Cockfights ...

This video shows just how much fun Filipino cockfights are.

It's not graphic, anyone can watch.

This was taken about a minutes or two before the fight, when the place goes nuts with bets being made.

The man sitting to my right was my handler who made all my bets for me.

Cockfights in the Philippines.

Admission: $1.50
Profits Made: $10

St. Patrick's Day

One wouldn't think Seoul to be a hotspot of St. Paddy's Day activities. But there is actually a parade (which lasts about ten minutes) and then a cool festival with Irish music afterward. The festival is a neat mix of expats and Koreans themselves who get into putting on green and wearing stupid hats.


So here's a few pictures from the day.

Me and the Guinness man.


Koreans marching in the parade.


It's not St. Patrick's Day without the Korean chapter of Hell's Angels.


Very few countries would let foreigners use their military for a prop. Fortunately they let us use them for a picture with our friend Matt.



OK. This is really wrong. Marissa, our friend MinJong and I standing outside a bar called Texas on St. Patrick's Day in Korea.
