so most of you know that rebs and i like to do things in the outdoors. and just like in the states, korea's springtime weather is excellent for just about any outdoor activity. so for the past month and then some, we've been going climbing almost every weekend. here are some pics and updates.
the top picture is us standing in front of our favorite crag so far, called ganhyun (like canyon with a g). next is a photo of rebs climbing her first ever finished multi-pitch route. i was really proud of her and i'm sure she's glad to be finished with it because i know it was a bit scary for her... and she knew that i really wanted for her to be able to do it. but i have bad news. these will be some of the last pictures you will see of us in korea for a while because i mindlessly left our digital camera on the train on our way back. i've been kicking myself many times since then.
i've been reading the paper a lot since we stopped getting the bbc world chanel on our tv. i've been amazed at all the stories i'm reading about the u.s. economy. gas at $4 a gallon seems very unfathomable, but is become very much a reality. the way my mind works usually is i see a problem and try to fix. so even though rising gas prices doesn't affect us while we're here because we always take the public transportation, it will when we come home. and then what? i know fayetteville is building a paved pathway for runners and bikers throughout the city. so maybe i'll just be riding my bike everywhere. i also looked up running your car on water, basically using a converter to extract the hydrogen from water. according to internet sources, this is one form of a hybrid these days. and there's also talk of a guy who can run his car entirely on water, and he's supposedly in communication with a major american car company. http://kr.youtube.com/watch?v=6Rb_rDkwGnU check it out for yourself. but it is fox news, so i'm not so sure. :) hopefully by the time we come back there will be something figured out. i'm curious to hear your stories about how oil prices are affecting you.
i'mgoing to have to be done for now because rebs is starting to study for her n.c.e. exam to become a counselor when we return to the states, and she needs the computer for that. so i'll say goodbye, though i have much more to talk about.
