Apple, Arizona, Aphrodisiac, Anchovy

We're still in Korea, but for good reason. We were supposed to fly out to Beijing this morning but Sarah and I put back our flight by a couple of days so that she could go on a TV gameshow tomorrow! The Contenders (it sounds like a Steven Seagal movie to me). Hopefully she can win some venetian blinds or a washing machine which will come in handy for the trip. She's in a team with Matt from her work and they get to pick a category, they were hoping to do Survivor but they're not allowed. Instead they're stuck with "A-words", so we've been quizzing em all weekend - Alabaster, Azerbijan, Androgynous...

The weekend was great, I went to a reconstructed Korean folk village on Saturday which was awesome, especially the tightrope guy who bounced from one end of the rope to the other on his balls while fluttering a paper fan! Climbed a cool-looking mountain yesterday, along with the entire population of South Korea to keep us company. Nothing like getting away from it all in the wilderness. Man these guys LOVE hiking and they have all the gear - full-on hiking boots, icepicks, walking sticks, fleece pants and puffy jackets. Total overkill for a little path, there's us in trakkies and sneakers. The biggest danger is being trampled by the other fifty thousand people on the path.

Dammit I'm trying to send photos but it's not working. Danged technology.
