Terrence's Darangee Village Trip

Last weekend I went to Darangee Village on Namhae Island of the south coast of Korea. It was fantastic. Below are photos that I took of my weekend. It was an experience I will never forget.

The octopus that I caught with my bare hands after the tide went out!!!

Below is the last picture I have of my pet octopus.... I had already eaten half it raw and wriggling......

Lunch was all hand caught in a fish trap in a near by cove. We where in knee deep water grabbing decent sized mackerel right out of the water. You had the option of eating it raw or grilled. I did both. Best fish I have ever had.

I was not only able to stay with a Korean host family in their small village home but also they fed me a traditional Korean breakfast. I do not have a picture of breakfast but it was Fish and Korean side dishes, one out of the 14 dishes on the breakfast table was what I consider breakfast food, it was something resembling an omletish thing. With that said I still found it delicious.

Below are pictures of the rice fields that I was able to plow with an ox and then plant with the villagers.

Apartment Fire!

I think many of you have already seen this, but, here it is. Last week, there was a fire in the apartment building next to us. It was a gas range fire, and took about an hour to finally put it out. It was pretty scary, how close it was to our window. We don't think anyone got hurt, and the good news it that the fire trucks showed up within two minutes of the fire starting!

Lemons

One of my students brought a lemon for Show and Tell. The kids thought I was little crazy when I cut it up, and told them to eat it. They each took a piece and started running around eating them and yelling. I haven't laughed so hard in a while. One boy was almost in tears yelling "Noooo Lemon".

Picnic in the Park

This Sunday we to Olympic Park and had a picnic. It was like 87 degrees, and a little windy, so it was perfect. We both got a little sun, read a little, and just relaxed!

We are so happy the weather is finally getting nice.

TWO months until Malaysia vacation!

Double Birthday

On Wednesday I had Jenny and Erin's Birthday on the same day. They were both so cute and excited!
