Walk for Peace 10k

On this past Sunday, I woke up at 4:15 am and met a local cultural group for a 5 am bus ride to Seoul for a 10 k peace walk.... I was given the smallest seat on the bus, for some reason..... Assigned seats were not a good idea. We did get to Seoul Grand Park with enough time to enjoy the scenery and the massive Seoul Grand Park Zoo, which even has some bison.  I spent a little time with a few of the organizers and then we all had a little lunch in a nice grassy area near th starting area for the big event. As we were walking toward the event area, I started talking to a younger guy who is from Southern GA, via New York. He mentioned that he really wanted to just go back to the zoo, instead of partake in the walk.   The pre-event program was dragging on and on, so we looked at the programs for the zoo, and noticed the lion feeding was at 3. So as the walk got started we headed toward the zoo, to be kids for the next 90 minutes of our lives.

I did manage to meet some wonderful guys from Uzbekistan, who have invited me to have dinner sometime soon with them. Two of them speak really impressive korean, though they do study at school four hours a day as well.

From my Facebook status

Interesting event occurred today..... Usually during light rains here I just tend to keep my head covered up... As I was at the bus stop waiting in a light rain, an older lady came up to me saying that I was going to catch a cold, without an umbrella. I tried to tell her I couldn't pick up a virus in the rain. She must have ignored that comment, because she stood with her umbrella over me for about the next fifteen minutes. It was a good stretching exercise for her... Blessings to her for her kindness.

Testing

coming to an end. . . . . . 40 work days away!!!

So I'm hoping to be able to post every day here for the next 40 days (work days at least). . . That means there should be five posts each weeks for the next eight weeks. I'll be finished working here June 14th, and after some traveling, I'll be back in the states around the 4th of July. Soon after that, I'll be embarking on a new adventure in life. . . Eastern Europe. . . . check back tomorrow for more, or hopefully some pictures from recent adventures.

Have a good Monday wherever you may be in this wonderful world,
John
