These two guys are the latest Dongtan residents. Cool guys.

I don’t know who this guy is drinking with my wife, but I am now looking for 1 more teacher at my school.


Tough guy’s birthday!

Wednesday 3 hours sleep- Bus trip to the embassy to apply for JJ’s Visa
Thursday 3 1/2 hours sleep – Kindergarden
Friday-5 hours sleep- Picking books and lunch with the boss
Saturday +10 hours hopefully

I will update later with a full report of my trip for JJ’s visa. I applied for the I-130 at the American embassy in Seoul, but still have to make one more trip on Tuesday to drop off one more needed paper.

I took a power nap today after picking out books for the new classes and then went out to celebrate Troy and Joanne’s birthdays. We had dukgalbi and then moved on to Addonnis. We also ended up at Junco for some whiskey and singing. Loads of pictures to come tomorrow!

Soul Zoo Part 2

I enjoyed the zoo and look forward to returning. I was sitting around tonight trying to figure out where I am going to go next Saturday. I was thinking about trying to make it to Dongjak, Insadong or somewhere else in Seoul. I will probably check out some of the other photo galleries on the Flickr in Seoul group and make a decision later this week.

Seoul Grand Park Zoo

I really thought the weather was going to ruin my day, but I stayed dry all day and the rain didn’t really start until after 10. I took the subway all the way to Seoul Grand Park. It really only took about an hour. The zoo is not the greatest I have ever visited, but for 3,000 won, it is a heck of a deal. I took a bunch of photos and wondered around for a few hours. The park was crowded today. I think with the nice weather, everyone decided to head to the zoo. I run into a couple of photography clubs and even saw someone toting around a 200 1.8. I tried to catch up with him and see what he was shooting, but lost him in the crowd. I covered most of the zoo today, but didn’t see the primates. I was losing light and wanted to hang out around the hippos, but could never get a good shot.

It looks like the weather is going to be crap for the rest of the weekend. I foresee a very lazy day tomorrow. I have an appointment at the American embassy on Thursday and will update later on our process for JJ’s visa and what all was required.
