... opened) we made our way to Vinyl Underground – a crazy little club that is, in fact, underground – but not made of vinyl.

The music was house all night, and we generally got our silly and trippy dancing ON. 4ish hours later, Dan and I, and another friend, Brett stumbled back out to the real world, where I insisted we find the beach – it ended up being kind of a hike, but Rosenberries never get lost so we made it ok. The bright side of ...

... big name movies are played in English with Korean subtitles, so we were able to watch it without problems.
In the evening I got up at about 2am to be able to listen to Justin pitch. I'm so proud of my technological knowledge! I had to use a proxy server in order to listen to the game because the broadcast was from a team that didn't allow listeners outside of the US. It was a great game though, and definitely worth the ...

... those things. It's just that, I'm finally content with the fact that it's not my time for those things...no matter how much I want them. I don't feel like I'm being adventurous when I up and move to Korea--or do whatever "crazy" thing I'm going to do next--I'm just trying to quiet the nagging in my soul.



I've learned that I'm happy right now....and that it's the first time I've been happy in a long time.



I've learned that ...

... cultural artifacts left by the Silla Kingdom. The historic areas are sometimes known as one of the largest outdoor museums in the world. After another night at a sauna, we started off Thursday morning at the National Museum of Gyeongju. There are some of the local treasures that were excavated from the royal tomb mounds in Gyeongju. Its holdings are largely devoted to relics of the Silla kingdom, of which Gyeongju was the capital. The volume of ...

... but a few weeks ago, it was SOOOOO cold! This SoCal girl is just not used to it!! I mean, Chico got cold sometimes, but mostly I think it just rained.... There were a few days last week when it was 25 degrees at 1pm....oye. My area of town is located on the East side of a mountain, so in the mornings, there's plenty of sunshine. In fact, I see the sun rise every morning around 7:30am, from my window. Unfortunately, the ...

... No. I was wrong. Cover ups and powders come in white, and whiter here.... It's difficult to find natural creamy tones.



Today, everytime I tried to stand in the sun to get a little color, the women would pull me out, and make me sit in the shade; OR offer me spf 75 sunblock!! I KNOW all about the sun and it's dangers, but a bit is good for you, and I had on SPF 15. I wasn't running around, and I was alternating ...

... realised we were on the wrong bus Orla had been saying how good we were that we hadn't taken a single taxi while we were there, she jinxed us!!!!). Anyway, the taxi stopped and the lovely Japanese man with a car you could eat off of, a dickie bow and sparkling white driving gloves on smiles at us as if to ask where do ye want to go? Then the games began.........Our Japanese has never been our strong point, so we knew we were in ...

... Worry' Bank I had a problem with my bank card shortly after arriving back from Japan. The timing was cruel, as we'd just received our first pay from camp and we were looking forward to being able to access our money for the first time without having to pay fees to our bank in Canada to do so. All attempts to access our new Korean money failed so we returned to the bank the next day where, not ...

... hamburgers and we all quenched our thirst with a flourescent slush puppy (after much debate we decided the flavour had hints of tomato). By then the game was up - the thought of getting back on our bikes and cycling in the blistering weather was appealing to no one. And so the afternoon was spent in a very similar vein to the previous one. We no doubt missed out on seeing some national treaures but the alternative threat of sunstroke was too high a gamble to take ...
