Friends in Korea

Here's some shots of the gang and some fun times - some great folks mostly from Canada and the U.S. I'm blessed with an amazing crew of teachers and have made some great pals.

Hwaseong Fortress Eh

Heya, a while back I hiked around Hwaseong Fortress. The same year as the French Revolution (1789), the King moved his father's tomb to the area called Suwon where I live. He soon began the two year construction of Hwaseong Fortress which is composed of stone and brick and was designed to defend the town which it encompasses. The wall which loops around the town has many posts where soldiers could fire arrows, guns, and cannons at the Americans, er I mean whomever was on the outside that they didn't want in. Pretty sweet place and you can walk around the whole top - about a two hour jaunt. It's kind of like Citadel Hill in Halifax on steroids, but in Asia and you can't buy cheezy t-shirts of the place.
