A Crony? ahhh ok ummm No thankyou; Or, How Pooh was Frightened

Pooh was waiting for a bus. Pooh likes buses because he can sleep and eat on them. But Pooh became frightened when he saw a strange thing. It was some sort of ahhhh bar errr something the name was just too sad. Ummm well ahh some argue McDonald's workers are all Cronies too so umm maybe it is a sign of the modern wasteland...? Mmm the wasteland comes to Jeju? Anyhow at least there are no depressing blocky boring and pathetic strip malls here like in America.

Perhaps one day he will peek in- but only if he has Christopher Robin and Piglet with him, as well as Owl to lecture on the underlying roots of this place. Errr ahh maybe it is just a nice bar- I have no real definitive proff ether way... In fact the building looks deserted. Maybe it is closed down.

A fancy New Movie Restroom To Beat You In thee Ass If You Are Pissing Off; Or, How Pooh Marvels at the Korean Civil Engineering

Pooh likes Movies But he drinks to much Milk and Chocolate Coffee Drinks. So Pooh Must seek out the finely crafted and newly built Cinema Lavatory. But he encounters a strange thing that could of beat his poor yellow backside had he accidentally been pummeled by an egressing stall exiter. Happily he was able to use his small brain and avoid any smashing Hefalumps who might be hiding in the stall. So he was safe. Let us observe this terrible but very silly work of Restroom Civil Engineering Design:

Looks safe I might just walk over. I have space for my great belly:

Opppps the door might open all of a sudden but surely it would not ahhhhh:

Well Mmm I guess it is just one of those things. Who needs civil engineering anyhow and for that matter what good are handrails in stairways ether?

The Beach Boy Huggy Bear Pooh Goes On the Assault; Or, How many Koreans can you hug in One Day?

The rule of Terror errr I mean Terrible Fat Guy Hugs fun continues. The Huggy Campaign a crusade I started as Ruler of Jeju- Yes I r00lz Jeju. Sooo ahhh yeah I was like at the Jungmun Beach and therein I swam axiomatic of course, as I am a Marine Hero of Yore. But, as per the requirements I thought to spread the Great Fat Pooh Belly about and smosh Koreans with my great matchless gut. I traveled with some other kindly fellows who unlike me refrained from hugging Koreans indiscriminately. Ok so let us get on with the list-

This is on the way to Jungmun beach in ahhh Jungmun I hypothesize being the Great Brain I am. The Palm trees give a dreamy Palm Beach Florida sublimity.

Here are some happy ESL masters at the beach. Please note they are NOT hug monsters like me… I AM POOH!!! There is only one Pooh I sing alittle hum about myself Poohh hmmmm... ahh hmmmm hummmm...

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Ok but enough of the prequel ahh lets strike a pose Hip Hop style yo and begin with the Hip Hop Boy chummy hug:

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Right ok lets continue with some happy- and perhaps one seems bored- twenty-one year old University lasses. So Modest bathing with their clothes on aren’t Jeju girls just sweet?

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

What a nice lass she is- still her shirt is something to muse on. A balloon that lies ahhh a false balloon- ahhh not sure. Anyhow, she was a sweet university girl.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Ok now I have in mine arm not a sword or shield but dare I say a maid so a fitted for the balmy weather with her bonny self in my great fat arms:

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Now then we have here and example of a well tanned and supple Seoul girl; what cute braids she has:

Another Beach lass:

I was going to hug this guy but he would not hug – I thought it would of bee a great picture- still it is a nice contrast well tanned brown flat belly and huge fat white but who is the stronger in the water and on the field – Yes that would be me Lord of Jeju.

It is even more funny because I have on my dry shorts over my wet spedo so it looks like I peed in my pants – hmmm that is quite silly. Maybe he thought I pissed my pants… too ridiculous to ponder. It looks even more inane as I am doing the Yo Wut Up Vanilla Ice Hand.

Holy Cow Batman Can You Surf in Jeju? Hmmm they need longboards I think…

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Then herein we find some modest mainland vacation ladies. But do tell this foreign power; if you did want to conceal yourself why then art thou so bereft in the bikini thusly?

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Then we must embrace the cute fellows who in their innocence do not realize how silly they appear as a child with a floaty on land. But, that is part the essence of cute children.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Right- some more Jeju girls suitably dressed for beach conservation:

Many Many Many a lady and gentlemen has asked me why I rarely attempt the picture with the adult male. Truth is I had more than one fellow take a picture just so- and in that posture I am discouraged and NOT at ALL interested:

This is a Waterfall it is like having water that falls down err something:

This is like a bridge thing or something people like to look at or something.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Ahhh yeah so we went to the Den of Evil yes Hooters. Ok Ok let me be clear I DO NOT go to Hooters in the USA. My cohorts were wanting to go though. However, I was intrigued from an anthropomorphic curiosity on just what Koreans would make a Hooters into.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Umm I can’t comment on this ahhh maybe Vanilla Ice was in da house yo.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

However, it is not yet open so I still stand unenlightened on just what these Koreans will make of this Redneck Restaurant.

