Some stuff that I did that isn't really worth blogging about but is the only thing I have to blog about.

I love stumbling upon replicas of things in Seoul that I have seen in the real world.

For example, here is the real clock tower in Prague. I saw this once. It wasn't that cool in real life even.


Here I am in front of a fake Korean version that I found once when I was lost and looking for a friend. Even lamer in Korea.

The other week I hung out with Ji Soo and Katie in Seoul. Macalester reunion! J took us to Homeplus in the middle of the night. I bought many expensive groceries. It was great.


Earlier in the night we went and sat by the Han River. Aside from all the apartment complexes it reminded me a lot of hanging out on the docks in Yankton.

Look, I was there too!

other things.

Hannah and Hannah celebrating cinco de mayo with no limes on Hannah's terrace.
I went to my coworkers engagement party on an island near Seoul. The view was nice.


Hannah, Minji and I on the roof at the wedding.


The collection of gifts I received for teacher's day. I am now the proud owner of a collection of very expensive cosmetics!

lantern festival

I swear I'm still in Korea even if I never update my blog.

Anyway, yesterday every other foreigner and I went to watch Seoul's big lantern parade. It's in honor of Buddha's birthday which is coming up this next weekend.

All in all it was a pretty impressive parade. It lasted like 3 hours. Here are pictures:












Here's one with me in it just to prove that I'm actually still here.

another field trip.

On Friday we went to some sort of zoo/dinosaur museum/greenhouse as a field trip. The zoo was really epically tragic. But they had a ring-necked pheasant. I tried to explain to the kids why I had to stop and take a picture but I don't think they really understood.


I felt pretty bad for them at any rate.

cherry blossoms.

The cherry trees are presently blooming. It looks really nice. All of the foreigners are talking about it. And I mean maybe the Koreans too but I can never really be sure.

These are the trees on a street by my school. I haven't hit the real tourist destinations yet. So, more photos to come.

An update.

In Korea, there are fish tanks in the streets full of monsters. You can buy them and eat them!



This is Jon's apartment. It is on the 13th floor which is bad luck. But still, the luxury is absurd.


I bought houseplants.


Here is what Korea thinks England is like.

This is Hannah acting just like all English people act in a tea shop just like all English tea shops.

Easter.

I'm really sad today because it is Easter and I am stuck in Korea all by myself. With no scalloped potatoes, no chocolate, no jello eggs. Sometimes I really don't like it here and today is one of those days.
Anyway, I miss you all terribly and hope you have a Happy Easter!
