Brown Chicken, Brown Cow........there it's done!!

Just a note, Most of the others are taking the pictures, so my shots are limited.
I don't want to repeat here but, in a nutshell this is what has happened since Geumsan.

We are in a very nice hotel right in the center of things. We have spent much time exploring and eating. We toured Chungnam National University. You can see two of the permanent structures at left.

The city and campus are full of cherry blossom trees. It is an extremely clean and beautiful city. Everywhere are parks, gardens, trails, and outside exercise equipment.

After arriving we attended the District conference where everything went well. I do not have any pictures but the others do. I must say this conference is completely different then ours. Laser shows, live entertainment... very high technology.

We were outside and a man started walking around with a siren. I thought he was directing us back in but it was a "civil defense" exercise that is held every week to practice should an invasion come. Everyone must stop working and pay attention.

We have had wonderful meals. Night before last we had "burnt mackerel"(a appetizer). This is where the fish is cooked whole on a grill and you just tear it apart and eat it. Good! Sushi is different her. Basically the fish is pulled out of the tank and we eat it. Big thick slices, no rolled up stuff like at home. You just eat it. Also had sea squirt, a sea slug.

Yesterday for lunch we had fish head soup. Large fish, large jawbone. doesn't look so good but tastes great. This picture is of some of us and our host for the day. Next picture, the soup.


We attended the Cherry Blossom Festival at Gubongsan Mountain. Excellent food and beauty. We had a great time with our hosts.










I can not say enough about our hosts and this country. We have been absolutely taken care of had the best time. I think the team is acclimated to the time now and we are marching on. Today we tour the city.

Mr. Andrews, most clubs here alter the meeting times during the month. Say 2 noon meetings and 2 evening meetings. Kind of nice. One club has 2 regular meetings and 2 "outing" meetings. They go to the movies or the opera. Sounds great to me!
