Well since I haven't been able to share any skiing stoke, I figured I'd post a TR about my recent travels to Korea :eek: - why Korea you ask? The short answer is I had the opportunity to do it on the cheap - Padded Room cause there's no skiing there this time of year.
We spent 2 days on the island Jeju - a big Korean honeymoon spot, complete with the massive language barrier you might expect on an island in south korea. We ran around and did everything touristy possible - a few shots:

The first picture is from in front of Seoul Tower - the highest spot in Seoul and features a revolving restaurant at the top where we ate one night. View from hotel to Seoul Tower (way on the hill in the right of the pic):

which is a great seaway to the best part of the trip - a professional Korean baseball game between Samsung and LG - the fans are crazy - you'd think it Sox/Yanks ALCS Game 7 - noise makers, sparklers, cheerleaders :eek:

6th Inning Stretch? They take it to heart - both teams went out for about 5 minutes to take a break from the game to run and stretch

Think we stick out in the crowd? Go Sox!

Overall an unreal trip - I'm glad I did it but probably will not make it back - If I do and it's winter, the first Korean skiing TR will follow shortly after.:biggrin:
