Some Things

If you don't want to read my ramblings about drunken Koreans, don't read this just look at the pictures.

Recently I've been noticing the how much drinking is a part of Korean culture. I don't frequent bars or clubs so maybe this is why it has taken me so long to notice. I started to notice a a few weeks ago when I ended up walking home from an area close to my work. On my way home I noticed several people passed out on the street, and from what I could tell these weren't homeless people, they were dressed in business suits, and were sleeping on benches covered in newspapers or just off the side walk in front of a store on some news papers.

Today I was walking out of work and stumbling into my work building was a lady pulling a man both almost ran into me, and both smelled like alcohol. Then I was riding home on the bus I take home, the whole time wondering if I read the number wrong because the inside of the bus didn't look similar to the usual buses. Finally my bus turns down the street that lets me know this is defiantly my bus. The next stop two ladies probably in their late forties get on the bus, before they got on I figured they were drunk as one was stumbling and the other was pulling on the stumbler. The stumbler some how makes it pass The puller and stumbles right in to me.

Anyway enough rambling, here are some pictures I took a few weeks ago on a cable car that took me towards the old fort that I never got to see. I might post some up some more if I ever get to visit said fort.

  1. Interesting story - and beautiful shots. Love the one with cable car and rider. We had alot of fun at the reunion, it was a happening time. Great that your parents and Esther could be there with us, everyone was glad to see them. So now, more people in the family know what you're up to.
