Fighting gravity

28, Jan 2008

Today was a kinda crummy day. Not anything bad, just one of those days where lots of little things added together and made me grouchy.

New Years Celebration in Seoul

3, Jan 2008

Here is a video Dad Rau shot during the festivities downtown at Jonggak. Note the countdown in Korean: Youk, Oh, Sa, Sam, Ee, Il, YAY!!!
It was a pretty spectacular way to ring in the new year. Mom and Dad kept marveling at the idea of allowing fireworks in the middle of the city. No security [...]
