western/korean breakfast of bread, sausage, rice, kimchi, potatoes, kiwi, tangarine juice, yum!

took our time going to the botanical garden!!! we were exhausted from a looong week of work, so we wanted to enjoy the garden. fantastic idea in exploring the world by plants!

then waterfall, very pretty, the blue blue water was sooo clear. and the 3rd only place that hexagonal pillars grow. (giants calsway ireland, devil's tower usa, jeju korea) sweet.

took all the day, went walking, ate some fish, ate dinner and watched Alvin and the chickmunks! haha, fun.

bought lots of great things! enjoying honey and crackers as we speak!!!

lots done and now i need to focus on this week! we have testing, semester ends, presentations, and preparing for next, and then christmas party, vacation, ahhh, just glad i have internet to actually function on gettin a start on some things!

be good, hopefully i'll take a breather after this week...
