Basketball Game and Bowling in Changwon!

This was the lady that interviewed me when Caroline and I were eating dinner! There were two ladies, one interviewed me and the other interviewed Caroline. Later, I found out they were to be my students in the Teacher's Seminar!

Here's all four of us at dinner. Caroline and I were just eating when they came over and asked if they could speak to us! Our new friends, lol!

Caroline and I at Hee Woon's going away party

There's Hee Woon!


This was at the basketball game! That's Paul from New Zealand!

There's Hee Woon, Vicky from South Africa, and Oliver from England


EVERYONE had those red plastic tubes! Instead of clapping or cheering, you beat the tubes together and they make a loud popping noise!


We went bowling for Hee Woon's 29th birthday. This is Chantelle from Canada

Vicky from South Africa and Jake from Georgia, USA

This was my team! Me, Chantelle from Canada, Hee Woon from Korea, Jake from Georgia USA, and Sky from Korea

New Years on Kho Phi Phi Island!












The little cove that we found!


The islands remind me so much of Hawaii...













Ocean kayaking!





Maya Beach on the smaller island

This is where "The Beach" was filmed

That's a long tailed boat



The rain was coming! We left just in time...

Taking the long tailed boat back to Long Beach from the other island



We were soaked from the waves on the long tailed boat! It wasn't even raining yet!

The view from Long Beach at sun set

Long tailed boats along the beach


Krista and I screaming on the way back from kayaking! I thought we were going to die; the seas were so rough!
