A Journey In The....Second Month

Gosh it is just so hard to believe that it has been another month since I arrived in Korea.  It is just going so fast I really can't keep track of what's happening around me it seems.  I really haven't been doing a very good job of blogging.  Life gets in the way it seems sometimes or perhaps I just get lazy :( LAME.  I guess I don't always know what to talk about.  If anyone reading this has a question on something they would like to learn more about feel free to message me or something, or comment on the blog.

So far this last month I have:

become more acquainted with my job

gone to a huge (and polluted) city, Busan

 -Saw a cool aquarium
 -Saw a strange ice cream shop
 -Saw a wild fish market
 -Had what may of been Cuban food
 -May have developed a respiratory illness from the pollution :D (Can't prove it)
 -Saw a pretty neat beach (Hae-Un-Dae)

got a cellphone (although there may be some problems with that)

learned how to say "don't do that" in Korean (which can be a lifesaver when dealing with little kids)

read a few books (Deuteronomy, the Fellowship of the Ring, Star Wars: Vector Prime, Anthem)

ate some good pizza

saw an old temple (Gilsang Temple)

climbed a long staircase in the mountains

saw an unfinished interstate

enjoyed good company with good Christian folks

saw some amazing football matches

and probably more I can't remember.

Its hard to believe that after this next month is over I'll already be 25% thorough my year here.  It's just flying by.

I think I'll add some pictures of this last month:

A nice looking bulgogi pizza...

...the crumbs of that bulgogi pizza


A Chuseok gathering at church :D

That long staircase in the mountains


A tree on the mountain trail


The unfinished interstate


Gilsang Temple from above
(I searched the mountains for a few hours to locate this place only to find it at the bottom of the mountain)


Eastern architecture at it's finest


I went artistic

A close-up
Extremely detailed


The Busan subway (with my friend Wes)

Some of Busan in the distance


Skyscrapers in Busan


Posing on a rocky part of the shore of Hae-Un-Dae

The original carving from the man who gave Hae-Un-Dae its name
May be around 1000 years old


A really cool and funny no smoking sign


My friend Wes posing in front of an aquarium at the Busan Aquarium


Me in front of a rather large shark mouth 


Inside a bubble thing


The strange ice cream shop.  Am I the only one who sees some potential copyright issues in this photo?


A cool sign of Busan Aquarium


The sign for the fish market (wasn't really just a fish market I guess) 


The large market.  Was really cool.
