A Week of Healing



I wrote the Korean Test on Sunday morning. I was up at 6:30, left by 7:20 and got to Myeongdong around 7:45. It was strange seeing a place that is usually jammed with people almost empty, and ofcourse being that time in the morning I didn't expect to see many people except the early risers and a few staggerers from the night before. By the time I arrived near the University where I was writing the test, I saw a lot of Chinese and Japanese and other Asians that were going in the same direction. Out of about 300 people writing the test, there were about 4 or 5 of us that were Caucasians.
Anyways, I felt pretty confident about the test and I think I got at least 86% but I'm not exactly sure yet. I've already ordered the new textbook and will be taking the next test the end of January.

After the test, I headed back to Bundang and we had a soccer game at 3pm. Unfortunately it started to rain in the second half and we ended up losing 3-2. We didn't play as well as we did for the previous 4 games which we all won.
On Monday, I climbed up a mountain called Namhansanseoung and I realized the next day I never should have. My back has been killing me since and only now it's starting to feel a lot better. I went to the acupuncturist and then the sauna yesterday and going to the sauna again very soon. It does make you feel a lot better, amazing as it seems, hundreds of needles all over your body.
It's Halloween today and a friend of ours is having a combined Halloween, Birthday and going away party so I have to decide on something to wear now.
Here are a few pictures of the mountain from Monday.

David,

I finally ended up on your blog and I love the pictures... so beautiful it hurts.

The movies are good too... keep working on them. Did you get a better quality camera yet?

Anyways, hope the studying for the next test is going well!

Talk to you later!
