Downtown Daegu!


My Birthday Cake!
Okay, so I tried to get a short video of downtown just to show everyone how crowded it was! I don't know if you guys will be able to tell, it is a really bad quality video...sorry! My ipod touch is not quite the best video taker. Next time we will use Jenn's flip! Anyways, Jenn and I have really been enjoying Daegu. So far, we have been exploring the massive downtown. There are so many people, and so many places to eat at! Downtown you can go to Burger King, McDonalds, the Holy Grill (Great Mexican place), Travelers Bar (Supposedly really good burgers), and traditional Korean restaurants. We have tried the Holy Grill and loved it, but we have also been sticking to Korean food, because it is cheaper and just as good. Oh, and if you can see all the people in the video...this is during the afternoon. When it isn't busy!  This weekend was really fun. Jenn surprised me with a birthday dinner with some of our friends (and fellow teachers) and took me to see World Invasion. In IMAX. For 8 dollars! Cheap! I do need to mention one more thing about the theaters. Assigned seating is something that the US should adopt. I mean...it is so nice to be able to buy your ticket 2-3 hours before the movie, pick your seat, and then not have to show up early to get good seats. Oh and World Invasion was actually Battle Los Angeles, and it was in English with Korean subtitles. Very rarely do American movies get dubbed over with Korean actors, and it usually only happens with cartoons. But yes, it was nice to go to the theaters and get a little reminder of home. Well thats about it for now, just wanted to do a quick update. And so far, Jenn and I are fine. The earthquake has not affected Korea at all at the moment, and the winds are blowing toward the Pacific so we are safe for the moment. We are definitely keeping track of the situation though, and if anything dangerous were to develop, we would know very very soon.

  1. The Video quality is fine. And that downtown is really crowded. The birthday cake looks so good.

    I am very happy that your guys are safe for now. I know that the radical could head toward us. We don't have much choice but to do our best for each day.
    I pray for you,family,and friends every nights.
