What is the word for out of shape in Korean?!


The tunnel I went through to get to the trail.

Random composte pile I passed while walking up to the trail. I felt like I was walking in someone's backyard the whole time. Another side note, I remember now that everything is a mad dash in the Asian world. And standing to the side to let people like the elderly to walk by is like blinking, no one cares.


So last night, we went out to a bar around the corner and met up with Ryan and Jillian. The bar was alright, a little different I guess, the bartender sat down with us at first which was a little weird. We each had a beer, I listened to "war" stories about the daily ins and outs of classroom and kids. Reminds me of the stories I have of being a camp counselor. After drinks, we got something, and I dont know the spelling, but it's called "cheesy dongas" and kimbop, and some soup. It was pretty good, I ate mostly the cheesy stuff which was cheese fried pork. I fell asleep to Simpsons again.

This morning, I got outside and I went hiking on a nearby trail about 10 minutes away. I am SOOOOOOOOOOO terribly out of shape. I should weight about a million pounds, its disgusting. I had old ladies passing me up, dressed in more clothes, NOT breaking a sweat. I think I managed to get pretty far up but after not really eating breakfast, and only having a mini-sized bottle of water, I gave in to my belly that was growling at me.
I got the best stuffed waffle ever. I walked by the stand yesterday and told myself tomorrow I'll try it. Oh gees, I can't believe I didnt get one yesterday. I might go back later and see if they're still there to get another. It had this really good strawberry filling. Yum! This temple looking thing, is a monuement I found in one the parks near Chris' apt. It's dedicated to a girl who's husband died when she was 22, left her home town and then went to live with her in-law's. She became known as one of the best scholars Korea has seen and has this temple house dedicated to her. Pretty cool. I missed the tour opportunity. I'm gonna try to do that tomorrow. I still need to figure out how to ask for the train station, and if there's a specific one that I should ask for? We shall see. I walked around some more after inhaling said waffle goodness and found a few churchs, mostly baptist. I found more parks, I also found a convienence store got some chips, powerade in a can, and a protien bar (which was disgusting!). I walked around even more and now I'm back. I think I'm going to have to find something else to do for the rest of the afternoon, I dont know if I'm actually up for a nap this afternoon like I have been the last few days.
I know I do need to shower because I smell something ripe, haha, until next time, PEACE!
