Goat & mokoli village + a mini rant

Less talk:::more rock:: at least that's what blogger is telling me. As I have mentioned, blogger has some new weird thing with the formating which makes it terribly annoying and more than slightly difficult to comment on individual pictures. This being so I am most likely going to be typing less (not that I did too much to begin with) than usual on my photos and adventures. Perhaps I should look into switching servers. But judging by my never changing, not that wonderful blog design and layout as well as recent lack of post, I don't see that happening anytime soon. Sorry, keep in mind I would be commenting more and filling you in on details if blogger didn't bite the big one with this change. For now you will have to wonder things like, "Why are there so many pictures of cows?" or "What is that dog doing?'-- (answer ps- you never EVER see cows in Korea- and yet milk and beef is everywhere, two- Alex misses his mom while we dine on mokoli and pajeon) If you have a question, feel free to ask! And curses to you blogger for making my life more complicated than in already is!

Continuing on to the real fun...

Sansung Village known for it's goat meat and fresh mountain mokoli! We hiked (we skipped have and took the cable car half way then hiked the rest) up a mountain to a tiny and jaw-droppingly beautiful, mountain village. It was Children's day-- so we figured 'hey, eat a kid for the kids!' This town was so beautiful and as I found out, only a 20min bus ride from Busan! I wish I lived there! Maybe someday.... it was soooo beautiful. The pictures don't give it justice. Being in the mountains and country like that. Oh man, I was in love. And it gets even better, a man whom my friends met at a mokoli tour and making class the weekend before invited us to his HOUSE for this goat! We ate a goat fresh from his farm! What hospitality! His place was also host to other cultural activities such as pottery and clay work. It was neat to see the many projects around the place. Gardens and ponds, farm animals, the sun setting in the mountains, lanterns all over for Buddha's birthday! Man this was one amazing trip!!

Bloggie slack

Soren To Secrecy Klein says, "Your blog has not been exciting enough lately. I demand A)more drunken blurry pictures B)entertaining lies"

Awesome. This video persuades me to blog almost anything you please. Exciting stuff coming. A wonderful, amazingly beautiful goat village is on the forefront. And as far as your drunken blurry pictures go Dan's 30th birthday themed 'First Year Night' had everyone staying up until the sun was well into the sky last weekend.
Daejeon and possibly Daegu this weekend followed by camping the next and don't you forget I work here-- with all of this going on how do you expect my blog to be on time?!! xo

Seouled Out!!

A couple of weekends ago a bunch of us rented a van and drove up to Seoul for a mega concert called 51+ Over 70 bands played for free to try and save an old building where the show was hosted. Honestly, they need to tear the thing down. Good little fest though and even better time visiting with friends in good ol' Seoul. It was my first time there since last year in Korea. The time went much too fast.

There is some weird new formating going on with my blog. So I'm not going to write next to each pic. Also, I did take videos. But yet again I am skipping this portion for now. The run down-- lots of bands--some good/some bad, tons of rain which made it sloppy, dirty builiding, TACO BELL (yes!), and well Seoul.
I also scored some mac and cheese, hotpockets, and rootbeer while in that fine city. Just like livin' in America there!

Bits and pieces make a whole.

Hajimama show!

I took a few videos during this show and they are hilarious, few second clips. Who let me hold the camera that night, I don't know. They don't make much sense but they give you a glimpse. I'm still debating whether or not they are worth putting up. This show was with a bunch of punk and hardcore bands. Was a blast I say! Anyhow woohoo a couple of shots- and now I'm only two/three weekends behind! x
