We went to crstal the next day as well and had great spring snow.

Pat, Jay and I went to Baker to catch some pow

Then after 2 days of skiing and hospitality from Shawn and Jesse I Met up with another friend from Japan Patrick
Mandatory peak 2 peak shot

I got cliffed out on this one

STOMP

saw some sweet parolympic sitskiers dropping some cliffs under the lift.

he had a hard time even getting down

I then traveled to Vancouver an met up with Jesse who I actually met in Japan. the first night we went to the Cambie Bar and the Library Bar. Jesse was a wreck in the morning. puked a couple times on the way up to Whistler. He then passed out for the first couple hours at the top of the mountain.

And at the Busan Airport where all of the employees have a strict morning regiment of calisthenics.

Cara reminded my that it was St. Patrick's day. So we went ad had some beers at these people's bar.

Met the cool girl Cara at Indy House, great place to stay as well.

The love their pots around here

Who would have thought that SK has the highest population density of any country in the world, not me.

I went back to Busan for a day and checked out all that the city had to offer

Still don't understand how Korea bus companies make money. an hour bus ride costs $3, and you get first class leather seats that fold down flat.

Gyeongju, where even the hedges are shaped like tombs.

Cool woodwork

Ancient tombs are scattered around the town

And the elusive white tree

My favorite part of the temple wayyyy in a back corner.

Beautiful architecture

I Made it to Bulguksa Temple which was amazing as well.

Choo who owns the place even has a well inside the house!

I stayed at Sa Rang Chae in Gyeongju, unreal place.

Ancient observatory. Actually there is a picture of this on a rice wine bottle that everyone should drink if they go to Korea, and its only $.80, so have fun.

An ancient ice box. My grandma would have loved to have this much ice on her old sheep ranch.

Here I am at Anapji Pond


I traveled to Gyeongju, the 1000 year old capitol of Korea. Here there was tons of history and possibly the best guesthouse i have ever stayed at.
