Wedding Anniversary in South Korea :: Birthday
Sunday, May 27th is Mi Sung's 30th birthday and our fourth wedding anniversary. We were officially married in Seoul, South Korea on May 27, 2003. We had an apartment rooftop BBQ today with all the foreign teachers and our supervisor Sophia and her daughter Anna. We had delicious Americana BBQ'd beef, three types of salads, and appetizers all thanks mostly to Sean & Erin (Toronto) and Aaron (Calgary) who prepared the amazing feast for all to enjoy!
We had unusually clear weather today, absent of smog or the likeness we have not seen in the West. So, I rode the trails and streets loop around Ansan 3X's today. I just returned from a night ride. My bike is a Korean (built in China, as most are) LESPO...it's aluminum with a mix of Shimano parts including rapid fires, annodized rims with semi-radial spokes. It's looks and rides great for $250. ^^++ It's quality for the price, bought in Korea is as close to buying in China that we can get.
Our BBQ today was good, it's a little odd seeing the supervisor allowing her underaged daughter drink Captain Morgan's until she was flush, but this is Korea. ^^++ Tomorrow is our anniversary, am I ready?

About the Korean-World Author
Brian has completed his second mountain bike journey, MongoliaX expedition - Crossing Mongolia 2012, an unsupported mountain bike MTB expedition across 2500km of Outer Mongolia from Ulanbaatar to Altai Taven-Bogd National Park bordering China, Russia and Mongolia.
In 2013, as a sequel to a trilogy of cycle tours, Brian enjoyed a more leisure bicycle tour onboard his Koga-Miyata World Traveller seeing the northern tier of the United States and western Canada covering 3400 kilometers / 2000 miles in 30 days. This North American cycle tour was called Totherocktour. Enjoying the adventure of bicycle travel and every great conversation started while traveling on the road - has refueled his inspirations to cycle around the Earth. In 2013, while he cycled solo from the Great Lake State of Michigan, United States to Banff National Park in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. He weaved through local communities and reconnected with friends, family and community after spending almost a decade in Asia.
Brian is now supporting several non-profit foundations through expeditions: IDEAS Foundation of Canada IDEAS is the acronym for Intestinal Disease Education and Awareness Society which supports the IBD community, those suffering from IBD-inflammatory bowel disease, also known as Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis.
