What and where is Korea?

Okay someone sent me $5 so I got something to say:

I call my students every Wednesday to have a short conversation on the telephone. They are called Happy Calls.

This week the subject was ANIMALS

I call my student Tim first.

I said "Tim do you like animals?"
yes
"Good. Do you like they dead or alive?"
alive
"Tim do you like to eat animals?"
yes
"Which animals do you like to put in your mouth.. to eat?"
Pig
"So you like to put pigs in your mouth?"
uh yes
"So the pig is dead when you put it in your mouth.. so don't you like animals more dead than alive. Wouldn't you rather have animals dead?"
no. I like them alive
"But Tim, you like them dead to eat. That doesn't make much sense."

I found out today that beer and cereal don't go well together.

oh god. after 148 posts on this blog I think I"m out of funny things to say.

I've reported everything from compassionate hand-holding police officers to shooting guns in theme parks. Have I exhausted the humor of Korea?

I think only money will help! Please send me money. Leave comments if you want to save humanity with your email so I can send you an address to send checks and money orders.

YOU GOTTA CHECK OUT PETER'S BLOG for more THAILAND PHOTOS.

And finally there is just about every tourist in Thailand. They all want to wear Diesel and look cool right? But they buy these diesel shirts that only say Diesel on them. Diesel doesn't make such a shirt and by the end of my trip Peter and I would laugh pretty hard at people like this. The sad thing is when everyone goes home to their countries no one will know it is not diesel except people who actually buy diesel.

oh well who cares. Diesel is over priced anyway.

Except this guy. Here is a true hippy. He has been in Thailand since the Vietnam War and he's loving it! You sport that pink like the long pink shirts the ghetto kids in Brooklyn were wearing a few years ago.

Like this guy. YO IN YOUR HIPPY THAI SHIRT. you aren't fooling anyone. everyone can tell you are white trash from Everett with your Van Dutch bag.

So Peter and I read about this thing called Fantasia or something in Thailand where they took taditional Thai theatre and combined it with lasers and electronic music. We thought this was pretty funny and stupid too.
A few days later we were in this town getting ready to go to the airport when we met this girl. She was pretty cute so we hung out with her. she wanted to drink so we went to the 7/11 and bought beer. she then said (remember i have known her for 5 minutes) "lets go to my hotel and drink." Peter and i didn't want to so we sat down somewhere and looked at each other pictures.
This girl was a complete slut! all her pictures were of her with guys she met at the airport and that she went to her hotel and drank with for "5 hours and then i never saw him again"
ahhh okay you weird sluttly school teacher from Australia.
Then I looked up and found we were sitting below Fantasia!!!! Peter and I had a good laugh about it and explained to her how stupid it was.
When peter and I had to go she got up and said that she was going to go check out the shows because it sounded cool.

Why is it the weirdest people in foreign countries are the foreigners?

back in thailand i had to take a bunch of empty beers through airport security

another picture of Sangnisan in Korea.
as you can tell the river is iced over but it is as cold as it is in Seattle. SPRING IS COMING THANK JESUS

I had to go to a theme park with my school. I thought I was suppose to watch the kids but they let all the kids run free.. even the 8 year olds. I guess korea doesn't have child kidnappers. Anyway I found a gun range (even though guns are illegal except for police.. and this gun range) and shot a 9mm. The racoon cartoon was proud of me.

Also back in korea I just can't seem to stop laughing!
Please deal with the fact I upload pictures in the wrong order.

This and the next photo are in Sangnisan. Thailand is beautiful but so is Korea even if the temperatures and climate are opposite.

On a ferry he immediately became friends with a military guy and some goats.

I was jealous

climbing at Tom Sai (world class climbing area) was wicked.

As you can see I wasn't putting on any harness and dealing with that bullshit. This cave doesn't need a rope!! I mean.. a bunch of people there were using the rope as training wheels and not as protection by pulling themselves up on the rope to get to the holds.

we also climbed in private lagoons and did some soloing over the water off our kayak. I got pictures of that but i'll upload later.

there are some sick mother fuckers in Bangkok.

these ugly fat disgusting white fucks pay these teenagers to be their bitch for a day, an hour, 10 minutes, a week for little money.

This guy isn't fat but his face looks like someone beat him with a pole when he was little boy and now he is constipated and trying to release a load.

Some of the fat ugly white guys made me want to run up and kick them. but I didn't because I would go to jail.
I also felt sorry for them. no one loves them in real life

at other times traveling was difficult.

arriving in a town thinking we can get a bus to another town but the bus has left so we had to pay a crap load of money for a taxi and then get to the dock we needed and the boat that runs from that dock is done for the day.

(this picture) or being in an airport needing to fly back up to bangkok or we'll have to catch a 14 hour bus ride. but all the flights are booked and we had to be on standby. finally we get a flight and we sit outside the airport and drink beers in relaxation from a stressful evening in paradise.

at low tide the water is so shallow that you can theorically walk to other islands.

one day peter and I walked out very far and then just sat down in the water and laughed for a few hours.

with only..
shortly after this picture i was taken i lost:
2 books
the hotel key
both the shirt and the shorts i'm wearing in the picture.
