this is a reposting of my fifth facebook album of korea for those not on the site.
friday night fun:
hanging out in our apartment
"let's have a photo where we're all laughing!"
jimmy decided to go the safer route in opening the second bottle of sparkling wine after the first nearly took his eye out
nick brought back a beverage from across the border (north korea) for us to sample. in the next few photos are the faces it caused
jana is skeptical
jimmy is horrified
nick is trying not to spit it out
i am disgusted
noraebang!
getting ready/picking out our set list
jimmy had to sing "creep" by radiohead even though everyone else vetoed it
singing to his lady :)
one of a few impromptu thriller dances of the night
franzi came to visit:
we grabbed some street food while shopping in dongdaemun
some of it was sketchy
but we enjoyed our nice snack break
at dinner in itaewon. friends for twenty years!
this was the best burger i've ever had
we took a night cruise on the han river...the weather was perfect and the lights were beautiful :)
the famous 63 building
city glow
seoul forest:
you can climb inside this giant wire man. next time i come here i'm going to play in the legs with the korean kids
beautiful peaceful area near the deer enclosure
sun setting behind n seoul tower
bridge across about ten lanes of traffic
hello little friend
fun, but not water that i'd want to risk falling into
sunset over seoul (taken from the midpoint of a really long walk across the river via highway bridge)
rush hour. this is why bikes are better
a beautiful, random kindergarten-less thursday morning...aka why it's great to be an english teacher in korea
venturing up to namsan one evening:
this was the only direction-giving sign i saw besides the one right outside the subway station. in between i encountered a lot of winding alleys, a highway with a tollbooth, and lots of stairs
my ride to the top!
playing with the macro feature on my new camera
this sign made me laugh
city by night
pagoda near the top
view on the ride back down
city hall on a saturday afternoon:
this huge representation of the south korean flag is hiding renovation/construction work on the city hall building
city hall plaza. there was some drama presentation going on...
...fountains to play in...
...and a chili pepper festival, complete with a chili pepper tunnel through which you could walk
spicy little buggers (but only if you bite the seeds by mistake)
seoul museum of art, a short walk from city hall plaza
they had an awesome exhibit on optical illusions. the walls, floor, and ceiling in this room were covered in mirrors, and there were mesh balls of different sizes suspended from the ceiling
the "black hole" room. trippy.
holographic portrait
abstract art exhibit upstairs. konglish finds a home...
hanging out by the han river:
i'm not sure what this giant ruler is for, but it'd be scary if its purpose was to measure water height when the river floods
dusk at the boat launch
olympicgyo (olympic bridge)
night falls on the city
do yeon's birthday:
ceiling filled with balloons at his friend's bar
delicious cake! (thanks jin ho and julius)
helium + speaking in any language = good laughs
blowing out the candles
