Only in Korea could a boy get away with dressing up in pastel pink.

The kids dressed up in hamburger and cola costumes for proud mama's and papa's.

Thomas "Robinhood Godfather" ..you talkin to me?

Pigs, mice and princesses!

A beautiful sunset falls lazily in the horizon.

Oryuk-do or "5 or 6 sister islands", the number of which is visible depending on the tide.

Some local fisher people haulin in today's catch.

Chilly spring day as we boat out to the islands...Gwangan bridge is backset.

We leave Mipo pier being chased by ravaging gulls...Korean flag masted proudly.

Even though its early spring...people are starting to flock to Busan's most popular summer locale, Haeundae beach where literally a MILLION people congregate on weekends.

Backlit view from the sand.

We are in beautiful spring here in Busan. Cherry Blossom trees are in full bloom and weather is just starting to feel like summer is inevitably around the corner.

This last post saw some pics of the Kindergarten graduation ceremonial stage show and a quick shot around some of the surrounding islets just off the coast. People are starting to come out more in abundance, quietly anticipating the summer atmosphere to come.

We have a new teacher from the US who has recently joined us for April and with her arrival I was able to give up ONE class...Oh well...no biggie as the days are marked on the calendar for my departure.

What the next few months and year will bring is still up in the air..(sound familiar?) but will be sure to enjoy the last few months I have available here in Korea....taking in some festivals and enjoying what life has to offer. Been checking some accommodations for July in Phuket, Thailand for July to ring in the big 32 on the beach in style. Any takers are more than free to join!! Now THAT should make for an interesting blog...wonder what B-day gift I will receive there?!

Was glad to hear my sis and her troop got back from the sunny south after an extended itinerary and congrats again on the recent birthday...still lookin pretty good from the pics despite your advancing tenure in life !! haha
