Day Thirty-Four

Because today was Jess's birthday, we decided to meet up for dinner, just the two of us, before Taekwondo. It wasn't a particularly special dinner - we needed somewhere nearby and quick so that we could eat and go to get to class within an hour, so we ended up heading to a sushi restaurant that I had never been to. After catching up on news and our various bad weeks, we quickly chose something to eat and ordered away. It took longer than usual because the kitchen was busy with a big takeaway order, but the meal was definitely worth the wait. I can't remember the last time that I had sushi that good or that cheap (only 5,000 won) and I will definitely be going back there very very VERY soon (possibly on Monday). So tonight's photo is of our meals - mine being sushi and maki? soup and Jess's being some form of noodle soup with side-sushi and rice.

Day Thirty Three

Today was Jessica's birthday dinner, and I put together a gift for her, which is what today's photo is of. Sadly I didn't have space in my bag for my camera. Anywho, the specs:

Day Thirty-Two

I was sitting at work this afternoon just before hometime and was contemplating what on earth I was going to do for dinner when Grant suggested a salad. Although I shrugged the suggestion off at first, it stuck with me and I decided that it wasn't such a bad plan after all. And so I made my way to the store and started chucking things into a basket. Anything that I could picture in a salad was bought until I had a ginormous, ridiculous salad planned out in my head of lettuce, tomato, chicken, ham, tteok (rice cakes) in soy sauce and dried noodles (think the two-minute variety). I came home and carefully put the meal together, and today's picture is of the resulting monstrosity, which actually didn't taste too bad once the tomatoes were removed (why I bothered with tomatoes when I hate them I will never know, but I thought they would go nicely. They didn't.)

Day Thirty-One

So yesterday was a day when I had absolutely no creative juices flowing through me whatsoever. It was my first day back at work and I had absolutely zero energy. I walked to Taekwondo (don't ask me how I convinced my legs to work) and took this photo along the way, outside Jess's school while I was waiting for her. The top sign is advertising Yongam Medical something or other, and it has been suggested that the bottom sign could be for a massage parlor. I have no clue and the subject of the signs is not the subject of the photo.

Day Thirty

Tonight there was no quiz, so I went and ate a kalmegi dinner with Jess and Jack, drank a cocktail and played a few games of pool, which I won overall. I was feeling especially unenthusiastic and uncreative today, so my photo of the day is nothing special but just a photo of the stacked pool balls.

Day Twenty=Nine

As anyone who reads this may have noticed, colour plays a huge part in a lot of my photography. Today is no exception. Today's photo doesn't hold any real significance aside from the fact that I just happened to walk past these berries and thought they were pretty. So here they are.

Day Twenty-Eight

Today I went on a hike around Sandang Samsong or Sandang Fortress in Cheongju. I didn't know how long it was supposed to be and expected it to be an easy climb. I was wrong. But it was definitely a lot of fun, and while I did take a number of good pictures throughout the hike, I thought that this photo of the uphill forest path leading out into the bright blue sunlit sky was a perfect representation of the day. It was taken with 1/200 shutter speed, 5.6 aperture and 100 ISO.
