Outdoor Activity Reflection
Every Friday afternoon in session 3 was a picnic time. We went to U.N cemetery, Monet to Warhol, igidae
and watched a movie: the Immortals with handsome and kind Jeff. He took pictures of us at the places for memory. We ate out for lunch near those destinations. Ice slush topped red bean tasted good. At igidae, Mr.Kang's story by the seaside was very fun. Young lost her mobile phone and found it again luckily. I hope we will have a good time in CSUS in USA, too.
We ate awesome Chinese Food

I really enjoyed the movie we saw. It was so lovely and non-violent. It was called The Immortals.
Last week, we went to a ssambap restaurant

Some of my favorite photos
This is my family celebrating Never's birthday. Never was our second dog and we all liked her quite a lot. I was home from university for the weekend and my older sister had driven up from Boston where she was working at the time. My family did silly things like this sometimes and I think that's why I think it's always important to include play time in our lives. .
This photo was taken last summer on a lovely August day. First, my wife and I went out to Vietnamese restaurant and ate some tasty soup. We then had some excellent Patbingsu (a shaved ice and red bean dessert). We then walked all the way home (about 3km) on the lovely coastal walkways of Igidae. It wasn't an amazing, exotic day of foreign travel, but when I think about what is a 'good day', I think about this day.
When I was 20 years old, I took a semester off from university and decided to drive cross-country. I didn't know where I'd wind up or what I would do when I got there. It wound up being a wonderful adventure and real learning experience. I feel very fortunate that my parents supported me in my adventure. My mother made the 'Somewhere or Bust' sign for me.
