Monroe, Washington, United States - 3rd February 2008

Hey! Guess where I am? I'm back in a cold climate after visiting South Korea, so now I've been to four out of 6 possible continents to visit. Antartica isn't really that accessible people have told me! :-) Sadly though on the plane to America I wasn't able to see out the window as I was on the exit door, and there wasn't a window next to me! :-( I'm hoping to get some pictures on the way back to South Korea before going back to Australia. As Sara told me that going to South Korea will be daytime, it will be night time on route to Australia... :-)
But here are some photos Sara took for me!...
This is on the way to Bathurst, we were just about there when this photo was taken and it was a very bumpy road, it was probably like 1 in the morning at this point, so I was VERY tired like Sara and Daniel were.
When we were at the airport we sat in a lounge and watched some planes take off, look how icky it was outside, it was really raining hard. Even the night before we left we had a blackout for a few hours!
...and this is the exact plane I rode on to South Korea! See how big it is? It was amazing!
Now I'm in South Korea... uhhh I'm SO tired! It's like 2 in the morning in this photo... I was quite bored too! Thankfully I had Cronus and Leo Lion to keep me company. :-)
Here's a Korean pay phone, how weird is that? I saw Sara getting very confused instead she used a different one that wasn't so scary and intimidating... haha...
Here was a sign outside of the internet cafe... not quite sure what it says... :-)
They had these signs all over the airport, it says 'Happy New Year' as you can see one in english in the background...
Here are just some random photos from around the airport.. :-)
That's the Korean money too, it was so weird to have someone say to Sara that she owed them 27,000 won at one point! :-P
It was time to sit down and rest for a while - but of course, we had a pepsi for all of us to share... :-)
I had one last view outside...
Now it was time to take a bit of a rest...
Now here are some random photos from Korea during the day. :-)
Almost time to go!...
...now I'm off to Washington! Now we have a 9 hour flight that was full of scary turbulence, I didn't like it! :-( But we got there okay! We arrived at 1130am. :-)
When I arrived I met up with Charity Bear for the first time, she's from Russia! We just relaxed the first day because of all the jet lag we barely slept for 3 days straight it was nice to get some sleep finally!
Then I met up with the two house cats that live here, they're pretty big, in the first photo is the boy called Jethro, and the second cat that's sniffing at us is Ellie, she's very curious. Sara said they were born the day after each other so they're not brother and sister but they look so alike don't they? I call them "Cow Kitties". :-)
This is a view from Sara's parents back porch, it was pretty grey and dark outside so you couldn't see much, but they're surrounded by the mountains! There's been some avalanches in the mountains lately since it's been snowing so much, hopefully it'll be a bit clearer to get better photos soon!
Here's a pavlova Sara made today for her parents. It's really yummy! It's a very famous Australian desert!
Okay it was time to rest for the day, still very jet lagged but hopefully we'll do something fun once the jet lag wears off a bit. :-)
I hope you're doing well! But I'm having so much fun here!
