WHAT HAVE WE BEEN UP IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS??????
We went for a day trip to Pusan ( a coastal city, Korea's 2nd largest city, see previous blog entries) on April 14th....
Our mission...
to travel to the downtown shopping district and find a pair of running shoes that will fit my feet, and look good on Alissa.... have fun.... then take the bullet train home before 10:00PM...
Could we do it?!?!?!!??!??!!
The importance of our mission...
After many, many intense shoe shop to shoe shop shopping in Daegu, I was still unable to find any shoes to fit my feet (ohh ... except one pair of Nike black basketball, can you picture me running a marathon wearing those mothers!!!).
Alissa and I do about 2 hours of walking everyday day + same shoes = shoes worn right out !!!
Almost all of the shoes I brought from Canada already need replacing!
As a matter of a fact and as a fact of a matter, I have worn right through the soles of 2 pairs of my shoes from all the ZERO GHG emitting walking I've been doing here!!! Case in point and point in case Alissa has worn through the soles of one pair already and she's only been here a few months!!!!

FYI and IYF -Uncomfortable shoes are some of the most useless things in Korea. Comfort always trumps style in walkity, walkity Chilgok.
What Happened???
We accidentally ran into some Korean folk dancers and performers, went up a big tower that overlooks the beautiful city, and ran into some weird ass Korean dude with Orange hair (see above photos) .....
ohh yeah... and we both found a comfy pair of runners.... Mission accomplished! YEsssssss!!!

South Korea looks like a lot of fun. It looks pretty bizarre too!
John, you haven't seen anything yet! Everyday, I ask myself .... why am I here? I think I've learnt more in Korea than I learnt in studying at the UofR for 5 years. I've learnt that onorder to truly discover ones self, one must venture out.... of Regina. Thanks for meeting with my sister, as she really enjoyed your visit. Good luck with spring classes.
chow!
