Late For Dinner

"Adventures...Make you late for dinner." -- Bilbo Baggins

Featuring Thoughts and Images both Adventurous and Otherwise. Dealing mostly with those Occurences and Happenings which befall one Jordan Emmans, during his Sojourn in the Far East (South Korea, specifically). Giving no promise as to Quality or Frequency of posts. Expecting, however, great Diversity of Subject Matter. Hoping sincerely to Entertain and Enlighten those Readers who would care to glance herein. Or Something.

Location: Gwangju, South Korea

I'm a follower of Jesus and a guitarist/drummer/vocalist. I'm from Cool, CA, USA, and I've been in Korea since Jan. 27, 2006. Right now I'm giving teaching a try. Next year...who knows what I'll be doing. Life is an adventure!

Top of the mountain to ya!

These are pics from my Easter Sunday bike ride. Foothills of Mudoung Mt.:


And here's the view from near the top of the mountain, looking northeast, away from Gwangju:

A look downhill...


...and uphill. At the end of this dirt road is a South Korean military installation. This is actually as far as I got that day. As it was, I barely got back before dark:


See the icicle hanging by a thread of some kind? (Yes, it was pretty cold up there. I almost froze on the ride down.)


More hazy views from high above:


Gwangju from a distance:


This was my most epic ride so far. I basically climbed for three straight hours. My goal is to eventually ride to the top (or as near the top as the military will allow) in one day.
