Out on the town pics. My favorite snack when I'm out, little mini eggs. My friend Geoff, from Sacramento, also at Sogang with me, and I partying it up, at the club the restaurant with the Koreans, and after a long night of dancing on club day, the last friday of every month. Unlimited clubbing at all the clubs in Hongdae for 15 bucks. Geoff Fattig, my partner in crime.

Our tour guide, a shot of the imposing N. Korean flag, largest in the world, and a model of the DMZ.

More pics of the DMZ. The flags of the countries that had some say in the ordeal. Me, lightheartedly, mocking the guard, and a close up shot of the building on the North Korean side that for a long time was only a facade of a building, the power of communist propaganda.

These are all DMZ pics from my visit back in October. Pictures of guards by the famous pagoda. And the blue buildings, half in N and half in S Korea, where the diplomatic meetings that decided both places fates in relation to each other are made.

The first pic is Shaonan and Mashuika in the foreground, a good chinese friend of mine and a girl from Mongolia, respectively, and in the background. A swedish lady who is married to the Israeli ambassador to Korea. We didn't get along very well. Speaking of ambassadors, I am good friends with the son of the Argentine ambassador to Korea; we met in Japan. How small the world is. Also, speaking of a small world. One of the things I really like about Sogang is the number of cultures that come together to learn Korea. I had never met anyone from Bangladesh or Uzbekistan and now I have a person from each of those country in my class, very refreshing.

Next picture, good friends of mine. Two middle-aged Japanese ladies. Chie and Mizue. We go out every once and a while for karaoke and drinks. They are kind of like older sisters. They are a lot of fun, and I am picking up a lot of old women Japanese idioms, haha. it's strange, I don't ever really get along to great with people my age. I always joke that I am an old man stuck in a young body, fortunately too.

last pic, is the front part of the Sogang campus. This is the gate I walk through every morning.

This is my speaking class during second level as well with my favorite teacher at Songang. Mr. Im. He is a great guy. This is the guy that hooked me up with fourth level, and skipping third, we've been to karaoke together, and he loves hanging out with out class, great guy. Also notice the crucifix in the background, nothing like a Jesuit college in Korea.

This is my second level writing class. 9am to 10 am every morning form September through the end of November.
