After another extended hiatus....I'm back!

Spent an amazing month in Phuket getting to know the locals and having some traditional Thai massages...all above board mind you.

I have recently signed on for one more year teaching English here in Korea...and after having taught for a month at the new school...already feel like its a closer fit for me.

Let me show you some of the pictures I snapped in Thailand....unfortunately I left my charger in Korea so I wasnt able to take as many pictures as I would have liked.

Nonetheless, I am all ramped up again and ready to do another year here... accomodations being much superior to what was offered last year. I might like to finish out the year with taking in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. I want to wish my sister and her husband of 11 years, Ken, a belated anniversary congratulatory offering. After recently viewing my sister's most recent blog...I still maintain that she was one of the most beautiful brides I'd have ever seen.

Still lookin good sis....

So now that I'm back online...I am excited to show you some of the future exploits that will be occurring in the next calendar year...it sould make for a very interesting year....

Sorry for the delay and please keep tuned....as year number 2 unfolds itself her in the land of the morning calm....

Below, you will see some of the shots I was able to take in Southern Thailand...I feel everyone should visit there once if possible...stunning landscapes and hospitable locals...if you dont mind the occassional offer for a massage, a suit, or a taxi...

Enjoy!!
