I've given up on the summer... lets just move on...

As you can see... my coverage and update of how we spent our summer months died a sad death - to be honest there was just so much to cover in the East Coast trip that I couldn't find the time to get back to it.

So, instead, I am just going to post a couple of pics below for you to have a gander at and then I'll move on:

This is a short bundle of photos from our trip but with over 1,600 shots it might be better for you to check them out at your own leisure at our Flickr pages here and here (two folders - 1 for each camera)!

It looks like water... ssshhh!

So, besides summer camps, driving all over the country and a couple of birthdays it was a reasonably quick and painless summer - in that we didn't have to spend unnecessary amounts of time in school doing absolutely nothing which was a massive relief.

September seen the 2011 Chungju World Martial Arts Festival happening out the road from us and as it was within walking distance we got to enjoy most of the festivities.  The weather was good, there was enough entertainment to keep us busy, and it even fired up some desires to learn some forms of martial arts for ourselves.

It all started on a Friday night - so most of the Guest English Teachers (GETs) in Chungju went down to see what was going on which led to some drinking and shinanigans!

The following few days had displays of various martial arts from around the world (as the title of the festival would have suggested) and it also provided great opportunities for us to try our hands at activities too!

Again - all photos are available to view at our Flickr Photostream!
