Pictures, finally

Hey everyone! I have finally gotten the photos from Jessie's camera, and I picked a few of the best ones for the ole blog.

Here they are!

This is some of our little town, with Mount Wolchu (Wolchusan) in the background. This is our view every morning, when it isn't foggy. Pretty nice over a cup of coffee.
This is from our fourth floor balcony. Our apartment building is on the fourth floor of the highest point of land in the city, and it offers some great views.




This is an alley near our first apartment. It's an old road that isn't really accessible to cars. This is where we met the old woman who brought us in to her house and gave us water.


It was really beautiful, and just as secluded and overgrown as it looks.


These mascots were painted outside the police station. It is so goofy.
There were similar mascots near a construction site, with a cute little construction worker bowing as though to say "So sorry for the detour!"



This is a pretty typical scene. Last month it was red peppers, this month it is rice. It's all just spread on tarps to dry and then bagged off and carried to market. Our bank is a farmer's cooperative bank, and they sell this stuff!





This is Jessie with a few students from her school. Note the peace signs. Apparently, it is an inborne Korean reaction to cameras, an irresistable impulse that all Koreans feel.








Okay... more to come shortly!
