One our friends singing Karoke
Cool eatery
Tae Kwan Do
Crazy advertisementToday has been one of the best days we have had so far. We started the day at the Jeonju Provincial Police Headquarters (think state police). While here we saw the Jeonju CSI lab and met with some of their investigators. They displayed their profiling and computer sketch abilities. They even hooked one of us up to lie detector machine, not me for once. I then shot a gun in their shooting range. Ok, it was a gun that shot electronic bullets and after getting a feel for the target on my second round scored rather well.
A visit to Woosuk University was next and there we toured the campus and met with a professor who is doing research in Kim Chi, the fermented and spicy cabbage that Koreans are famous for. Kim Chi is commonly thought of as one of the world’s healthiest foods. See article link here (LINK). He is basically looking at replicated and improving upon the amino acids that Kin Chi has. It’s basically better for you than yogurt, less fat!
We were also treated to an impromptu Tae Kwan Do performance. It was spectacular. Their performance told the story of the Donghak peasant revolution in late 19th century Korea. Think River Dance meets the Karate Kid, with really athletic and violent ballet. Now that’s a mental picture. Woosuk University is famous for their Tae Kwan Do program, it’s a major and required study by every Korean soldier. SO it was like walking up to tour Duke and then getting to watch them scrimmage before the NCAA tournament.
We visited a museum and then went to a great noodle restaurant. Afterward the families took us out to a little whole in the wall dive for food. It’s like a meat and three in Memphis, except they have fish, Kim Chi, and …, live cut up octopus. I ate some…, of course. From there we hit the town for the typical Karaoke performance. I revisited my performance of Elvis’, Suspicious Lies to a thunderous crowd.
After getting “home” I slept for about 4 or five hours and then had a Skype class with the 8th and 5th graders of Hutchison. They asked great questions and it was good to see everyone.
I’m out!!
