seoul, south korea

on a rainy day

made a visit to temple

and bath house after

jeju do, south korea

jeju island is quite exquisite,
a common place for honeymooners to visit.
we spent much time outside,
as there are many natural beauties you cannot hide.
a volcanic crater, waterfalls, and mountain hike,
made this a trip we surely did like.

suwon meant to be

a capital city

nanta and seoul tower, seoul, south korea

nanta is a popular, interactive drumming show.

you better watch out because objects into the audience they do throw!

matt was selected for the dumpling making contest,

not only was he the tallest, but his dumplings turned out the best.

after the show to seoul tower we did go,

to see nighttime views of the city below.
