Today

Today I've decided to eat at on of those dunkin'donuts that appear every where I look.
It wasn't that bad here.
I just can't get over the fact that those walk ways were used for massaging your feet(THEY HURT).
I got a chance to see what seoul looked like from the mountain.
It was like looking at  a city that wouldn't end no matter which way.
I got a glimpse at a fence that had a lot of locks on it.
When I looked on the other side I saw half as many keys.
I asked if anyone spoke english.
Immediately a man asked why.
I then asked him what the locks were for.
He said they were for couples who loved each-other.
I asked if they threw the keys over for the love to be everlasting.
He said No they are saying I'm through.

Today in korea

I stayed at the Shilla hotel.
It had a pool, gardens and very good service.
The hotel was worth the plane ride here(i like to keep my feet on the ground or in the water).
Every employee there spoke English(I had thought about buying translation guide).
I decided to go to the olympic park.
On seeing the entrance I saw the Olympic flame I had always wanted to see.
The park had a few walk ways in it.
I had seen a few people walking bare foot on this walk way.
I had ask why they did this but all I got was a few Korean words(second thoughts about that translation guide).
I decided to try this and did I find a surprise.
The walkway was not made of cement it was made with sharp rocks.
Immediately I had though that these people were crazy to do this.
Then I saw an unforgettable face.
great grand master Moo Yun Yung(tenth degree black belt in tae kwon do since the start of april 2008)and he was doing this.
That was when I left sadly and he was going in.
the restaraunt I had just come from was called the Top Cloud.
It wasn't what i had expected
