If you need an artificial limb, this is totally the best deal in town

I've been very busy over the past couple of days, making it hard to write a legit update for everyone. I can tell you that last night I went to the most spectacular Korean franchise bar/restaurant last night with some other teachers; you might ask, "What makes this Korean franchise bar/restaurant spectacular?" I would then tell you that each night, seemingly at a random time, the lights will go out and a loud techno version of "Happy Birthday" will play over the loudspeakers. Then strobe lights positioned at the corners of the room will start flashing, and out of the corner of your eye you will see two grown men--one in a dog costume and the other dressed as a chef with a giant head--running around to each table to dance in front of those seated. Periodically an MC will come over the loudspeakers and shout something entirely incomprehensible, but then again, I don't speak Korean. There's no rhyme or reason, but apparently whichever table screams the loudest for the costumed dancers gets a free round of soju. When I eventually become wealthy beyond all belief, I plan on opening a place exactly like this in the St. Louis area.

Back to my main point, I posted a bunch of pictures related to my past posts, and on this post, you can see some lovely shots documenting my Sunday excursion through Jagalchi, Mt. Yongdu Park, and Taejongdae. I promise to give you a thorough description of goings-on when things settle down here in SoKo.

(P.S. Leave some comments. I sometimes feel like I'm writing to air.)
