Well well well, only one week to go and our Korean adventure will be coming to an end. This morning we went out to Songnisan National Park and saw the marvelous buddhist temple there, complete with a breathtaking, giant bronze statue of Bhudda. Last week we had a visit from my sister, Naomi and her friend Fiona. On their weekend in Korea we went with them to Seoul on the Saturday and, on Sunday, to celebrate our American friend Mike's 40th Birthday, we all went to the baseball to see Daejeon's Hanwha Eagles beat Busan's Lotte Giants. It was our first baseball game - the weather was warm and the beer was cold (and cheap), we had fun. We also learned from the experience, heres one for all the Aussies reading, A Mexican Wave is known only as "a wave" in North America. This made me wonder where the hell we got the term "Mexican wave" from. According to Wikipedia:

The wave was launched into the soccer community and to the world at the World Cup in Mexico in 1986, from which the name "Mexican wave" derives."

So there you go you learn something new everyday. Another Mexican wave fact is:

The largest recorded wave was at the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000 where 110,000 people made an inverse Mexican wave and two simultaneous opposite direction waves.

Naomi and Fiona departed Korea for Jolly Olde London on Tuesday - with this being our last weekend here we'll soon be doing the same. We shall be having a bit of a get together tonight, a farewell so to speak. Should be fun.

Below are some photos from the past couple of weeks, enjoy

Take care ,
