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)


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...


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?

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"


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.




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.


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.
