Sticker booth photos!

Sticker booth photos are an amazing way to document long nights after big meals and lots of drinks. Or in me and my friends case, a Wednesday. As you can see, there are many ways one can decorate a photo to personalize it just so. Im still working on my technique.



This is Carrie and Shelby holding up a sticker booth masterpiece.

When tessa took a peice of my heart to Africa

Tessa left nearly TWO MONTHS ago and I'm not quite sure I have recovered. Carrie and I decided to say goodbye in the most creepy way we could; with I heart Tessa shirts. She had no idea. We just crept around the bar posing behind her. This is the second going away party I have had for Tessa in two different countries. Now at least I have the t-shirt to prove it.

Perparing to stalk:






Creeping around the bar. She still has no idea that We Heart Tessa:









Now she knows!



Passing around the Tessa Shirt for everyone to share:

Seoul food

Carrie's friend Shelby came to visit from Minnesota. She is amazing and I am in the process of trying to recruit her to Korea. She and Carrie took lots of food pictures which I have stolen. I have yet to get my camera situation sorted. Boo. Enjoy the photos:



Shelby, me and carrie.



the most amazing creation of all time. god love korea, and my heart surgeon in years to come. this, my friends, is a corn dog covered in french fries and deep fried. you heard me!



bimimbop is one of my favorite dishes. this is the bimimbop I will be dreaming about when I leave korea. yes, thiiiiiiis big.



red mango. they have great sherbet placed lovingly atop waffles and smothered in lots of toppings.



red bean poo. basically mashed up red beans stuffed inside a crispy waffle-like poo-shaped pocket. delicious.



red bean fish. basically the same as the red bean poo.

Daegu

A two hour train ride to Daegu with Blinky and Carrie to see her boyfriend Alex and our friend Graham, two lovely men from England. Between Carrie and Blinky, the two best snack packers in the world, we ate nuts, fruit, sandwiches and other yummy foods. The trip was nice...good to be in a smaller city. And of course, we found time to go hiking. Graham and Alex consider us "liberal americans." Could be all the hiking we did, could be the yoga we did outside the bar.



walking with (most) of the gang.



hiking.



carrie and I at the amusement park, which was amusing to say the least. I'm pretty sure this park would be condemned in the states.



Duck boats. Also would be condemned in the states.



Blinky doing bad things to Daffy.



Blinky and I on the way to the show in Daegu (Carrie's boyfriend Alex, Graham, and Blinky on bongos)...with pillows and overnight bags. Carrie says we are running away to join a band. I like that better.

Flower City

Yet another field trip and it was pretty much on par with all GDA field trips. Completely unorganized, totally rushed, and pretty much the most useless learning experience for the kids. But still fun and a good break from the usual. The kids thought the flowers smelled bad. They seemed relieved to be back on the bus and deep in the smog, where they could breath again. Oh, the city. (more pictures to come) P.s. Im listening to the WORST song I have ever heard on Lastfm.com by catpower. Barf. Just thought I would share that.

my sundays

are spent with these people, the doberman named Ellie, a little rescue pup named Punky, and other people that aren't in the frame of this photo. I will post more. This is the biweekly barbeque that I have begun in order to convince people that being Texan is indeed the best way to be. Chicken, steak, hotdogs, salads, fruit, and grilled chocolate bananas. Grrrrrrr.

Staches

Here are my best friends in Seoul. Tessa has since left for South Africa for school. Im clinging on to Carrie and Lindsey and making plans for Thailand after we finish here in Korea, and praying that it all pans out. Saying goodbye to good friends has become something I do far too often. For all my friends far away...though you may not hear from me as much now, you are never forgotten and frequently missed.

carrie, the maker of staches and good times.
