Favorite place in Korea thus far,
Seonyundo island
1.5 hr ferry ride from Gunsan-shi














ample places to climb ride and explore. the ferry ride was rather nice as well. as you can see nearly everyone took the opportunity for a nap.

 The spider, dropping down from twig,
 Unfolds a plan of her devising,
 A thin premeditated rig
 To use in rising.

 And all that journey down through space,
 In cool descent and loyal hearted,
 She spins a ladder to the place
 From where she started.

 Thus I, gone forth as spiders do
 In spider's web a truth discerning,
 Attach one silken thread to you
 For my returning.

it's been a rainy few days over here in the ROK,
and it is test time for the munchkins which means paper work for the teachers...

 wilted freesias
an epic ground score!
the range of awkwardness on this little apparatus is mind blowing.

it's official,
spring has sprung.


flowers are blooming,
jackets are shed,
 and cabbies are breaking out the seat doilies.

in an unprecedented bipartisan decision, 


all the kiwis in apt 1506 ripened at the same time.

 Today was election day in the good ol' R-O-K so even the aliens got the day off.
The vast majority was spent hiking, climbing and ruckusing in Wolmyeongsan Park.
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Every trail in Korea is punctuated with fitness centers.
Usually a seemingly random arrangement of poles,
Pull up bars,
One person merry-go-rounds,
and the
occasional foot reflexology walking garden.

Currency

The largest denomination boasts a portrait of Shin Saimdang.
Who was both a poet and an artist.
 
Get it girl.

all your homes stacked like dioramas 
testaments to what you keep close

and at times 
when the space grows too small
the laundry dries over the plants
suspended in process
a table rests on the wall