Then there was a café outside Hooters and being there I thought I might as well try some pastry. And what do you know, I found a lady or two there who insisted on hugging me.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

And look her fine first world friend gave Adventureman a hug too.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Outside some more University girls succumbed to my great Pooh like belly look at this second fine lady it is like she never seen Winnie the Pooh in the flesh and wanted to be sure she was smooshed by his chubby ole belly. Ahh well she was a nice kid I think.

Later I found some more kids on the streets of Jungmun wherein I gave them a friendly huggy too. Pooh shall hug all cute kids- err well at least in Korea where they seem to think I am a rock star or a Prince. Well no- the little boy was shy.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

These guys will save me when I crash my bike.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Oh and while waiting for the bus I did of course get a picture with two friendly 30 somethings.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Hey and lets end this with a blue eyed Korean lady- a friendly face and true blue eyes- how could one go wrong in this humble country of Confucianism? Is life a Beach?

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Maybe, but not a white sand beach in Junmung.

How Pooh went MTB riding; Or, If I was a bear with little brain I need not Cart it Up the Hill Climb

I went mountain biking with some Koreans from http://hallacycle.com/ who enjoyed the extremely rough fire road ride... However, I am previously spoiled on the mostly hard packed dirt of American singletrack. Still I had a fine time smoking them up the climbs, it is natural that the Lord of this isle should lead from the front- and due to my great fatness endowed by my ever devouring jaws I am beyond them when it comes to ascending to the heavens. But seriously I did let them lead the way for most of the ride it was just on the final assent that I found it tedious to abide behind their mortal struggles; therefore, I stood up and demonstrated why I only use the baby granny smallest chainring to do wheelies.

Ahhh anyhow it was quite the lumpy ride, still I suppose I should do it again sometime if only for the motivating company of the cheerful Korean fellows. Perhaps next time I can get upwind from a roe dear and sprint down upon it to take its tender carcass home for a venison roast, of course I need a butcher and a giant oven first though- legal concerns who be of no matter as this is my fief and I am...

The Jeju Prince

The Lord of Jeju Sees Much Violence Upon the Water; Or, How Pooh Battled Baseballs and later almost had a Bath- But luckily just safely witnessed Some

Today I left my apartment and went to hit baseballs at the batting cages by Jeju City Hall. No helmet was given!!! What- it is not Crazy-sue-everyone-for-a-buck America!!! It is No-we-don't-need-any-hand-rails-Korea!!! (And yes this picture was taken on another day)

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
It is only 500 won a turn- 50cents. Anyhow, at the batting cages a cute kid and I started to talk, she was able to explain to me that she liked American Cocker Spaniels, and that she was interested in being my friend. She seemed fascinated talking with me enthralled as if I were Brad Pitt or Orlando Bloom. It was all very good for my ego; however, I explained to her that we could not really be friends as it would just would not work. I think she wanted to teach me Korean. I am not sure but I think she wanted to get my phone number? She made me repeat her elementary school's name and explained the name of her local English Academy. The kid was very sweet and kind so I decided to make the best of the situation and take some happy kid pictures. I think that is her younger sisyer with her too...
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Finally, I decided to give her a bit of information, so I told her where I taught English at. I said if she wanted she could call me at my place of work. Of course I did not give her a phone number. She will have to look it up in the phone book. But, it would be funny if I came back after teaching a class and had another teacher come up and told me an elementary school girl called and wanted to talk to me- Ha Ha. (I almost never answer the phone at my work place, except once in a while for the clueless humor factor. Most often, I can not tell what the caller wants, except when I recognize a name. So, she will invariablyly be talking to a serious minded Korean.) I think I was just a momentary oddity that she was intrigued with but will soon forget. The whole thing is noteworthy because the same situation would never ever ever happen in America to me- unless I really was Brad Pitt or Orlando Bloom!

Later in the day I took a picture of two more silly shirts. What exactly does this mean to you?

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
Then there is one that is a bit graphic- I hid this girls face so as to protect her future in bible sales. No no I have yet to meet a bible saleswoman in Korea.

This one says it all: an "American Princess"

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
But actually she was not an American- but who knows maybe she is a princess. She does look royal next to me: The Lord of all Sweaty Stoats.

Mmmm Right,and this is the famed fountain of Jeju City that shoots water synchronized to music.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
Much better than Las Vegas- as with this fountain you can run rip shod and soaking through the jets as they blast your arse.

Also I stopped at the bicycle and rollerblade kiddy dream land a safe place to do these sports, if you avoid colliding with the other children. I think it is at a place named called Tap Dong - but that is prooaobly misspelllltt.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
There I ran into a cute little chubby boy getting an expedient rub down by his mom.

He and his brothers were way cute but he was wet and clean, so I was not sure if I could do a picture with him seeing as I was all sweaty from riding about.
