No time to spare

By the time I got my internet working, it was time to shower and get ready for bed. Then I spent the last half hour resizing photos and uploading them. My internet abhors uploading large file sizes - well actually my nighttime internet is slow and worse quality than it should be. Oh well.

I'd wanted to get the beach pictures up. I went to the beach 2 weekends in a row, first on the east coast and then on the west coast. Living on a peninsula has its perks!

Besides travelling on the weekends, I haven't been up to much else besides work. I'm at work over 40 hours a week. Three days a week I take the hour long ride to Chungdae for dance class. We've learned 3 songs now, and are starting number 4. Just finished Psy's Gentleman dance. It's fun, but it makes your thighs burn. ><'

Here's a picture of "non" (noh-n) - a rice paddy.

They're called "pat" when they're just dirt, and "non" when there's water in them and it's the same when the rice grass is planted. (and the rice grass is called non aegi (aegi is baby)). I think rice paddies are pretty. It also seems interesting to me how this country which is surrounded by water on 3 sides fills itself up with more water to grow rice. Sometimes I think of that story about the little dutch boy who stuck his finger in the dike. There's a lot of water here in Korea. You'll notice the hazy white sky.... Yeah that is stuff in the air... I assume most of it is moisture but I wouldn't doubt there's some pollution since this country manufactures SO much. Actually - the amount of things and variety of things made here is phenomenal. But yes - Korea - land of water every darn where.

But I must dry my hair and sleep.
