Anyways, point one - I was looking at the molding by my bathroom yesterday and spotted a tiny little ant climbing the wall. As I walked by from time to time, I would see more and more. I can't figure out for the life of me where they're going and where they came from - I tried to covertly observe them, but they just move too damn slow. I was watching and then suddenly I was on my computer and I don't know what happened in between ;) I checked the garbages and any food sources, and they're not there, so I can only hope they're just passing through on their way to something better. At least that's what I'm telling myself. I can handle being a thouroughfare...
Two - picture of the free hugs I talked about in a previous post - so far, Koreans are awesome!
Three: During the week, I started to crave some food that I could recognize. So I went on a big mission to make flour tortillas. I bought flour and salt from the grocery store and kneaded the dough etc. They were actually quite good! Although not real tortillas - not like I have any sort of implement to roll them out... wish I had a camera to document that!!
Four: Another picture...
Marie-Eve, Harriet and I visited one of the big palaces in town. They had a little circle with all the signs of zodiac, this is me with mine - pig. It looks like something out of Planet of the Apes.. actually you should have seen the monkey statue!! Creepay!
Fifth: Okay so this post has turned into one of pictures... look on...
We found this little park with three booths and three phones - this one was a direct line to the mayor's office, I believe. One was for Koreans, and one was for foreigners to phone in and make suggestions about tourism in the city. We wanted to phone but had no real good ideas except having washrooms with toilet paper. Is that appropriate?? I dunno - so we didn't phone. Anyways, later in the day, we got snagged by some tourism students doing a survey, so if some changes get made - you can thank us!
And last: 
This is at the palace as well - in the middle of the city. As Marie-Eve said in her blog (look I referenced!.. you can take the girl out of the university but you can't take the university out of the girl ;) Very Zen! too bad it costs to enter, otherwise I can see myself going and sitting by this pond and "meditating." Well, no.. not true, but I thought it made me sound good.
