It&#8217;s not easy and the summer heat wasn&#8217;t helping either. But after a day I was ok and back on track.<\/p>\n<p>I spent a lot of time with Kihun and Sunyul, lunato&#8217;s nephews, during the mornings while lunato was at work. I took a picture of her running off to catch her bus to go to work in the morning. Talking to a foreigner continuously in English is a daunting challenge to anyone who is not fluent in the language. However, Kihun and Sunyul faced this challenge quite enthusiastically and I could tell their english was somewhat improving.. or maybe it was just the shyness and fear of speaking awkwardly that was dissipating day by day. In any case, I was really glad to have them around.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some pictures of Anyang, Seoul&#8217;s suburb, and of Kihun and Sunyul as well.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a rel=\"[AN]lightbox\" title=\"LOTTE Mart\" href=\"\/images\/2006\/korea\/korea_02_01.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"LOTTE MART\" src=\"\/images\/2006\/korea\/thumb_korea_02_01.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"[AN]lightbox\" title=\"Highway\" href=\"\/images\/2006\/korea\/korea_02_02.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Highway\" src=\"\/images\/2006\/korea\/thumb_korea_02_02.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"[AN]lightbox\" title=\"Anyang Streets\" href=\"\/images\/2006\/korea\/korea_02_03.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Anyang Streets\" src=\"\/images\/2006\/korea\/thumb_korea_02_03.jpg\" \/><\/a>  <a rel=\"[AN]lightbox\" title=\"Kihun and Sunyul's School\" href=\"\/images\/2006\/korea\/korea_02_04.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Kihun and Sunyul's School\" src=\"\/images\/2006\/korea\/thumb_korea_02_04.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"[AN]lightbox\" title=\"Kihun and Sunyul\" href=\"\/images\/2006\/korea\/korea_02_05.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Kihun and Sunyul\" src=\"\/images\/2006\/korea\/thumb_korea_02_05.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"[AN]lightbox\" title=\"Sleeping at Lunato's hous\" href=\"\/images\/2006\/korea\/korea_02_06.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Sleeping at Lunato's house\" src=\"\/images\/2006\/korea\/thumb_korea_02_06.jpg\" \/><\/a>  <a rel=\"[AN]lightbox\" title=\"Lunato @ work\" href=\"\/images\/2006\/korea\/korea_02_07.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Lunato @ work\" src=\"\/images\/2006\/korea\/thumb_korea_02_07.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"[AN]lightbox\" title=\"Lunato's apartments\" href=\"\/images\/2006\/korea\/korea_02_08.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Lunato's apartments\" src=\"\/images\/2006\/korea\/thumb_korea_02_08.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"[AN]lightbox\" title=\"Lunato's apartments\" href=\"\/images\/2006\/korea\/korea_02_09.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Lunato's apartments\" src=\"\/images\/2006\/korea\/thumb_korea_02_09.jpg\" \/><\/a>  <a rel=\"[AN]lightbox\" title=\"Lunato's apartments\" href=\"\/images\/2006\/korea\/korea_02_10.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Lunato's apartments\" src=\"\/images\/2006\/korea\/thumb_korea_02_10.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"[AN]lightbox\" title=\"Lunato's apartments\" href=\"\/images\/2006\/korea\/korea_02_11.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Lunato's apartments\" src=\"\/images\/2006\/korea\/thumb_korea_02_11.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"[AN]lightbox\" title=\"Riverside Walk\" href=\"\/images\/2006\/korea\/korea_02_12.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Riverside Walk\" src=\"\/images\/2006\/korea\/thumb_korea_02_12.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having landed safely in Seoul on the 2nd of August I spent the next day attempting to stay awake as long as possible so as to shift my internal cycle to 13 hours ahead in time.
