Lately

After two months of stealing wireless internet from my apartment, my most reliable connection died.  I had to bite the bullet and pay for my own internet. I'm finally connected once again.  Here are some pictures since my last post.  

This is the view from Seoul Tower.  I assume it's the tallest tower in Seoul.  The view is really breathtaking.  There are lights as far as the eye can see.

This is the scene from bar golf.  The rules are quite simple.  Teams of two. Each gulp counts as a stroke.  One gulp= hole in one. Three gulps= par. Each bar is a different hole.  We played nine holes.  I missed a crucial putt to put our team out of contention.  The winners shot perfect rounds of 9, all holes in one.  Not everyone finished.  

Here are some of my co-teachers and the principal who took us out for some sushi.  I've never been served so many courses of food in my life.  Delicious octopus, salmon, eel, tuna, and God knows what else.  It just kept coming.  Oh yeah, we got a little tipsy too.  Every time the principal drinks, we're supposed to follow suit.  I like the idea.  The principal is awesome. Everything he says sounds really wise and deep when translated.

Bupyeong Underground Market:  

I decided to look for a nice heavy coat to get me through the winter when I first arrived.  My one from home wasn't cutting it.  The Bupyeong market has hundreds of clothing stores next to the Bupyeong subway station for very cheap prices.  The only problem was that nothing fit.  Apparently I am an extra large in Korea.  Every coat I tried on, I couldn't move my arms easily.  I must've gone to ten different stores, all of which were too small in the same area.  I needed more "stretchy."  I had to settle for one from outside the Market.  It turned out to be a great purchase.  

I got lost many times trying to get back to the subway.  Every direction I tried to go looked the same.  The exit signs were misleading too.  They did not lead to an exit.  I think this place was designed for people to get lost, so they are forced to walk around long enough to see something they want to buy.
