Firstly Ken and I went to visit the Busan Aquarium three weeks ago, it was a pretty cool place however I didn’t enjoy it as much as I should have since my body started running a fever soon after I got there. Perhaps it was some sort of primal defence mechanism against all the scary sharks? I have no idea so I’ll just assume that is true.
More recently I went on a field trip with the kindergarten kids at my school. We went strawberry picking outside of town. Well kind of. Back when I was a kid strawberry picking was an industrious methodical task. This was more of a ‘lets see how strawberries are grown’ trip where the management dissuaded you from picking too many berries. It was a fun trip though and I got a few pics of some of the kids I teach.
There was a another school there that was tossing rocks at a sad looking dog on the resort. Our kids took a different approach and led by Nick they pet the dog, which turned out to be really friendly. Really really friendly as Mary Ann here discovered.
The Korean guy rushed to her aid I rushed for my camera ad the doggie tried to become special friends with her.
It wasn’t a great shot but luckily she went back to the dog a few minutes later and I managed to snap this one. The reaction on the other kids’ faces is priceless.
These are the kids using hammers to mash wet rice into a paste that I soon had to beg off of eating.
This is a shot of the kids enjoying the fruits of their labors.
These are some members of my youngest class: April, Kari and Sidney. I think Kari wins this round of the "cute off".
This is Luke and Wendy from my smart class. They’re holding hands, but I don’t know if that means anything. I think Luke maybe likes Wendy and she likes him but I think Wendy like likes Valentine (not pictured) more.
And here are all the kids together.
Yesterday Ken and I went to a Baseball game, only $2 admission and you can bring in your own beer and food. Our team was the Lotte Giants, who won 8-2. Fun time and met a bunch of Ken's friends.
Then Ken and I hit a Casino downtown. First time in a casino for me. 
Yeah, yeah I know by this age I should have been to one before but it turns out my intial instincts were right and I’m just not a good gambler. Fun time and when the dust settled I was only down $30. Luckily before we went to the casino I won a Winnie the Pooh doll in a crane game so I consider myself even for the night.
Next week going on a tour of the border’s Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) with Ken. Should be a fun time.

Now if you could only get your kids to smash peanuts instead of rice, you wouldn't have to worry about finding expensive imported peanut butter anymore!
Nice shot of some random dude in the dark in the first pic. Its almost enough to put into a blog and use as proof that you really are in Korea doing all these things you write about. Cute Korean kids and you made up names for all of them. Oh Kevin, such a great imagination you have. So, we gonna go for beers Friday? You're still over near Yonge right?
