Thailand!!!!!! First pic: one of the numerous and majestic temples that line the Thai scenery. These things go up almost as fast as the commercial buildings that go up in Seoul, I swear I blink or turn away once and it's built. The South Koreans sure are industrious little fellas. Second pic: Myself and the Thai Jack Sparrow; this is one of the most hilarious people I have ever met. I usually don't laugh out loud but this guy did. He had it down, the drunken gait, the talk, he even said "there goes my black pearl as a taxi went by", not to mention the phony international driver's license that said Jack Sparrow, or was it phony? Third and Fourth Pic: My brother and I in front of a shrine to a queen who drowned. We were at Pliu waterfall. It was absolutely stunning. When you first get there, you may think the water is black, but actually, it is as clear as can be and is actually just brimming with fish. Check out my brother's blog for a picture. Last pic: This is On, she showed me around Chonburi when I headed out that way.

A day out with Lucas, my partner in music, each standing behind our respective statues of our Chinese zodiac, the dragon and the rat.

A day at Seoul Grand Park on a beautiful autumn day in Seoul, some of the most beautiful fall foliage I have seen in my life here in Korea. And, of course, a bear at their zoo, I was impressed, although terribly saddened, by the large selection of animals they had. They even had a giant tortoise from The Galapagos. He looked so hot under the heat lamp he was under!!

The infamous picture of the infamous Paris Hilton. She is on the right. Boy, was that a crazy night. It was funny, because when she came out it was almost as if she had forgotten what country she was in. Oh Paris.

First pic is a building at Ehwa Women's University. The area I live in, Shinchon, is great because it has three major universities, Ehwa, Yonsei (who I think is a wannabe Yale, haha), and Sogang, so it is a very happening and youthful part of Seoul. Notice the Ivy League-esque architecture of the building.

There I am with a Korean statue, and then my good friend Shaonan, great kid. I was going to go to China with him for Christmas, but since I am planning on being at PKU next year, we agreed to do it next year.

Last pic is a building at the Yonsei campus; they have a beautiful campus. It is on a type of hill, with a lot of trees, and great places to sit and read, or just relax. They also have little traditional looking places like the one in the pic.

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.
