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.

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

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?

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...

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

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

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

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.

Hey Dan,
I loved your pictures and letter. I think my dad was quite confused by your ramblings. Cultural differences, you know. I must admit I had to get used to it myself. We are all well . Jordan is 21 and I hope he'll get a job after graduation this May.
Peter is a freshman and is enjoying himself. Annie is in 8th grade and taxing all my time and abilities to keep up with her.
Mark and I are well and busy with everyday life.
We became Orthodox Christians (as in Russian, Greek etc.)about 13 years ago and love that Church.
We see Eric once in a while. He seems fine.
Your humdrum but loving cousin,
Tita

Dan
