Min-Ju (from Alpha Class) and her friend (from Omega Class) . Maybe only a Christian would understand why I think it's pretty cool that a student from Alpha and Omega are in the same photo! Jesus said, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last." (Revelation 1:8,11, 22:13)

Im Ah-Rim...I am posting this by special request. One of my students (Ji-Ho) is crazy about this camp counselor. I am still waiting for him to have the confidence to talk to her...Don't be shy, Ji-Ho! :-)

Hiun Ho was so good at the "shooting range" that he won that cute little Donald Duck doll! (in Mexican attire...)

This ride wasn't THAT fast but it sure did speed up near the end!

Me and some members of Gamma class on the "Top Spin" ride

university camp students going crazy for the camera, ha!ha!

Kappa students enjoying a short break in between amusement rides!

Alpha boys! Young-Hyo, Jong-Pa (I can just hear him saying "Just call me PA!") and Jang-Ik.

Omega Class girls

Seong-Yun on the bumper cars

Ji-Heok on the bumper cars

A rumor was verified and the camp director was caught fraternizing with a camp teacher just beside the bumper cars. Okay, so they're married....ha!ha!

Robbie Kitchen having a "blast"

Tuan enjoying himself at WooBang Land

Chang-Yong, Andy and Hiun-Ho drinking our "Dry Juice" which is basically normal juice with another cup underneath with dry ice in it to make smoke come out, I guess.

"Dry Juice" in the making

"Dry Juice ajashe" making a pretty penny at 2,000 won a cup! And this stuff was "flowing like milk" as my good friend, Daniel would say!

Ruy Lopes, you just plain stone crazy!!! :-)

Hiun-Ho with his curly hair ready to take on any ride

One of our shy elementary school camp teachers with his not so shy elementary school student.

Jason Choi and his fan club!

Chang-Woo looking a little nervous while waiting in line for one of the roller-coasters, ha!ha!

2 of the ladies from Zeta Class. The girl on the left, Min-Ji, has been voted in by many of the university boys as "the most beautiful girl at camp".

A great picture of Seong-Yun

Hey, whatchoo looking at, partner?! You want trouble?! "We'll shoot you so full of lead..."

Cable cars?! We don't need no stinking cable cars!

The view from the FRONT seat of the hurricane...

Jason Choi who rode with me in the front seat of "The Hurricane". This ride was pretty awesome but like most rides there, it was WAY too short. (2 minutes maybe...)

The oh-so-beautiful Vietnamese American Hien Vu, one of our middle school camp teachers enjoying herself at WooBang Land.

A Korean Harry Potter?! No, this is just a weird items seller. You could buy strange witch hats, plastic pitchforks or rubber hammers to hit your friends over the head with...they also had a lot of "Scream" type masks around. What's up with the Halloween stuff this week?!

Chang-Wook and his "B.M.W.

Jae-Yun and Mr. Pig (Hey! Is that a cop's cat on that "pig"?!) In the background, Ji-Ho continues to be Ji-Ho, ha!ha!

Ji-Ho and his new robot friend

Woo Bang Tower

Just inside the entrance to "WooBang Land". This is supposed to be like a Christmas story book page welcoming people to WooBang Tower Land, I think.

This "no-rides-barred-badge", given to all teachers, allowed access to ALL rides! Students were given "The Big 5 ticket" which included entrance fee + natural amusement park (the kids told me that meant "botanical garden" of some kind and weren't interested) + 4 kinds of rides (but not bungee jumping...) + sliding. Of course I enjoyed only the rides with my students and there really wasn't time for more than 5 rides anyway.

My boys at WooBang Tower Land Parking after arriving about 11am. We basically had from 11am to 3:30pm to tour the entire amusement park. It was a great day! (and can you believe I was PAID for this?! :-))

Bus #11 (of 12) with all 38 people boarded and ready to roll! Gamma (12 students), Kappa (10) and Delta (12) classes, their 3 foreign teachers and 1 Korean teacher all accounted for, sir!

The students lining up for row call just before heading off on our field-trip to Daegu (about 2 hours from Jinju) on Wednesday to go to WooBang Tower Land. 504 people to organize buses, snacks, lunch, amusement park tickets for...WOW!

A blast from the past! I was just as surprised as Jin Ik-Han when he ran up to me about a week ago and said, "Andy?! Andy?! Is that you?!" Ik-Han was one of my students in the 2001 English camp. He is VERY popular on campus as he has graduated and has just been accepted as a government official. This is a rare, gem of a job in Korea and the entire university is proud of him-as am I! :-)

"Come on Aileen!" Actually Aileen is pronouned more like "Ailing" than "Eileen" but I'm sure she still gets "Come on Eileen" by the Dexies Midnight Runners sung at her all the time. Aileen is another university teacher that I enjoy working with. I always teach the students she taught one week after her, and she's "a hard act to follow"! :-)

Brian, Brian, Brian! Good old Brian Virostek, Daniel and I go way back from working together on a previous camp. Brian is SO great with the kids and I think he's one of the favorite teachers of the camp. I remember seeing him and his beautiful pregant wife near my church in Seoul about a year ago. Of course they've had their child since then and are happily married. Glad to be working with you again, Brian!

Lee Jeong-Ah (nickname-"oh-jing-a" or cuttle fish), the Omega class "I have a dream workshop" end of class quiz champion! (We had to take quite a few photos before she was satisfied with this one, ha!ha!) Note on background: Christmas decorations and lights often stay up a LONG time in Korea...

Lee Jeong-Suk, one of the Liaison Officers of the Administrative Camp Staff. I had a bit of a crush on her when I first met her years ago... She is now married and has a child. We laughed about the fact that she is a real "ajuma" now. It was great seeing her again.
