Whistle, Hanboks and fun.

This is Joe, 10 years of age. Shirt reads 'WHISTLE If you'd like to see my instrument' Korea is the best.


Visited an Art Gallery at a man's home during a field trip with a few students, I think the man's name is Kim Beok So? he makes Hanji paintings - Three dimensional hanji is similar to paper mache, in that it attempts to make sculpture type objects which may stand unsupported. What's unique about his paintings is that the pictures have double meanings as they also represent letters and words of the Korean Alphabet.



The artist was gracious enough to offer me this small frame of my favorite piece of his for free. In Korean, the word written is 'Sound'. Thought it was pretty cool.


Front gate into Park Je Seong's Memorial. Created to keep the bad spirits away. Didn't work, the Japs took him out. Some king or another from the Silla Period, find it on Wiki if you're so inclined.


Ted, with AMAZINGLY awesome hair. It's like he's in space.


This is tard Tony, with his dirty dirty mustache wearing a Hanbok, traditional Korean clothing.


Trey, (I wish I was the one who had given him that name)


Uber cute Mary
