Discovery

Well, this weekend i found out a couple new things, mostly about Ulsan:

Ulsan has a beach, Ilsan Beach and its actually really nice
There's also a cool forest to trek through with fun rock "sculptures"
And i can get there by about 1 hour bus ride
Thers also a small gallery around here that had a fun "Kinetic art!"

And i also saw the last Harry Potter movie.  I learned that Harry Potter is kinda like Jesus Christ (Note: i did NOT say he is.  He merely has similar attributes).  There were so many Biblical references in the movie it was almost mind boggling.  A very good flick too.  I was impressed, i never read the books and i had a friend fill me in because i only got up to the fourth movie.

So heres some pics of a fun weekend:


We are now if the forest, and I dont remember its name.  


Ilsan Beach in the background


Typical.  just standing on another rock high is the sky.


"A gee ma"  old ladies. you can call them that too.  They set up umbrellas and have a "restaurant" and you can cook it right there.
(another post to come about about a-gee-mas)



lonely little rock

Kinetic art!
The column spun slowly around.  If you look at the negative shape in between you will notice a very very famous statue.  It was as if the "statue" was spinning.

this hand was huge! it came from the ceiling and you could control its movements.  The fingers would move up and down.

Im a puppet master, muahahaha.

This one had a sensor.  You put your hand in front of it and it would move, kinda like it was trying to reach your hand.

Typical of Korea.  Robots, guns (even though they are illegal there is a weird obsession) and pots 
(tee hee, the robots are pot heads, also illegal here ;).  


It was a fun refreshing weekend i also had duck san gibsol.  Which is like Korean barbecue and you cook duck.  It was tasty and filling, but i rather just have some beef.  It kinda tasted reminiscent of a mediocre sausage.  I doubt anyone would agree with me.  

This Sun i am off to China! Wow! time is flying!  I get my one week of summer vacation and then its straight back to work.  Thankfully the following weekend we have a three day weekend.  So we can recoup from China.  Im looking forward to seeing at least one of the "great" wonders of the world.
