A Cycle Circle Round And Round with The Mounted Lord of the Isle of Jeju

So I decided to take my camera on this loop from the high ground to the sea and up again. I did NOT take any pictures of me drafting the trucks and buses so insanely but that would be unsafe as you need both hands on the brakes when you draft- unless of course you're insane - actually it is a swerve brake reaction when the slipstreamed vehicle stops suddenly. Err one of these days I am going to tape my camera on top of my helmet and make a quacky driving movie... Anyhow let us begin with the pictures:

Hmmm so here is me at a round about in Sin-Jeju very funny and dangerous you can play bully boy chicken if you are driving will he yield for you- I play nice in these of course - but Korean drivers enjoy these immensely as they try to establish their first place position in the rotary hierarchy.

Here is me blocking the Main street - All must Yield- FACE ME THE NEW LORD OF MONKEYS !!! I DON'T FEAR DEATH - DO YOU?

Once again I have returned to the beach plaza - these boys may be far cuter than me - but I'm still faster and stronger.

The long view mm I believe I shall go embrace those rollerbladers - the Prince of Jeju loves all his subjects.

A Friendly Hug for a cool rollerblading fellow

And of course I must needs hug these two cute rollerblading ladies

And here we have the road along the sea towards Iho beach far in the distance you can see the Ramada hotel...

I am the vacation boyo of Winter...

maybe I should of swum in this ocean mmm if only I had a dry suit...

I may not match here mmm lucky I'm not a fashion freak...

What powers the Fat Lord of Jeju Pooh de Bear Prince of this Isle? Why Chocolate, grape drinks, and fruit candy no less-

Outside the store I met upon some of my small ones who populate my Island- cute kids I thought I'd get a picture and give them a bit of my chocolate too...

I am the Great Chocolate Smaug Lord of Jeju - and yet I am kind to the harmless little ones who dwell on my isle...

Some more happy kids...

Here then we have my beach front home - quite nice don't you think?

the tiered farm lands by the ocean

This then is what my great fat head looks like when I am riding my bike - perhaps what most Koreans see as I pass them in fury and power.

Here is another of my homes to be mmm maybe I should move in soon then I can swim every day- there is always the little problem of property ownership though...

Here is the shore coast road area close by Hagi mmm I think I will dig here or make it a hot tub all I need is a hot water pipe... or a hot spring...

Later though I realized my hot tub had a rock in it so I got mad... Mmm I will have to have it cleaned before I pipe hot water into it

And this is the view from my sand pit / future hot tub it'd be perfect those fishermen could roast fish for me while I sat in my hot tub...

On the way back up in the loop I came again to the highland farmers pink and green colors- how quaint maybe I will spare them the Noble Lord's crop levy this year.

The Lord and Prince of Jeju teaches The Queens English; Or, Ser Edward de Bear and a gentle English Crusade.

Well it seems my vacation between teaching the old students is spent with some students only around nine years into my unsullied Kingdom from their mothers' wombs. So it is that I train them up in the Lingua of the Crusaders err no that would be French mostly... ahhh how the French have fallen from their heights of chargers when they once were the campaigners for the protection of pilgrims and not making campaigns against the old values of the pious gentlemen. Ahhh oh yeah I was talking about young kids yeah yeah well the truth is these kids like me a lot, and I'm not sure why as they can barely ever understand anything I say to them. But, then I can't catch much of what they are speaking ether. Regardless, I'd take any size round full metal jacket or hollow point, in their place no problem. But, happily I'm not teaching in the Sudan, or Iraq so I'll never have the chance to prove my boast of Chivalry. As the Knight Errant, or Noble Prince for that matter, must always protect the weak and mild: be they little ones, the aged, or the weaker sex. You know this blog could disqualify me from any liberal University I apply for if read carefully by a Liberal Feminist, they have no sense of humor with pompous Medieval Don Quixote blaterings. However, I'm not worried as they will never read it.

Ok so ahhhh here is me looking confused about when the picture will snap, On the other hand the happy guys seem well posed for the flash so it be a pity not to show their charm:

And this would be me crowded by some happy girls who don't understand that I'm not a kind teacher; but in reality an incredibly Overgrown Stoat who somehow learned to orate and write rudimentary English words:



Ok well I'll have to replace these with a more/better ones later... ____________________________________________________________________

Yes here we go an update of the 8 and 9 year-old cute kids let start with some happy guys:

And now some sweet girls:

Same sweet kids another picture:

The problem with these young fellows is they had more interest in the computers than the camera...

Sometimes it is tough to get a picture of a cute little kid... Hey no hiding!

