Global Village Fall 2011 Sports Festival

Every semester Global Village holds a dorm wide sports festival. It's more like relay games. This semester we were split into 4 giant teams. My suite was apart of Team D!!! After the sports festival there is always a giant fest. This semester it was held on Saturday October 15, 2011.

Massive Tug-Of-War game!

My suite mates! I was lucky enough to have another awesome suite this semester.

During one of the games we had to blow up balloons. Afterwards there were so many extra balloons we just made balloon flowers!!! As you can also see during sports festival we are given either a t-shirt or a hoodie. This year we received these wonderful navy blue hoodies, til today everyone is still sporting them around Global Village! I am one of these people, that hoodie is really comfortable.

Naksan 낙산 & Seoraksan 서락산

On the weekend of October 1 - 3, 2011 Kristen and I took a trip to the East Coast of Korea. I was so excited because that means for the first time in my life I was able to watch the sunrise off the horizon. Vancouver is located on West Coast of Canada so I have seen the sunrise surrounded by mountains (also very beautiful), but I have never see it come above the water so this was going to be very exciting.

We were also going to visit one of the famous mountains in Korea, Seoraksan. We stayed in a small city called Naksan a short bus ride away and the beach plus the temple there was gorgeous as well. Definitely a must see if you are coming to visit Korea!

Wishing Rocks, on the way up Seoraksan

The rock face that we climbed up of.

The view at one of the "peaks"...it was a giant rock face and we're not sure if it was actually a peak, but we were high up and could see pretty far. Really gorgeous!
