Korea, planes, ashtrays.

Korea Korea Korea...

Well, I spent about 20 hours in Korea. It was a little crazy, trying to be a weathered traveler and then not making a flight when I was supposed to. It was not my fault in the end, because when I landed I had about 20mins to get into my connecting flight back to Beijing. Which was literally impossible even though I was running to the gate. So I wound up staying at the airport guest house, which cost US$50, equivolent to 50,000 Korean Wan. I did not have any Korean Wan. I did not have any USD... I had RMB. Not knowing any exchange rates, I perspired my way to the exchenge desk with four damp 100 RMB notes in my hand, and said... how much do I get for this? I got 60,000 wan... YES! I even had enough to get a pepsi and a bag of peanuts. Not enough for a toothbrush or deodorant.

Let me just say, the things I saw in Korea were awesome. There was a dedicated cellphone charging station in the airport that had little cubby holes in it with every manufacturer of cell phone plug inside. Not to mention 3 or 4 dedicated videogame channels broadcasting live Starcraft battles. I better move there now to get in early on Starcraft 2 tournament rings! They also had about 10 English channels. Will post pictures soon.

no knives, no Guitars, no managers...

Here are some awesome pics from my adventures at the olympics... sorry it took so long!



















Bundesrepublik von Deutschland!

Xi'Dan, Mall, Ball Game...

This was after Tian'anmen. Met my favorite interpreter Dan... (he's not really an interpreter but when he's with us he becomes one lol) Got some pics of us in an arcade that was completely guarded because they don't want pictures being taken. We pleaded with one of the guys to let us take a couple because we were foreign and that we swear not to set up an arcade with the same floor plan as them... I guess that's what they are afraid of.

Must eat Sammy!



So these are some of the covert pics I had to take with my camera sticking out of my pocket. This game was crazy, real time war sim with two weapons and grenade throwing action.

Some crazy fast drum game that I couldn't even get online to play because it was so long.L for Loser!

So this lady and her family wanted a picture with us. We made her trip memorable apparently. I gave them my camera to take a picture, notice how they cropped out our buddy Dan... nice rule of thirds I guess!



Taking pictures while biking is amazing!
