What makes your throat sore in only 3 hours time?

I'm starting with a few pictures from Sokcho because I think I left those out of a previous post. So, these are from a few weeks back when my friends from Avalon and I went out of town.
This is a picture of the mountain that we climbed up. It is called Ullsan-bawi mountain. It took a long time and comprised over 800 "stairs" that we had to go up. However, in actuality it felt like we were mountain climbing. In fact, some people were wearing helmets. We didn't get that memo.Did any of you know that 70% or Korea is mountains...we found that out, the hard way.Finally, just hanging out at the top. It took us a while, but we finally made it up there. After we got up to the top we considered just staying there forever. It was a really great experience though.

Moving on, Michael and Brian were here visiting this past week. It was really nice having visitors. I got to show them Seoul, and I think they enjoyed their time here. We did a lot of things so to recap it all here would take a really long time. We went to N Seoul tower, Children's Grand Park Zoo, Gyeongbokgong palace, Deoksugung palace, the War Memorial Museum, Suwon Fortrees, and Suwon Korean Folk Village...to name a few things. By far the coolest thing, for me, was Suwon fortress because I had never been there before.
Michael and I actually took a picture that I think he's going to send to the Record there.The very last thing we did while they were here was soju night and noraebang. The boys put up a big fuss about noraebang saying they didn't want to do it. Michael said that he would MOST DEFINITELY not sing. Welll a few shots of soju and 3 hours of noraebang later they were singing a different tune, literally. That is also the answer to the question which is the title of this particular blog entry. Noraebang makes your throat sore...if you do it for 3 hours straight.

This upcoming weekend Mark and I have to do this team building activity where we spend the night at some place with all of our co-workers...should be interesting. I have to remember to charge my camera battery...I had forgotten when Mike and Brian were here. So I had to rely on them to take all the photos.

More to come.
