This is an awesome Japanese site that will antique your photos for you! Very cool effect. You can upload a file or give it a URL. All in Japanese, but straightforward enough.
We are back in Seoul, safe and sound. We may have a few stories to share soon, but for now, enjoy our photos from the trip!

We’re having a great time in Koh Chang, Thailand. We’re staying in a little Bungalow by the sea. The water is blue and warm, the air is clear, the food is delicious, the people are relaxed, and we’re happy as clams. On top of that, we’re celebrating Adam’s 29th birthday today!
Yesterday, we began a three day certification course to become Open Water Scuba Divers, and it has been amazing so far! The first day included an instructional video, a written test, and two hours learning skills below the the surface in their diving pool. Though we didn’t go deeper than ten feet on the first day, we were breathing underwater for two straight hours! Today we celebrated Adam’s 29th birthday with two guided dives! We took a boat out to two different coral reef sites off of Koh Chang, and at lunch on the boat, they even brought out a birthday cake for Adam.
We’ll be taking some photos on our dives tomorrow, but we’ll probably wait to upload everything until we return. Here is a photo of us in Bangkok, though!
Have a great day!
We’re now good friends with the workers at the Korean consulate in Bangkok. Today, after our third visit, we have our visa in order, and it’s off to the beach tomorrow! We’ve enjoyed our unexpected extension in Bangkok, and it has given us the chance to see a few things we hadn’t seen before. We’ve gotten to dig a little deeper than the backpacker haven of Khao San Road.
We also have a lot of thanks for our friends Tyler and Dasha for showing us around.
I’m keeping it brief because we’re using the free computer at the consulate, but we’re well and wanted to let you know. See you later!
