Day 30

So I have been here a month and what one thing impresses me to no end?  The Toilet!  Yes, Korea has amazing toilets.  At first glance, this standard Korean toilet seems much like any other toilet with exception to the Star Trek console to the left.
You can probably get a decent idea what each button does....there is even a heated seat. With these options, Koreans do not use much toilet paper...there is no need to.  From a sustainability standpoint, think how many trees go to supplying the U.S. with toilet paper, certainly we can come up with something similar and jut as ecological sound!

Day 27

Studio shots showing plastic tents containing silk thread that will provide the structure for various Korean sprouts.

Day 23

Another pic of the mobile garden which is looking a bit limp from the extreme heat.

Day 21

There is a new mobile garden here in Korea, a wheat-grass model which is airline friendly.  Here is a short clip:

I have gone out a few times and have some decent footage from sticking a magnetic gorilla-pod on walls and the like.  I really need a better video camera as some wonderful public interactions were blurry.

Day 18

I had found all these filters discarded by an automotive shop in the neighborhood.  Each unit is composed of four quarter round filters glued together to form a cylinder.  This is what each individual filter look like.

Day 16

Been having fun with my new portable near-infrared spectrometer and tomographic system designed to detect, classify, and isolate genetically modified (GM) foods in the field.  I am certain there must be some GM around here somewhere.....

Most ignored me.....however a few spoke English and we discussed the food production and GM use in the US.  Korea has banned this untested and dangerous technology.

I found my way home tonight thanks to a few very generous foreigners.  The first, a Korean-American who is just beginning his pre-med studies at Boston U and second, a pair of English speaking Indians.  Thank you all!
