this weekend was the biggest national holiday in Korea, Shushok (not sure how its spelt), a time where people hit the road in the millions to go home and pay their respects to there family.
Korea is pretty closed during that time as everyone is going home so i had left to go to seoul for several days ending on sunday (the main day of shu-thingo). took a flight from the small airport here and had a pretty bumpy ride, i dont mind it but the guy near me was in panic mode.
this time was at a hotel in the business district, so some pretty average food type places around… however hotel made some good pizza so i was happy, although a little sick from going overboard on the pizza.
2nd day there spent the entire day in the electronic district, pretty damn awesome place… i think by the end of the day i only was in one of the big buildings but so much there, floors each with different catagory of gadgets and things. so easy to spend ages if your a GG. price was pretty good because of all the different shops of the same type right next to eachother. but they all see pretty happy to help eachother too as with a few different stores i needed something they didnt have so they went to another shop to pick it up for me.
tv dvx box with 500gig hdd, upgrade for mini laptop, portable dvd burner, portable HDD and a sony media player later and i was done for the day.
subway is nuts by the way, easy to get lost and english isnt a really big thing in some parts of korea so gotta make sure you have a map and a plan.
day 3 was spending a day in the shopping areaishy thing, streets of people and mainly clothes and resturaunts but lots and another place to spend a day.
day 4 was day of everything being closed but went for a walk in a big tome/park area just behind the hotel, beautiful and luckly open. funny seeing a park surrounded by huge buildings… really not many parks in seoul.
another pizza later and off to the airport to go back to SaCheon.
exhausted after all the walking, so today and im pretty sure tomorrow too, ima going to be resting.
hope everyone is doing well and peace out from South Korea for another week!
sorry no pics this week, will add some when i can.

The game I play the most on my xbox 360, is Call of Duty 4, occasionally swapped with Halo 3.
I prefer CoD4, but Halo 3 is good for online split screen. CoD4 can get a little boring waiting for your turn, but I still loved to play it regardless.
A new game’s taken over though :O, Unreal Tournament 3 :D. I don’t know if it’s because it’s better than CoD4, or because it’s possible to do split screen online, but it’s definitely taking up a lot of time. I’m making this post in between my gaming gap.
If anyone’s interested in having an UT3 online match soon, just post your 360 gamertag here and when’s good for you :D.
this week was more of an everyday week, went for run to park up the hill then around a lotus pond, some food shopping and looking at some more traditional markets… little old ladies everywhere i might add!
from all their bending ect, alot of them walk always bent over which is sad to me. but life goes on and they im sure would be use to it by now.
took a trip up to the top of a mountain here in SaCheon which has a small temple. really beautiful place, to get their you need to take a car but the path is just big enough for it, plus its all windy up the side of the mountain, looking down. im sure the taxi driver was having fun ^^
the temple is right in the middle of the peak with forrests of bamboo surrounding, overlooking the other mountains and clouds. just really id picture such a temple to be. not only that but the monks there dont get many visitors and so its remained very buddhist in nature without going into the money gaining attitudes of so many here.

I’m an avid 360 gamer and have owned all consoles. Next Gen console wise only have the 360 left after selling the PS3 and Wii. And I’m a little obsessed with Achievement Points. One thing that, annoys me as a Gamer, is the varying difficulty of achievements. I recently wrote an article on 360Crazy.com explaining my thoughts on this. And now, I’m not one to show off - ok I am - but, QueenB submitted it to N4G also. Which to those who don’t know, is one of the biggest, if not biggest, gaming news site (News 4 Gamers see :P). Forget going to the 360 section, or recent stories, it’s been moved from 3rd hottest story to 2nd 
So yeah, I’m showing off. But, also linking you all the article
