*rt is th*t there is no crime in Kore*. At le*st, none to spe*k of, *nyw*y. And, therefore, no cops posted up *nywhere giving everyone une*sy feelings *bout their desire to ...

... it's not guaranteed. It's best to know a specific place or have a map on hand if you can't say the place name very well. The average Korean cannot speak English beyond a few words. Most will be pretty patient with you, but don't be too surprised if someone doesn't want to bother with you for too long. Any attempt to speak what little Korean you know, will not go unappreciated. Just remember to be polite and thankful. Visas: You do not need a visa to ...

... Guess I ruined those chances for me... Either way, the students loved her. She's a very outgoing and friendly person, so she was a star. Students are still asking about her.

Tera's enthusiasm was just what I needed now that I just passed my six month mark here. Tera was so excited about everything, she took so many pictures, and videotaped everything. Everywhere we went people wanted to talk to her. At first I was a little hesitant ...

... the resort town of Jungmun, where I saw a waterfall and the spectacular coastline, where there were very nice basalt rock formations and a rough sea. The third day on Jejudo I went to visit a small volcano, the Ilchulbong at Seongsan. This small volcano offered some fine views after a short but steep climb, although the crater itself was nothing special. At some moment here I kind of lost my energy to do much more and rested for a while watching the volcano from the bottom. After this ...

... I want to do and see, and not enough vacation time to do it in.



In my neighborhood, being one of two weaguks, and the only female, I know that what I do, where I go, and when I do those things is carefully noted. Not just by random students who see me, but by the three veggie vendors, the onion man, the convenience store clerks, and grocery store ladies, and the post office clerks, the little police man at his post, and the random ...

... but then the teacher said it was gross... Moving right along... I think that those topics aren't as taboo here as they are in the U.S. Strange huh?? They all giggle and laugh at me, and of course a few comment on my eyes and hair. I feel kinda like a circus freak, but I'm being well taken care of.... Strange...



The bell system here sounds like a pokemon chime. No joke. Or from some crazy anime show. Or like a jack-in-the-box or ...

... for Hookah (tobacco, completely legal, no worries). After some snacks and sleep we were ready for anything the next day. Once the remainder of our group showed up, we headed to the nearest elementary school to play soccer. We were kicked off the main turf field and resigned to our confined, rubbery basketball court, which served as well as it could. Saturday night included much more jazz (well, music at least) and much less rain. However, the best part ...

... to agree) that all the western teams won something just for showing up. check out the photos, along with many others i've posted recently, at the usual place: http://drplaster.co.uk/gallery/main.php i've not mentioned many things, including long island iced tea binges/hangovers, soju/yoju nights, quiz nights, pool, u-para games hall, women's beach volleyball, and probably much much more. but aside from thanking annie once again for all her help, energies, patience ...
