Vanity post of absolutely no consequence.

This is me and Jim sitting in front of the computer this afternoon.



And this was after some more time in front of the computer.

You know that episode of the Simpsons, where they go to China?

Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to finally present part one in our three part series, "Jim and Becka go to China".

How we spent our anniversary (kind of but not really)

These pictures are actually from October 2nd, the last day of work before a week-long break for Chuseok, which is possibly Korea's biggest holiday. Jim and I got to dress up in hanbok, the traditional Korean garment, often broken out for paying respects to ancestors at Chuseok. Then we got to teach the kids how to properly bow. While wearing the outfits. In English.

A whole whack of picture proof!

Getting suited up by one of my the students.

I taught the girls how to bow. Females are required to cross their right foot over their left, and place their right hand over their left - elbows raised, then sink down into a cross-legged position, then bow their heads down to the ground. Then stand up from that position, while keeping hands/arms in their position. Riiight.

The men's bow, of course, is about a thousand times easier.

We like posing with kids because they make us look good. :)

Fan culture at its finest for the Busan Lotte Giants

I know, I know. We haven't posted in ages. But we'll be more than making up for it over the next week, with our first video posts (finally!), a little fashion show of us modelling the very finest in traditional Korean Chuseok garments, and some evidence of our having been in China (which was amazing, mind-boggling, heart-breaking, and surreal).

Up first! Our first (not really edited, but hopefully compressed enough) video. It's about 7 minutes. Enjoy!
