Cheonan City Bus Tour 2 (9. Oct. 2011)

Hooray! I got to go on the Cheonan City Bus Tour again! We had a really great crowd, although smaller than expected (I booked 25 seats, but 11 showed up). Still, the crowd was great. Thanks to those who came and made it a memorable event.





Okay, enough talk: on to the pictures!




Expectation is in the air as we sit in the tour bus, heading towards our 1st stop.





Ingrid getting to know my Level 4 student, Sooway.





Fellow Bus tour-veteran (this was our 2nd tour) MJ!--with her energetic son.





Hey, Hojun!





I guess he wanted to say he didn't eat the chocolate cookie . . .





Hmmm . . . where are we going? What is there to do?





2nd stop: unofficial (and lacking) group picture.





Ingrid sitting in on an important meeting.





Lucia has a few things to say . . . politely.





Gabe just likes to look at things from a different angle.





Trying to figure out what's there to see.





Our tour bus.





Yes, we're still in Korea.





A traditional home with a natural setting.





Come, sit, and reason.





now, in old tyme.






Lunch!





MJ giving assistance.





Just remembered I haven't taken a picture of myself yet, so I made a quick self-shot before I concentrated on devouring my lunch.





Ever animated Gabe on a different sort of transportation.





Even with Korean traffic, it can be a little tricky.





Flowers and butterflies that caught my attention.





"All things bright and beautiful . . . "





Lucia presenting Yu Gwan Sun's shrine.





Lucia was really happy to be here.

I had the odd feeling of wanting to play chess.




The last stop: Independence Hall

Behold, my faithful group.




I wasn't sure if we could take pictures inside, so I decided to try my luck. I wasn't escorted out by security, so I guess it's ok. Sooway is explaining the turtle ship to the downtown Cheonan teachers, which was 1/16 (I think) of the original size.


There's TONS to see here; one needs at least a day. This venture will be continued.






As we leave and go back to board the bus, a lovely autumn scene unfolds before us.

hmmm . . . my favorite season.
