Winter is Ending

Winter is finally coming to an end.  Dangjin got snow what must have been 8 or 9 times this winter.  The last snow came a little over 10 days ago, during the month of March.  

Having grown up in a warmer part of the world, I am not used to winter hanging on as long as it has. March 20th is a long time to wait until Spring.

Special Note:

It's been a long time since my last post.  The culprit is my place of work had the blogger dashboard page blocked somehow.  Now I can once again irresponsibly blog from work.

Korea in Bloom

韩国现在鲜花盛开

一花独放不是春，百花齐放春满园。 多美的花！ 多漂亮的花儿！

For the past month the countryside has been covered with flowers, everywhere you look. The city and count planners have really gone the extra mile in planting flowering bushes and trees on many roadsides, on ramps, and building fronts.

This is just a sample of what was around to see.

Some of the People I Miss

Thought I would post some of the pictures of some people I miss. Are you missing? If you've ever seen my desk, you might understand how hard it is to find anything in my comptuter.

Tania, Tian Yun where are you pics? I don't have one???

Xiao Guo and Liu Yaning. Two real ladies with a lot of class and a lot of beauty.

Da Mao! What else needs to be said.


Xiao Guo probably does not know how beautiful she it.
Bright Shining Star. She is a real free spirit.
Mr Gao and Allen...sounds like a Chinese mafia movie.


Thomas and Monica.
