Seaside Picnic/Sora's Bday

Last Saturday we met on the beach for a picnic in celebration of Sora's life. We had a blast. First came the presents. Then the Sangria and Subs and Fruit. Then "Catch Ball" and Frisbee. Lots of Frisbee. Then the "Ha Game." Credits to Sujin for coming up with the penalty: writing your name in the sky with your butt-n-hips. Just imagine this with Asian names...you know Korean characters have circles and all....

A Birthday Toast, "Wedding Style"

Two glasses of Neal's Sangria and Sora is goooooooone...

Everyone knows it. Everyone except two curious Chinese men who intently watched the entire event.

Nadeige, runner-up, writes an "a"

Tomorrow evening we're off on the night ferry north to Dalian. Dalian is supposed to be the "Most Suitable for Living" of all Chinese cities. Weihai is one of the top ten, so we'll see how they compare. I'm just in for a change of scenery and, of course, to ride a Chinese ferry at night. Promises to be an adventure.
