Flowers

The trees on campus bloomed.

Some trees bloomed a while ago.

The sunlight shines right through the cherry petals.

.... unless I use a flash. :P

Bees are busy too.

I used a "poor man's macro lens" trick that I learned from my friend, Tylor Wurz. Holding my 50mm manual lens with the front element facing the image sensor provides me with the most cumbersome macro lens ever. However, my effort bore fruit, so I can't complain too much.

When standing under the trees, you can hear the buzzing.

Not much else to say, really.

The weather is getting warmer very quickly. My jackets and sweaters may not see daylight for a while. I'll have to go clothes shopping eventually. I don't own any shorts at the moments.

As always, thanks for following.

Korean Folk Village

The HI-Club took us on a tour of a Korean folk village. It is mostly a historical record of "back in the day" Korea with traditional houses/huts and a market. There were demonstrations of equestrian feats and traditional music performances. The day was full of merriment and laughter. I will leave it to the pictures to tell the rest of the story.

Hanging out before commencing the tour.

There only about 15 exchange students from Suwon, versus the 70+ from Seoul.

On the way to the pottery area.

Everyone received a kit to make their own clay pot, sculpture, whatever.

Group TWO! w00t!

Under the pottery tent. [HDR]

Most of the roofs were made of grass.

Flowers are coming.

One area was dedicated to torture devices. Everyone was having a great time there... ಠ_ಠ

Oh, you know, just some toddlers preparing to torture each other.

Jumping rope. Little kids aren't so good. ㅋㅋㅋ

Big kids can jump rope better. :P

Traditional Korean drums.

sign post.

Water wheel.

We all had dinner after the day at the village and went to a bar for an after-party at night. My friends from Suwon decided to go all-out, so we went to a club in 홍익 and danced until the sun came up. This of course, resulted in me sleeping throughout Sunday. Small price.
