Catch up!

Hey guys! So I have a lot to talk about. There is a video from Monday October 27th 2010. It was just talking about the temperature change. Nothing major just a normal day (some colored leaves). We also celebrated Margaret and Russel's one year anniversary. They had bought everyone a cake and Grace (Korean Teacher. Not the one from California) bought Pizza Hut for everyone and it was really cool. I had given them a nice large bottle of some fancier tea. Later on that night we went out and had Rose tea and Kimbop. Not a fan of some of the Kimbop but that Rose tea is amazing! On Saturday we went festival held in Iksan itself. This festival celebrates the wedding of a prince and princess sometime in history of who's name or dynasty I don' know. However it was cool and the were lots of awesome music, food, sculptures, and performances. We only stayed for two hours because it the tents were aimed for little kids (however I really wanted the bow and arrow). I hope you enjoy!


Cans, bottles and pets only please! Obviously (or hopefully) this is a typo!
Margaret and Russel brought us a cake to celebrate their 1 Year anniversary.




PIZZA HUT!
Later on that night we went to the tea house again (it is a very very common place to go to).
This is rose tea.



 So this is on the way to the festival. I haven't been to this part of town so I though you might enjoy this!

These apartment buildings are the tallest in Korea I feel. Every city I've been to (only 3 really) have buildings this tall and they are apartment buildings.

Another shot of apartment buildings.

Just looked cool to me.

Festival sign!





A wedding performance.


There were a lot of these kinds of sculptures. Random metal scrap and parts used to make these.

In this one if you push the trunk down the ears move.



These guys were awesome There was so much bass you could feel it.

The tempo is picking up.

The wedding parade!

If you can see it there are traditional style soldiers in the front (with swords) and back (with spears).



Now this group is cool. Some of them had things on their hats that, when they shook their head, spun around them. Watch the next video to see what I'm talking about.

A cool potter (Harry Potter!)


They way these things look I feel this is what they are telling me, "We are commmingggg to get youuuuu and then we're gonna killlll you!" (match that with a creepy version of "a tisket a tasket I lost my yellow basket.)


Some of these are singing!

Just jammin'

Hey! I found a Wisconsin Cow!

Remember that trunk moves the ears?

Well that kid in the back moved the drummer's head and suddenly it started playing.

Love tree! It has blue lights on it.


Well I hope you enjoyed this! I also forgot to tell you but I've been learning the Korean Alphabet. I feel at the end of this week I'll be somewhat golden. I have already read a lot of Korean. Don't know what it means though....
