I was moving in, there were guys out in the yard clearing brush, but none of that bothered the pheasant roosting in my back yard. <br><br>Here is the house, it is a duplex, by buddy Ray lives on the other side. This works out great, we share bottled water, cleaning supplies ...

... white fruits are placed in the West, and there cannot be any peaches offered. Apparently peaches upset the ancestors, which could result in a poor harvest next year. One of the most common foods eaten during this time is songpyeon, which is a type of rice cake with pine needles. On Chuseok eve, families make the songpyeon together under the full moon.

... there were so many people...was this a special camping area for homeless individuals? Then I slowly realized that most of these folks were waiting for trains.

... Service was lovely. The first meal that was served had a choice of Korean food or American. I tried the Korean which was Bibimbap a type of soup that has to be assembled. I received a card with directions. The soup bowl had spices and an assortment of vegetables. The flight attendant added hot water and then I added hot white sticky rice, a little of the hot pepper paste, sesame oil and mixed it. It was quite good. I saw another version of it at ...
