a few shots

just wanted to share a few images.  don't forget that you can click on them for larger viewing.

this first one is up on a big hill between my apartment and school.  you can only see it a little, because of my location, but a big chunk has been taken out of the middle of this hill.  where the hill once was, is now a gaping void going nearly to ground level.  it appears that some kind of large warehouse type building will probably be constructed in it's place.

when i was walking around in this area taking photos, the ajoshi that owns the house and cow farm down below, came out yelling at me.  i tried to tell him that i was an artist, but instead i told him i was a picture and he just walked away.  i think he thought i was spying on him or something.  it's too bad he came out when he did, as i had just spotted two dead cows that had been dumped on the backside of the hill.  i really wanted to try to get closer and takes some shots of them.

this next one here is just a big giant pit with a rice field in the bottom.

the next two are from jebu-do.  i took a trip there with hyunjoo and here family one sunday.  those rocks on the left are the same as in the photos here.

here's one last one from the neighborhood.

more shots on the way.

반지하 (ban-jee-ha): the half-basement

these two are located at the entrance to my village (i think it's small enough to be one).  they protect it.

as stated, here's my half-basement apartment.  it's a nice setup and i like it more than my previous place.  it's bigger, much quieter, much darker when i want it to be, a good size bed, a sofa that i have yet to sit on, a bigger refrigerator, more storage space.

i bought a bike.   since there's lots of safe space to ride through the rice fields out here, i figured it would be nice have and do.  i'm getting a little fat on my belly, maybe this will knock some of it off.

i've been busy and have other experiences and photos to share, but no long post today.  more to come soon.
