The people I have found.

I'm not sure where the time has gone, but I have less than two weeks left and I'm feeling so many things! This song just about sums it all up for now.

P.S. I'm pissed I missed Elton John in Billings! Honestly! Couldn't he have just waited a few more weeks!?

Children's Day

Holy adorable.

템플스테이

Brendan and I did a temple stay at Beomeosa in Busan (info).  Some go looking for balance and rest.  Some go looking for the meaning of life.  I basically had an extreme curiousity to fill.  I got that curiousity all taken care of.  While the temple was stunningly beautiful...I'm going to go ahead and put the temple stay curiousity behind me.  As much as I would love to post pictures of us in our little temple outfits, I'm afraid I just can't bring myself to do it.  I encourage anyone to go who wants to see what everyone is talking about.  However, I doubt anyone can find themselves in less than 24 hours, especially when being told the path to enlightenment through a volunteer translator.  The 108 bows are nothing compared to the amount of time you spend sitting on the floor which gets surprisingly painful. 

We took what we learned from our time with the monks and headed straight to the Wolfhound in Haeundae for some much needed fish and chips!  We had an awesome weekend! 

Almost 3 weeks left in Korea!

I seem to have been coming up with extra projects just to avoid organizing and packing (no thanks to Tumblr, my newest addiction). 

Handpainted cards.

Heart bokeh filter...

 

 which still needs some practice.

 Finished my Matroyshka dolls!

 Worked on a bouquet made of felt for an amazing bride.

 Oh and plus I spend most of my free time thinking about this place.

 And this place.



I'm so busy!  I swear!

(I didn't even mention studying German, working on CELTA coursework and watching the Real Housewives the second a new episode posts online...)

no scooters for you.

My pictures from this weekend were going to be of things like this:

(except I'm blonde)

But they ended up being mostly like these:

Renting scooters in Gyeongju did not pan out as planned.  However, there were still plenty of things to take pictures of, even if none of them involved adorable pictures with a scooter and retro motorcycle goggles.  Oh well.  Next time.  It was still a glorious weekend!

Spring in Korea is especially beautiful this year.  It is so nice to have a warm breeze in your face instead of the icy, driving winter wind.  I can't wait to spend my last 7 weeks (yikes!) taking in what Korea has to offer this time of year.  I'm sad another fantastic weekend is over, but only five days till the next one!
