Thinner

My diet is working.  I feel better, everything is gooder.  My co-teacher told me today, "If you keep losing weight, you will have many girlfriends, because you are very funny, you're cute, and you have a great personality."  That would sure be great, but I just don't think it can happen.  Not only do I not know anyone, or especially where to meet women, but I freeze up in social situations.  In a crowd, on stage, in front of a class, no problem at all - but one on one, I feel like I am being graded or analyzed, and I begin to seize up.  I always figured I'd die alone.

On a lighter note, I saw some beautiful things last weekend.

Ssangbongsa's wall

Dongbok Middle School

Ssangbonsa Dragon and How to train your dragon.

Morning prayers

Terraced valley on the way to Yeonhwasa (I never really found it and nearly wrecked my car trying to get there).

Ssangbonsa's small hall.
