I'm going to start posting ome of the weird t-shirts I see my students wearing. Most of them don't really make sense, but others are a little funny.

This one is an advertisement for a website I'm sure the kid wearing the shirt has never been to. I checked it out-- www.stickerjunkie.com -- and the price has dropped from $75 for 100 stickers to $25. You can write anything you want on it. A real bargain, really.

On the other hand, I find double-sided tape to be equally useful and much cheaper.

Sokcho RC Flyers

Sokcho has a small group of R/C aircraft enthusiasts that meet out in a field south of Dong-u College every Sunday to fly their planes and helicopters. I went out there with my son to watch this afternoon, and we had a great time. They are really quite talented flyers.

I’d love to get into it sometime, if my wife (Chief Financial Officer) would approve the expenditure. Not likely to happen anytime soon.

A much cheaper option, is the air-pressured plane I bought at E-mart for 10,500won 40-60 pumps, and it'll take off for about a minute of free flight, with no control whatsoever. I've already lost one plane that flew up and over our four-story school and into a residential area (I assume, since I couldn't find it on the roof or on the yard on the other side). My dad got one in Canada for three times the price of this one, so I figure if I can make do with two planes, I'll still be ahead. We had some good fun with this one, and they guys took a break from their thousand-dollar setups to watch this one go--it was good fun, and good exercise, too, as I ran after it, praying it wouldn't fall into a flooded rice field. It did, but close enough to the edge I could reach it without getting muddy.

Saylen was fascinated with the planes, and giggled with excitement each time they took off. I can imagine us enjoying this hobby together in a few years, if I can secretly stash enough money away.
