Chunnam Opening Day

The Chunnam Dragons had their opening day last week and of course we went to cheer them on. I have to say, they looked great (a little tired there at the end). It was a physically rough game (with the other team being a bit brutish if you ask me). In the end, the Dragons tied with Ulsan.

Opening day cheering!

And a magic wizard.

The half time show. Lots of drumming and circle running.

And of course the bench warmers can still warm up while the half time show is going on.

And when they scored, the stadium released giant amounts of confetti. It was amazing!

Some more confetti!

And some more drumming

Go Dragons!

Jonjesan Hiking

A few of us got together for a fabulous day of hiking near Boseong Tea Fields. I think the mountain we climbed was named Jonjesan, but it could be called something else. I really wasn't paying that close attention to the mountain name. I was paying close attention to the hike itself, which was amazing! As always, here are some pictures:

Robin's Visit at Nagan Folk Village

While Robin was visiting us, we took her to some of the best Korean Heritage Sites: Boseong Tea Fields and Nagan Folk Village. While we did take her to see some other neat stuff, these are the only pictures we have of our time together. I'm anxiously awaiting some photos from her, so you can see some of our cool adventure!

Ed: "Jen don't touch it!" Yup I did touch it. With glee. And yes, thats what you think it is.

Some local wild life.

A wild rabbit that has not been eaten!! A rare site in Korea.

My turn.

Some local houses.

Totem Pole of terror!

And finally, there she is! No its not a lamp shade, but rather a very stylish hat. I think Robin looks great with it on. Don't you??

Happy March!

Hooray for March!

We are beginning our final semester (for now) teaching in Korea tomorrow. It is actually an exciting time for both Ed and I. We finally are able to get back into the classroom and teach since December. We have new students to keep us entertained and to entertain in return.

In other news, we just spent two wonderful weeks with Ed's mom Robin who flew all the way over here to visit us! We were very excited to have her here and we had a WONDERFUL time with her! I'll post pictures of our travels when I get them edited (and from Robin too!).

Not much else to report other than that. Be prepared for the Third Best English Nickname Awards shortly. I hope I have some good ones for you this year!
