What's Your Edge

I know, I've been terrible at updating my blog. Excuses aside, here's a quick little picture update since I went on an Asian trip (Koh Samui, Thailand, and then Busan and Seoul, South Korea) near the end of September, then when I got back I went to Detroit for the last two games of the Twins-Tigers series. And now, in about 10 hours, I leave on a flight for South Africa where hopefully I'll come out with some photos as sweet as Cole's blog showcased awhile back. I didn't bring my SLR with to Asia, but plan on doing so for South Africa because I wasn't happy with the overall quality of my night pics.

Anyway, here's a few pictures of what I've been up to when I haven't been playing poker (which on the overall whole has went well when I've played the last few months):

Above, awesome beach and some of the quite expansive skyline of Busan, South Korea.

Very sweet bridge that changes lit up colors at night and is at the same beach as the first picture, in Busan. The bridge is gigantic as well.

Me enjoying an authentic Korean BBQ in South Korea. I need to do a nice Korean BBQ in America more often, man that stuff is good.

You stick your foot into this huge tub with thousands of minnows. They bite the dead skin off your foot. It tickles a lot at first but you get used to it and it feels really good....sort of like an accupuncture type of foot massage is how I'd describe it.

Some of Busan, from 120 meters up. Stupid glare from the flash...

A several hundred year old temple in Seoul, South Korea.

The reward for climbing up 500 meters worth of rock/mountain with only a rope and other trees to grab onto. So exhausting but so worth it! By the end of it, honestly one of the more challenging physical things I've done, simply because I did the climb without bringing any water with me so by the end I was quite thirsty. This is near Koh Samui, Thailand.

Sort of shows what a lot of the climb was like to get to the top...

The resort I stayed at that was right on the beach in Koh Samui. This is obv the pool that overlooks it.

Scenic lagoon at one of the islands near Koh Samui...

Jealous yet? It was a fun trip. :)

Dave P, myself, and Bicyclekick at the Twins-Tigers games in Detroit. It wasn't hard at all to get some killer seats, which was kind of surprising considering the magnitude of the games :) Even though the Twins didn't win it all, I' still proud of their effort and the awesome run into the playoffs... The end of the regular season was like a whole bunch of game 7s.

That should do it for now. I need some sleep before my 9hr flight to Amsterdam and 11 hour flight from there to South Africa.

That resort in Koh Samui looks like the one I stayed at. Is it the Thai House?
