Many pictures for many days!


Gwanghwamun - near city hall

Seoul museum of art - try to make sense of this montage!

Waaaa

What a man !

"come and visit Ontario Canada with our colorful leaves... and little else to please Koreans!"

Wine bar in Gangnam

Hmmm good Chilean wine

Gyeong-min's good friend Hee-jin

So cute!

Should I say it again? What a man!

Gilsangsa temple in Seoul - peaceful

Gilsangsa - I don't know why but I think of hobbits...

Friendship ?

I've finally found the Elvis Presley Boulevard - it's in Seoul!!!

Peace and love :)

Awesome tea house in Gangnam - this is actually a cubicle and it's so relaxing!

It's starting to be cold around here, mind you it's still around 20ish during the day but the nights are chilly. Floors are heated in Korea, unlike Montreal where you have hot air thrown away all over the place. So I think I'll open the heater in a month or so! I just bought a 23 inches LG monitor - I was tired of my 11 inches screen on my netbook. Now I can actually work on my PC. I've also taught some classes alone. Sixth grade kids are sooo annoying and they don't listen. First and 3rd grade are so cute though!
Ah yeah, Korean like telling you important things at the last moment! Like "you're going to have to teach this class alone"! Sure it would help to tell me at least 1 day before. I think it has something to do with not losing face or not wanting to disappoint somebody before the time. Anyways now I'm prepared for anything.
I was on Korean TV! SBS Seoul was filming a show on Mathieu, Seah and her mom during Chuseok and I was there! So they kept footage of me. I'll get a video soon so I'll post it so that everyone can see my 5 minutes of fame (or shame!). I technically could have been seen by a pool of 25 million viewers - not too shabby :)
I'm starting to feel like this was my apartment more and more. I just need to add more wall scrolls, posters and what not. Nothing in here is my choosing so it's kind of hard to feel like this place is my own, but I'm adding more and more stuff (which cost nothing) so it's getting there!

Blospot is nice and all but it's so annoying to add pictures... there must be a better blog site or a way that I'm not aware of to add pictures rapidly... hence the reason for not updating too much recently! I'll get to it though... eventually!

Spent the last 2 days in parks! Children's Grand Park and Hangang river Park. Weather is so nice this time of year in Korea (September and beginning of October).
view from the 60th floor (Sky Art) of the 63 Building - how many people live in this area you figure ?
a small part of Seoul
another small part of Seoul
and yet another part of Seoul - half the population of the country lives here (which is roughly 24 million people)
