39) Beautiful Nights

Fall is certainly in the air. The hot and humid days have given way to weather that seems like it was made for jeans and a T-shirt and a nap in the park. The nights and mornings have been absolutely perfect. Walking through the parks I have caught whiffs of the sweetness of decaying leaves- a smell that learned to treasure long ago while hiking with my parents in Wisconsin. I love the Fall weather and especially love the colors (which have not really started to take affect yet). But Fall is also a reminder that Winter is just around the corner, and will bring with it cold weather, and shorter days. So I guess the only thing to do is enjoy it while I have it.

Last night I took some city shots of Bundang, and the shots of the children are from the last two days.



Playing some late night basketball in the park



Ruby and Daniel

Kiana and Rejina

Christine- in the middle of a fierce r/p/s battle

Jay showing me the revered "Take 2" card

Ben- he fell to the ground when I turned my camera towards him

Zack- I don't really know why he was doing that...


Just a picture I thought was funny- and hope his mother did not see me taking from the web came. These kids know that the finger is not a good thing- but don't really know how it plays into US culture- so it isn't really taken too seriously.

Wow, amazing shots KG... very fitting for Eric to be flipping off the camrea, I used to hate that kid so much, must have broke him down a half dozen times before I left the school, nothing I'm proud of either, it was my only option on most days... classic shot though, with the other kid being wide-eyed and shocked... and those night shots... you should put a patent on those things, you own them like no other... love that blue hallway one too, where is that? b.

Ben reminds me alot of Jon Plotz ~ do you remember what he looked like when he was little? I believe he is teaching now somewhere in MN ~ kind of ironic, Korean kid teaching here ~ US kid teaching there ... I should send that picture to Mary as well as the link to your blog, she would undoubtedly enjoy it!
Great pictures!!

Hey, these pictures are great! I lived w/my wife in Bundang for one year, teaching Kindy, and we're heading back again, but can't find a school at the moment. Where do you live and teach?
