Pic of the bunch

This is just a bunch of pics I’ve taken, meaning to share them but not quite getting around to it..

Firstly..proof that Sandy is at least half lop-ear. We love him anyway.

This one took a bit of posing..Unfortunately the boys aren’t usually the best of friends. Especially when dinner is served..

Just to give you an idea of the size of Okgwa. This is pretty much it. Interestingly we have the only university in Gokseong county as well as elementary, middle and high schools. The cluster of blue buildings on the right is a 5 day market (roughly every 5 days) and my school is on the other side of town (centre back).

This is the main street, looking towards the town centre. It gets a lot busier further down. On the left is the main gate to the university.

Nonghyup-Hanaro Mart. This is the biggest mart in town, it even has its own bakery!! Kinda reminds me of the Four Square out Mangere way..yeah, its small but its convenient. Field next door is barley(?)

Just for mum: this is what a rice field looks like just before the rice is harvested. This was taken pretty much across the road from school. Yeah, Okgwa is rural.

From the ‘so what else is new’ file..I got another toy. I caved and finally got an iPod touch. In my defence it is the cheapest model and I bought it mainly for notetaking in class and reading books on the bus (at least 30min to get anywhere from Okgwa). Funnily enough thats what I mainly use it for. I’m wanting to add an Korean-English Dictionary and something to allow me to edit word files but that is pretty much it..
Some time I might write down how I use it in class..but for now I can say it replaces a folder full of notes and lesson plans that I have been carrying from class to class. Its handy. (oh, its not replacing my Sony mp3 player…I know its an iPod but managing songs through iTunes sucks compared to Windows Media Player. The Sony gets better battery life too..
