Sky watching

Today after Korean class, I met up with Donna and we went out for lunch and then coffee. We went to the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in downtown, mainly because the day was gorgeous and the Coffee Bean has an outdoor patio on the third floor.

I sat under this sign... Just look at the clear blue sky!

These two girls are studying English. Part of their homework was to interview two foreigners and then take their photo as proof of the interview for the teachers.

The weird thing is that the girl in the middle
wasn't with them or a part of our conversation in any way!

Donna and I must have been up there chatting for about three hours. This gave me plenty of time to observe the sky. See, I'm planning on going to Busan tomorrow, assuming that it's not raining. The weather channel had predicted that it would rain buckets all weekend - but today was perfect. I kept my eyes peeled for weather changes, and this is what I saw:

That progression of clouds didn't look very promising.
However, right as I came out of the subway, I caught this sunset.
"Red sky at night, sailor's delight"
Perhaps tomorrow will be sunny after all!

Hi Jane,

I have nearly no faith in weather forecasts, but it's hard to lie on a recent satellite phote. http://weather.yahoo.com/img/asia_sat_440_mdy_y.html

Now, I need to find another source to view the latest satellite photos. It seems that Yahoo! and Flickr are have given into South Korean censorship demands according to The Marmot's Hole. http://www.rjkoehler.com/2007/06/15/yahoo-korea-more-censorship/#comments

I HATE that "interview a foreigner" assignment with a passion. I don't know if it's Koreans or foreigners assigning it, but I never will and if someone asks me to, I will flat out refuse to do it.

Amanda - I always take pity on them. I would be absolutely mortified if I were assigned that as my homework, and I try and make it as painless for them as possible. Also, the teachers who assign that shit should be shot.

Alida - Well, here's the short version: I'd been to Korea before... and a good friend here offered me a job. The long version is here. Enjoy!