Now she's playing with her dress up girl sticker book - come on the cute kid next to you is being good...

Ah ha finally a smiling picture of this spunky little girl and friends

Three cute kids were very difficult to teach- NOT. This was about the easiest two classes a teacher ever worked. For sheer delight I would compare it to the time I got paid at an elementary school to read stories to kind, eager, and attentive, little Mexican immigrant kids. In both cases it was about as rewarding as you can get... well then again I have never gotten paid to argue the merits of the epic hero in a room full of English PHd learners. That might be as fulfilling, and deeper, but I doubt they'd all be as cute and happy to be with me.

The Grand kid pile and the ole Stoat. Look carefully at this picture and you will see a small silly boy pulling a girls cute little piggy tail. I have to reprimand him on that. No matter how cute the girls piggytails are you must not pull them.

As I said this is a silly little fellow giving her cute pigtail a squeeze- I’ll have to lecture him on that.

Hmmm well sorry I couldn't help it ether. I wonder if I'd get fired for that in America. Ahhh well it is Korea and I was only complimenting her on it...

Ok well that's it for the update, now I'll have to do some more bike pictures later I guess...

Happy Teen Girls and A Large Overgrown Stoat; Or, How Pooh was Confused in January when he kept seeing Multiple Piglets.

Yes well What can I say mmm There is A Girls' School in Jeju I Find Myself to be The English Prince of... I suppose it is inevitable as Noble Blood seems to usurp all others and Propel the Largest and Greatest of Stoats to the Head of the Hall. However I did not steal the Command of Toad Hall. Rather I am by rights the lord of this Class, but as you can see I am the elder and this is Korea so by rights I Rule this Classroom but it is an Enlightened Dictatorship. Ok so let us show a few of my kind, sweet, and much too happy students. Perhaps if they grow old and see the wastes of the Persian Gulf they shant not smile so broadly. But, there are few in this world who can claim to have served America for Oil and Oatmeal Cookie MRE bars and lived unjaded; or at least undusted from the dust that returned mayhap too soon. Righto enough bragging about the Marines... On to the happy girl pictures-

This is as many as I could muster for the camera- more students are off camera, as you can see some are a bit shy.

What can I say here? Two smiling teenage girls photographed with an Overgrown Stoat with Reasoning and Oratory Powers.

Yes it is a difficult job but someone has to teach these girls English.

Future Korean Successful adults with the Lord of Orangutan (in the Past is true I was the Jungle Lord of Singapore ask the Commandos who met me- but that has nothing at all to do with this picture).

And let us end on a happy smiling note... I know what you must think... I am too casual but these are extra vacation classes so my dress matches the students. Do they look like they have uniforms on? Well they are all uniformly cute and good hearted but I am referring to dress.

Hmmm next I'll have to do a Winter MTB one for some crazy pictures or maybe I should hike Halla again...

My Love has a Heart Harder than the Coldest Wrought Steel For she is of Titans

A lot of my students ask if I have a girlfriend. And although I have become acquainted with a few kind Korean Ladies who were good enough to buy me chocolate coffee drinks and broiled strips of pork we'd eat in leaf wraps; there is but One Lass I have here who I know like no other, a Silver Fairy I've shed blood on, a Soulless Entity I have accidentally crashed upon the pavement, scraping even her impossibly smooth but unyielding skin. For it is so that even the hardest glass is cut with stone. Righto here is a picture of my Long Living Love, and barring a Nuclear war there is none alive who can destroy a Merlin Made Extralight...




Though we may crash together in a tangle of pain and glory there will only be one whose main frame can never be broken, nor will that one ever see fear upon the impending doom of a speed lust that must dam the stricken fool to an earthy reckoning. Yet, the Draft and Slipstream are too sweet. Still, I have tried to take it slow when going down Mount Halla’s curving descents.

A Little Bit Of Heart and Seoul... Down Out In London New Orleans and Paris Too I Seouled Rigger in My Mind Just to Coast on Through Mmm mmm

And it came to pass that the Lord of Jeju deigned to sojourn to Seoul wherein he would consume many Western Foods and Wax Fatter in his Carnal Sloth. For it was ordained that the Great Pooh should Hug many in this Soul Town... parents directed him to hug their children, and Jovial drunk fellows were grateful to take pictures of him with their cell phones as well as use his camera on themselves. And lest we forget the cute punks, and bonny lass ladies they too were eager to be hugged and trapped in digital stillness, since it is known that Korean Ladies can sense Noble Blood better than any other them mostly all being princesses. (Ask a Korean Lady/Girl if she id a Princess and they nearly always say, "Yes I am Princess.")

Ok so let us begin the pictures...

