A Series of Amazing Events

I last left you with my amazing trip to Suwon and a rant about my Korean co-workers and poor little Nick. Well, since them much has happened, being that I have taken over a month to update my blog that I promised to update once a week...my apologies.

I have been fortunate enough to enjoy the delights of places like Osan, Pyeongtaek and Daegu lately, as well as exploring Busan more and more. My friend Linda and I have been training for ultimate goal of running the Gwangali Half Marathon in October.
This past 10 days we have been doing the Master Cleanse Diet which totally BLOWS. It's 10 days of nothing but lemon juice, maple syrup, water, and cayenne pepper. Today is the last day and I am so beat, but 12 pounds lighter.
Last weekend we went rafting up in Inje (cross it off the list) and bungee jumping. Rafting is such a joke in Korea...so silly. Of course life jackets and helmets are required when slowly and carefully drifting down the peaceful shit smelling river at a glacial pace, hitting only a pebble or two along the way. White water rafting, Korean style! Pictures to come! We then got to bungee jump off a 52m tall bridge for a mere 35,000 won (30 dollars). The feeling was amazing! I recommend it to anyone and EVERYONE.

Will update with pictures soon!
