Paju bound

A view of Paju from the Geumchon train station - it is very much like any other Korean city, with one exception - a lot more construction work going on everywhere.

Dax, in the middle with the wild hair, one of my former students from the BLC days, who is also now teaching here in South Korea.

Some 'sakkie-sakkie', or basic two-step shuffle to the strains of a concertina and a guitar.

On Saturday a whole slew of South Africans converged on Paju to take part in that tradition known as the braai! Shown here are Taryn (in front on the left) and Scot, standing at right, who accompanied me to the event.

Taryn was in her element - able to catch up and see she is not the only person from SA here in South Korea, and Scot had a great time confusing people - he is American, looks South African, and spoke to those who addressed him in Afrikaans in Korean!

We ate some lamb chops and sosaties and boerewors - shown here sizzling on the braai! We danced, we sang the national anthem, we met new people and old friends and had a great time!
