some fun things to see....

while out and about in south korea.
here's some pictures luke and i took 2 weekends ago when we drove to the east coast to go surfing. they brought us some laughs, so i thought i'd share...


in case you were wondering... you can get electrocuted from this strange box on the picture. however, in reality there was no strange box on this fence. hmmmmm........


oh, and don't go holding any really creepy balloons with faces on them or super long fishing poles near these electrical wires......



this was a HUGE flower covered statue of a mermaid on top of a turtle. i immediately thought of violet and lady azuza. but i was a little creeped out by the size of her hands in proportion to the rest of her body. they are almost as big as her head!



and this is what we drive around trying to find a way to the water. it's just on the other side of the barbed wire, but its everywhere, and these military huts are everywhere and there's guys in most of them. we're not exactly sure where we can and can't go, so we wait until there's an opening. so even though the surf may be great (for korea), we can't always get to it.

we're taking a drive again early tomorrow morning, so i'll take some more pics. hope you enjoyed and got a little laugh out of it! :)

mondo magic and other funnies......

lately there has been this show on tv called "mondo magic" and i am IN LOVE with it. it's just a couple of guys who go around and do some crazy magic tricks, but they are seriously awesome! and it's not just the slight of hand crap that you always see, it is REAL magic. i keep telling luke that these guys must have gone to Hogwarts or something, but he just calls me a dork. :) if you get a chance to see it, you should definitely check it out. you'll be amazed!

so anyways, here i am, back from japan. i had a great time there. we were in meetings all day for our new technology training, and we are getting some REALLY cool stuff. i can't wait for it all to arrive so i can start doing the cool music writing and recording stuff they taught us. but, in the evenings we were able to go out and see some stuff.

here's a view of the tokyo harbor. you can't see it very well, but everything is just built on top of something else. it is SO crowded! but, as you can see, our weather was so nice and it only rained a little on our last day there.



and here i am at night in front of some big building that i thought was pretty! :) we took the subway around and went to a "pearl lady" who is very famous and sells to rich and famous people and i bought a really nice pearl and sapphire bracelet. and then we walked back to our hotel because it was such a beautiful evening.



and now, i'm back in crazy korea. luke and i went to a bar the other night to hang out with some friends, and this sign was in the bathroom..... i was dying laughing!!! only in korea.....