UB40 I like that band- Is this a lost member?

Ahhh so kind a twenty-some -odd-year-old Ice Cream Girl is there a Greater Dream of a Fat Fellow than a cheerful Girl who gives him Ice Cream. I think not. Pooh would ever be her friend.



Here we have a fellow that I am forever thankful for the greatest sort of man one can never find in bereft Jeju... Yes that's right a Burger King Fast Food Clerk- God Bless him:


Hmmm yes let's continue on the Happy Belly Theme... Who could Please me More than a kind Donut Clerk who smiling sold me Donuts and then gave me a friendly hug. May she live long and see a Heaven even Greater than a Chocolate Honey Coated One where the stomach never weeps...




And let us not forget the sweet Lass Of the McDonald's Of Korean Convenience Stores: A Kindly Family Mart Clerk:



Here then is a fellow who works for the Good Of The Car Drivers a Brave Fellow with an Orange Magic Sword:




And let us remember a charming College Lady who was selling Cool Guy Sunglasses:



And there is no doubt I think this 21 year old KOEX clerk belongs in Lothlorean with the rest of the Fey gentle Folk:



And for the Climax we have a Waitress I confused with Cindy Crawford ... they do some advanced biomedical work in Korea maybe this is Clone errr no no she just a Biggeddy Bigggedy Bomb Smokin Lady and umm she seemed to smart too she was very fluent speaking Korean...



Mmm well on the Street I met many a charming fellow here we have a Korean "Handsome Guy."



Wow fashion Princesses Girls ... future rock stars?



This Guy Here has the High Care Hair, but I like it-



Mmmm what have we here but two Fine young University Lasses given a Friendly Embrace by the Visiting Lord of Jeju:



Ha ha I found Elves in the KOEX strange I thought they had all left the world of men long ago to go across the Sea...




Hmmm who is da C000lest? That is the Question...

KOEX Guy?



Or other Koex Guy?



Yet another triple girl hug, these poor University Girls looked as Cold as they were Cute so I was glad to help out a bit with a warm hug, sadly they had no chocolate or honey...



I thought I would get a few shots of the more individualistic Korean Style Pierced ones Here is a Man...



And here we have a friendly Non-Conformist Lass

Hmmm And what would the day be without some parents asking me to hug their children for a photo... I was glad to oblige and of course had them take one with my picture too... I wonder if the parents will put it online line too... Maybe they will ttile it: "Also during our Christmas Vacation in Seoul we met a Large but Very Kind and Friendly Fat Bear, the kids thought he was nice though."

And behind us I also thought this Axe head building was head splitting...

And then of course I thought I'd get some pictures with some Subway fancies... Here we have a fine fellow without his hair colored yellow...

and I do regret this sooo much this young lass was sooooo beautiful but you will never know as she laughed and giggled and covered her angel face... ahh well perhaps you canst read her beauty between the lines of her fingers- a pity.




And here we have some little cute kids I think they are saying, "He is a bit like a rather fat ole Bear but fun taking pictures with Large Portly Stoats!"



The Mighty Han river I rolled over while a gentle Lass relaxed reading in some Foreign eerrr her native language, that seems to be a problem encountered here all too often many of the books are written in the native language which I can only read very slowly, they need to Use the Language of the Jeju Conqueror - Ingles eerrr no not Hernando Cortez Espanola mmm I mean umm English. I suppose it all comes from them being in Asia and all...




And to return to the street anon- herein we have Christmas with the fuzzy Ladies- nice coat.

More Guys with Good hair... Pardon my Unkempt Shag but it was never known for a Poor Knight to use Hair Gel- Sweat from the Helmet would blind the eyes while riding down foe...

And let us not forget the MC Ladies who dance and promote non-stop, until a visiting Noble Man gives them a break...

I think this picture says a lot about Korean Girls; umm happy but deeply thoughtful as well I believe she is pondering the political repercussions of my visit... perhaps she knew I will subvert Seoul under my English Rule as I previously Crushed Jeju into Submission... "You will speak English!" "You Must Respect My Athorrratahhh!"

I gotta show this the little punk with her mitten is sooo cute... funny punks they are.



SOME PEOLPLE WORK FOR A LIVING JESU BLESS 'EM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Others go about hugging pretty police officer ladies for no apparent reason...

But life is not all hard here we have some happy Korean Men and some Equally Good Natured Western English Master Invaders-

But English Masters must rest their great and powerful heads which pillow their incredible brains in a genteelly rocking fluid-

But before this they must test sometimes to see if it is true these great brains can somehow be lulled...

My my what a very beautiful lady- Happy New Year!
