Some Pics from Korea

Here I'm dressed in traditional clothing for a student who has taken a national exam and received first place in the country.

This is a small piece of dried fish that you eat like jerky. It's a little bit bigger than the size of your thumb.

This is the Ginseng Man. He is in Geunsam where the 2006 World Ginseng Expo will be held this fall.

This is what one of our tables looked like after we had lunch. One main dish (beef in this case) and lots of side dishes. Delicious.

 

Congrats to Chris & Melissa!

Now that graduation is over, this coming weekend brings Chris & Melissa's wedding. They've waited 6+ years for this day to come and it's finally here.

Cross your fingers that everything will go well...the weather will be beautiful, the photographer gets to the church on time, the flowers aren't dead on delivery, the DJ has (or hasn't) remembered the "Chicken Dance," and anything else that could go wrong doesn't.

Here's hoping they have a wonderful and magical day they'll remember for the rest of their lives.

Congratulations!

Whelp, today was Graduation Day here in sunny Brookings, South Dakota. It'll be bittersweet, but I am most definetly ready for a permanent change. It's been fun, but I don't want to be here anymore. Get me out of here.

The first highlight of what lies ahead is South Korea. Yep, South Korea. I'll be there for ten days experiencing all that the Far East has to offer (in the southern half of the Korean peninsula).

After that, I'm leaving B-town for good and moving to Pine Island. A nicer place awaits me there. I'll be there for 15 months working at IBM in Rochester until I countinue my journey to graduate school in 2007.

It's kind of like "Bigger and Better", but for the real world. Go ahead world, bring it on.
