So, I had a few pictures to share, none of which seem to particularly go together... but, at the same time, I couldn't exactly leave outdated photos of me battling tonsillitis when it's been gone for a few weeks now, could I?
We've been doing well, and the days have been going quickly, for the most part. Fall has come with its cooler weather, and there's been plenty of sun and perfect feeling days! October makes me love Korea more than I did before... Next weekend, we're setting off on a three-hour bus ride to the coast to revisit our beloved Sokcho and Mt. Soraksan, which will hopefully be ablaze in fall colors! In the meantime, life has been a bit dull in terms of documenting it with pictures or stories on this blog. However, here are a few selections from the last couple of weeks:

On an evening bike ride to our Korean friends' house for dinner...
A post-dinner workout at our friends' house (the same night). A lot of Koreans are fans of the hoolahooping (though they call it something I can't remember). It's like no hoola hoop you've seen or experienced before, I am telling you! It's got little jabby things on the inside that apparantly "melt" or "work" your abdomen fat away while hoola-ing. All it caused for me was grief. I guess I'm just not strong enough. ;)
View from our friends' apartment. A little nicer than ours, n'est-ce pas?
Last week, I had my 11-year olds write messages to their foreign teacher who returned home, and I couldn't help post some of their artwork/doodles. So incredibly cute in a remarkably Asian-cute style. I'm not sure if it's true in real life, but cartoonized Asians sure seem to wink a lot. (thanks to Berry for her drawing)
My student, Julie, drew this one.

You should definitely keep posting these pictures, I love seeing them!
Weird, normally it uses my display name from my e-mail account as my username on here. Oh well, I'll repost here so you guys know who that weird guy was.
ooh fun pictures...i love the one of your bike ride...you're on a sweet adventure my friend! also, hola hoop with freakin' bumps?! WHA?!? hahahah
Julie! I've totally tried the hoola hoop thing! Christine had one when we were in dorms together first year! It hurts like crazy... and leaves bruises! I did not believe that it could actually work the abs... but maybe I am wrong...
Anyways, looks like you are doing well and that you are have some fun adventures! Good to see. :)
