More Fun in Seoul

As I mentioned before I have some more pictures to share of Seoul.

Mackin and I stopped at a medium sized shopping area and this was a hallway leading to one of the floors. I thought it was a cool way to lead up to the stores.

 

 

 

 

Bet no one thought they would see this in Korea. I know I sure didn't expect it.

 

 

 

The Hard Rock Cafe of Seoul.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brick Tamland: I love...carpet. I love...desk.   

Ron Burgandy: Brick, are you just looking at things in the office and saying that you love them?  

For those of you that don't understand this it is from the movie Anchorman.

Korean Mannequin. I think it was involved in some sot of freak nuclear accident that disfigured it's face. Terrible tragedy.

A Seoul Filled Weekend

I hope everyone all had a great weekend. I know I did. Mackin, my roommate, and I traveled to Seoul over the weekend to do some shopping and have some fun. So here are some of those pictures.

A normal day of traffic.

 

 

 

 

One of the stadiums where '88 Olympic games where held. You can see the Olympic rings on the front of the stadium in the picture on the right.

 

This is the Olympic bridge that spans the Han river in Seoul. In 2001 a ROK Army CH-47 Chinook helicopter crashed while attempting to place the flame sculpture on top of it.

This was one of those pictures painted on a wall. We thought it was cool though. I think I will end here today so that I will have some more pictures to post tomorrow. Happy Monday!

Happy New Year!!!!

It is officially 2009 for me so I am going to wish you all a happy new year. It's another four day weekend for me so we are going to head out into Korea and see what fun things we can find to do. Hopefully on Monday I will have some pictures or some sort of good story to tell because lately there has been nothing exciting happening. Have a great year!

Christmas

I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Mine wasn't too bad although it just didn't feel like it for me. On Christmas eve everybody was ordered to put a boot outside their door so that they could be stuffed with presents from the command team.

If you look close you can see all the boots outside the doors.

 

 

 

 

 

 
The boots got stuffed with some candy, a calling card, a cd and a battalion coin/bottle opener.

On Christmas day I was able to hook up my webcam and see my family. That was probably the best part of the week. The rest of the weekend went by pretty fast. We went out and wondered but didn't really see or do anything worth posting about. I have another three days of work coming up and then it is another 4 day weekend to celebrate new years. I can't believe it's already 2009. What happened to 2008?

What a Man

I saw this on another blog this morning and thought it was so cool. I am very sad to see President Bush leaving office because I know the new president won't give the time of day for this type of thing.

President Bush and Vice President Cheney privately comfort troops.

I also saw this a few months ago and was planning on posting in but forgot about it. I think now is the perfect time. Go Here and then scroll up to the top to the article titled The Value of Service.

All I can say is Obama has a lot of work to do if he ever wants any of the respect I have for President Bush.
