Greetings from Korea. I've been M.I.A. for the past month since I left Kentucky, and the Peace Eddies at the UN. I've been trying to settle a little and acclimate yet again to new surroundings, a new country, and new language. Though I have no photos of my apartment or Daegu, I have pics from last weekend in Pusan. Pusan is the largest, cultural, seabaord city in the south of Korea. It's a rather large and beautiful city. We spent all day Saturday here going to an Indian restaurant, walking around the beach, and drinking a fair amount through the night. The techno club we went to cleared out at about 5 in the morning and then we returned to the beach to watch the sun rise. Mary (in the bluish fishnet shirt is a colleague who works with me in the University of Colorado program) was going down to visit some friends over the weekend, so I tagged along to journey away from Daegu. Although Daegu is a decent size city, and I'm beinning to settle in here, I needed to get away for a bit, and Pusan was good place to escape. Nita (in the teal shirt is and Indian chick--"with the dot, not the feather"--I met with the others). The 2 pictures of the mounds of dirt and heaps of construction materials show the state of our unfinished village. The word on the street is we'll be moving up there in November. Until then we're residing in new dormitories near the university. The last photo is a nice one of me roaming the beach in Pusan. I told Shreya it reminded me a bit of Manuel Antonio, I suppose only because it's a nice Pacific beach.
