Autumn rules in South Korea!
We're having some of the best weather of the entire year right now! Sunshine. Blue skies. Warm days with cool breezes. Very cool nights. It's exceptional weather. I went to Dongsan Church to see the guest speaker David Wakefield, a Missionary who spent 20 years working in Papua New Guinea in Bible translations. He gave a very detailed sermon about his life's work, and experiences living in native communities. Next Sunday, it's Professor Phil Galley, another gifted speaker who has a wealth of experiences abroad, considering he's lived outside of the US for more than 40 years! Our church is one of the largest in South Korea, take a look, and navigate through the Korean if your browser supports East Asian languages, you'll need an XP cd to see Korean Hangeul. Ansan Dongsan Church After the worship service (very touching, exceptional music too), I joined a few friends for noodles in the express cafeteria serving warm noodles on the first floor to hundreds of devotees. It's a wonderful experience being apart of this Christian organization, ^^++ After worship and the warm noodles, I needed to redesign this blog, eliminating the Slide Shows, they took too much CPU for most of us. So, it's just a simple/positive blog, the way bloggin' should be. ^^++ Late afternoon, I rode through Ansan and crossed paved service roads which pass countless rice fields, some harvested, others being harvested today. The weather was glorious and I rode all the way to Suwon, and took the subway back to Ansan for 1400 Korean Won, $1.50 ^^++ Simple pleasures, especially with the bike... Blessings to my friends and family from South Korea. Happy Birthday Nan & my grandmother Baba, and nephew Rian! Sanna Chukka Ham-Ni-Da! Only five more weeks to go till i start my new job teaching, new city, new students, new experience, looking forward to all of it!

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.
