Walking and Hiking Tours of Busan

Funny thing happened TODAY .  I went out into the backyard, and saw the head of a mouse.  Turns out my cat left it there and ate the body.  It's cat culture to leave the entire kill, or at least a portion of it for the master, namely me.  I also had a great Triceps, back, calves, abs, and gluts workout this morning. Turns out I didn't go out on THURSDAY NIGHT after all.  I am committed to keeping in shape, and with the AFL Grand Final Gala and the Thursday night party only two days apart, I couldn't justify it.  Anyways, my waistline is thanking me now. SATURDAY I skipped dinner on FRIDAY , in preparation for the five star hotel champagne buffet breakfast.  It was pure Australian fare; oven baked tomatoes, beef and chicken sausages, an egg and juice station, hash browns, bacon, bread, fruit, baked beans, but for me, the cereal corner was the main treat.  I had Raisin Bran and All Bran mixed together, and man, it was good.  I don't...

Carol and I both had an excellent week long vacation with Carol's Mom (May), and two nephews, Leo (17 years old) and Lee-Koon (Ken) (eight years old).  We went to a water-park, biked down a mountain for four hours, went white water rafting, played in the waves at Dreamland and Legian, checked out a zoo where an elephant kissed my cheek and put a wreath around my neck, witnessed a rooster fight, shopped a bit, went to a lounge-pub rooftop with Leo, went swimming a lot in our villas in Seminyak (near Kuta) and Ubud, saw a Hindu or Buddhist temple or two, went to the Monkey Forrest, watched Balinese dancing, ate and introduced international food to the boys (they liked Shwarmas, fries, steaks, burgers, and chicken the best; no surprise there, huh?).  Leo learned how to swim, while Ken tried his best to overcome his fear of the water.  Overall, it was an excellent trip.  Leo and Ken started to better understand the importance of English, since Ken made friends with kids...
