pictures woo!

My first week here I met a guy down the street who owns this awesome little photo shop and speaks English so he's helped me with a million things since then. This week he ordered me this cool gadget thingy that plugs into my computer and i just pop my memory card into it since I lost my camera cord and would have to go to Seoul to get a new one. Soooo, I'm just going to put some pics for this post!

Last weekend we went to Busan for the long weekend! Friday was gorgeous and I, of course, got totally fried.




Ok. This is HUGE. When I visited my friend Kristy in North Carolina when I was in high school I fell in looooove with this stuff. And you can't find it anywhere on the west coast...but you can get it in Korea????




Woohoo!


Busan at night




Saturday and Sunday it poured...we walked by this group of kids playing a baseball game before it started monsooning out (not sure if "monsooning" is a word...). Love the kid with the megaphone:)


Saturday night we went to the aquarium in Busan which is the biggest one in all of Korea...and they had SHARKS! Anytime I see anything to do with sharks or dinosaurs I automatically become about 5 years old. I could live in this aquarium for the rest of my life and be perfectly happy.







I had no idea that you're not supposed to be on the beach if a tsunami happens... :)


These pics aren't from Busan but I found this amazing route about a half mile from my house that is my new favorite place to run. Not only does it remind me of Trinidad but there are no people!




Welp, that's all for now! I love reading all of your comments even though I'm horrible at responding to them. Keep em coming!

  2. Ash...1st thing - hate to say it, but those gadget thingies you are talking about to put your photo card in have been around a LONG time - it's all I use to upload my pics, so I'm glad you have entered the 21st century.

    2nd thing I have to say is that they totally have Caribou coffee in Minnesota and I had a LOT of it when we were just there. They have the good powder white chocolate (not gross syrup like Starsucks). I, like you, liked it a lot (although there were really flakey peeps working there - for example, the girl working was trying to open the drive through window that was ALREADY OPEN - so she just looked like an idiot trying to open air waving her hand side to side). Good story, huh?

    3rd thing - love ya!

    4th thing - love the pics!

    5th thing - bye bye now

    6th thing - blah pss
