Even though Korea is doing great economically wise (Korea is steadily increasing the value of their Won from our Dollar), there are, I think, just as many homeless people and beggars on the street. Because of the (many) news stories I see on TV about 'fake' beggars, I rarely give them money. But after my talk with my padre, I finally gave money to this halmoni (elderly woman) who sits on the sidewalk everyday hitting people as they walk past her. no joke. I couldn't believe when I heard it. I even got hit too, lol. Even so, I figured I might as well share the wealth. ahhhhhhh.... it feels good to grow up.
Oh, and I forgot to say, I'm published!!!! I have three articles in the Rokon Magazine. nice huh? Feel free to check it out at Rokonmagazine.com.
Us chilling at the airport on our way to Osaka, Japan.
Our first temple visit. They say that in washing your hands before you go in, you will be blessed.
The largest wooden structure in the world. Pretty amazing considering a part of it was destroyed.
These girls helped me and Vianey (the girl beside me) find the two stones that you have to walk to with your eyes closed.
our first night out. I paid him 100 yen ($1.00) to sing a song.

Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now. Keep it up!
And according to this article, I tottaly agree with your opinion, but only this time! :)
You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable. But it is just form my point of view
This is my first visit here, but I will be back soon, because I really like the way you are writing, it is so simple and honest
