Ahh Buddhist temple food is hella good.
I went to Jeju Island a few months back, which is the southern most area of Korea. Many of these pics are from the island, which was nice but too damn cold. Islands are always warm, right? even in winter?
If you click on these pics they will enlarge. Read the caption on this one. I thought it was pretty funny at the time. I like the idea of gods coming out of holes in the ground.
Daron told me of these low, hazardous looking power lines of Korea. They are no joke. 
"Sunrise peak" and the temple on it. Twas nice.
Yes, these are from the "sex theme park" in Jeju. Koreans use to go to the island for their honeymoons, so someone made this park. Lot's of dick everywhere. First it is was very strange, then amusing, and after awhile just tacky and dumb.
Hunter, (or so I assume because you're the only person I know in Denver who is funny)
Big maze. Josh Wedding quote in maze "this maze sucks, it's just a path." ....then 20 minutes later "ohhh god I have to pee and we're lost in this insanely difficult, large, godforsaken maze"
Lava tunnels. woooooo.

the reason that there is no thrusting going on in this pic is because my dad took the photo. We're close enough where I can say "take a picture of me by that huge green penis" but I'm not gonna do anything more than stand in the picture and look stoic. Ohh, yes those are supposed to be mosaic ass cheeks behind me.
These drinking fountains were by far my favorite sculptures at the park

Democrats abroad. These guys helped me with my absentee ballet, and I'm glad they did.

not very photogenic.
3 people have emailed me saying something along the lines of "that pic with your dad and the crying guy is really good." Well, the fact that it is really good should tell you that I didn't take it. A bunch of Americans got together at this bar to watch the election results. Some AP guy took the photo and it ended up on a "reactions to the election around the world" story on Time magazine's website. The results came back during the day and I was teaching.

At the same bar at night a bunch of people where celebrating. This guy thought there was no way that America would ever elect BO so he lost a bet and had to get a tattoo of Obama speaking Korean on his ass. nooo, just kidding. He lost the bet and had to shave his head. They passed around the trimmer and everyone had a go.
That night I fell in love with a British woman who I haven't seen since. sigh.
The view from my window. It sure beats the Hoosier Mnsion view, i.e. our neighbor's porch awning which always had a flag of Santa, America or an Irish leprechaun.
These pics are all quite old by now. The sheets the school gave me-FUGLY. I'm not the type of guy to complain about free bed sheets, but.... Now I've got a few pillows and less hideous sheets, which we're hard to find because, apparently, Koreans love fugly bed sheets.
That's my dinner table that I got from the curb. Fold out leg with floor cushions. It makes a lot of sense for small flats with heated floors.
Desk, fridge and armoire. That gong is now in my classroom. If you're not paying attention in Wedding's class you get a "krrrrannnng" to the ear.
Efficiency baby. All within a few square feet you've got a stove, sink, rice cooker, blinder, water boiler, cabinets and a washing machine. All I need now is cast iron and I'll be set. That's the TV at the edge of the right corner.
My shirt is on and I don't have a mustache so this is not a "douche bag in mirror shot." This is my bathroom. Basically one big shower, Korean style.
Thanks for reading.

"Obama". No I still don't really know much Korean. I can read and that's probably about as good as it's gonna get.

I am content to look at your pictures and wonder for now.
You only really look like an asshole in that one picture in front of the bell.
Maybe the photos of your dad and your house are my favorites.
What the Hell is going on?
I didn't know you were in Korea. I didn't even know you had a blog--and I can't remember how I got here!
send me your email address buddy! I have pictures of you at Kyle's wedding! or you can just start a facebook account and look at them there
You is need words. Tibor lost sight in two of his eyes with fight in kitty cat. Now it take 1,000 words for someone explain me pictures.
nice. is that the sex park in Jeju? Also, never thought you would be the picture in the mirror of the bathroom kinda guy... It's ok, we've all done it.
Josh, for the life of me I just can't understand why you weren't standing at the ball-end of that giant green dong, staring toward the lady, with one hand in the air -- mimicking a gyrating motion. The sort of motion that, if started, can never be truly be stopped. Or maybe, your lower half in the aforementioned position but with your torso facing the camera and both shoulders shrugged; as if to say, "Your guess is as good as mine." I don't care if its been done before damn-it! I expect results...
Hope all is well.
swank apartment.
It is amazing how nostaligic I can be sometimes over those gray street scenes with their multi-layered signs and draping bundles of electrical cords.
Every street looks like that. Evidence of life too complex to understand is everywhere.
I like the 오바마 sign. :o)
채인기. (change)
More posts please!
I love reading your blog. Unfortunately I just found it. I'm WAY outta the loop. I love the fact that your fellow teacher learns crappy English from Britney Spears songs... Who''da thunk?
