Overlooking Dejeun
-----

Dejeun zoo... Just some animals... It was really cool. You get to get reallllyy close to the animals because of the wall in between... and the animals like getting close to the glass because I guess they are used to people feeding them if they get close... very cool, eh?

THEY MOVE!!!

So manyyy!!

They were huge...

So close...
The safari bus we took to see the other animals...Bears... waiting for food... They just all came up... It was cool...

TIGERS!!!

So many lions... I have never seen so many lions at once before...!! There were a lot more too... Just walking around/resting around the safari bus.

Antelope!!! Walking past us!!

Mmm... Eggs and bacon... It's made a bit different... I miss this though... It was almost American.

The doggie is just too cute... so pudgy... It's just a year old...

hahah.. doggie so cute... Nate's cousin's and the wife's doggie...

Outback Steakhouse has seafood quesadillas... Which was absolutely de-leesh.
October 2: Around Campus... and Ala visits!
I never realized how beautiful my campus is... It's so green right now, but autumn is coming and I can already see the leaves start to turn vibrant red, orange, and yellow. I've never experienced foliage before... It's going to be beautiful!
The cafeteria food looks gourmet... I'll have more pics of food and other cafeterias around campus when I remember to take pics.
Ala visited from Taiwan to get her visa fixed... in Korea... haha... So we had a pretty awesome time... I showed her the nightlife... drinking and noraebang!
Yay! Trees.. and buildings.. I see a few red leaves... I'll upload more pics later... There are a lot more foliage now.. though not completely.
Looking out to the city... Just a bunch of restaurants and shopping places right outside my campus...
Above the ECC... see the cool stairs leading down? My campus has a lot of trees everywhere. Great place for bugs.

One of the newer student cafeterias at my school...

Yummy cafeteria food... for less than $4.80. It's a rice omlette... with corn and creamy white sauce that needed a little more salt... There's crab on top of the rice omlette... It was delicious.

Random gardens at my campus.... free food?

Out to show Ala the nightlife in S. Korea... At the Blue Monkey bar... taking the Blue Monkey shot. It makes your throat and ears burn...

October 3: Korean Folk Village in Yongin, GyeongGi-Do
Approximate 50 international students and 20 something PEACE buddies made a trip the the Folk Village!!! We spent a night at the hostel nearby. The village just replicated how the Korean towns looked in the ancient days... There were shows like horseback riding and archery, seesaw performance, tight rope performance, and a traditional wedding ceremony. At night, we played a lot of fun kiddish Korean games/ drinking games without the drinks... like "Do you love my neighbor," "Bang Bang Bong," "3, 6, 9," "Mafia," and this murder winking game. The punishment if you lose is that you have to sing or dance in front of the crowd. Haha...
The room... The floors were heated, which was incredibly uncomfortable . I was burning... What kind of hostel has enough money to make heated floors >__<Yep. Kids climbing on the basketball arcade.

Within the Folk Village

Semi-gross cold buckwheat noodles.

Korean policeman...

Felix, me, Nate, Armstrong, and Peace Buddy Jihyun and Da Sol

Beautiful scenery

Yay swing!

Nathan and me~~

October 4thWatched fireworks for an hour near the Han River... for the Fireworks Festival...

Ala drinking "ko-jeem-kang-leh" No pain, no gain. Two shot classes placed inside the one cup... A shot of coke at the bottom, a shot of soju at the top, and beer filling in the rest of the glass.

Having some Korean BBQ!

That's right. Hong's Bar!

Yummy jeem-dak

Yummy ice cream that you squeeze out... It took us a long time to find coffee & cookies n creme flavors

So many toys and dangling things!!!

Beware of perverts.

Ala and me... before she had to go... and take a plane back to Taiwan the next day. :(

Generators that would randomly make sounds like a car starting. I can't get over it. It makes me laugh wayyy tooo much.
