After hiking on Sunday I went to visit a temple at the base of the mountain.

Veterans Day
Happy Veterans Day! This is a picture of some children on the outskirts of Kandahar in early 2002. We used to throw them our rations, and candy if we had it, on patrols though the villages of Kandahar.

234th Marine Corps Birthday
Happy 234th Marine Corps birthday! This is a picture I took in Kandahar, Afghanistan, in late 2001. It seems like forever ago, and like yesterday.

Day and Night
This dude has the second best hat in Seoul, after my Steelers cap.
A picture of me in the mirror at the Chinese place next to my apartment. I sometimes eat jajung for breakfast -- noodles with black bean sauce.
Everyone at Tom n Toms before Kevin catches the bus back to the San Francisco. We may never see him again! (And he spoke decent Korean!)
After work, HeiSaun seems happy talking on the phone outside She's Bar in Hyundai Venture Ville (where I live).
One of the best meals on earth is sundubu chigae at GooMaGoon.
HyungSu is possibly the best cook in Seoul. She makes the chigae, along with my other favorite, godenga yahng nyam gui.
Not long ago, KunHyungNim was the #1 Bantam Weight boxer in Asia, and #3 in the world. Now he owns the supermarket behind Venture Ville and takes us to the norabang (karaoke).
KunHyungNim likes to sing, the first time I met him we ended up at the norabang. Tonight he is trying to get the girls to go, too.
"No, we're going to sleep," say the girls. But we'll sing here.
But, we end up at the norabang, anyway.
My favorite thing to do is sing songs I don't know, including back up for Korean songs.
Later, at She's Bar, it appears HeiSaun is no longer happy.

Halloween in Seoul
Before going out on Halloween.
A confused panda in the subway station.
A group photo of English teachers after a nice Mexican dinner in Korea.
We lost half of the group on the crowded streets on the way to the next spot!
After we rejoin, Edward Scissor HAND is able to get a light.
Drunken panda, an ongoing theme throughout the night.
Kevin and ... I forget his name, pose for a picture at a club I forget the name of also ... I love Halloween!
The girls pose for a picture. Lucky for me someone helped me out with a flash. I could only find 200 ISO film.
Before I caught a cab (because I ran out of film) from Hongdae back to Jangandong, I stopped to buy some film. The girl behind the counter wanted to try on my costume. JJang!!

My New, Old Point-and-Shoots
When I ordered my Nikon F5 and F100 SLRs from KEH.com I decided to get a couple of point-and-shoots, too. I got this Lite Touch Zoom 130ED and this vintage Zoom Touch 400. The Lite Touch is newer, introduced in 2002, but it's made in China. The Zoom Touch is a 1990 model also known as the Nikon TW Zoom 35-70, and it's made in Japan. JJang!! I can't wait to see the photos from them.
