Well, Maxwell left today. he was the only real good friend that I had left here. I'll miss you Max! be sure to write me once in a while. Dirka Dirka. For anyone interested in visiting Maxwell's blog you can see it by clicking HERE


As I helped out Max, carry his huge suitcase out to the taxi so he could get to the airport, he gave me this. It's candy. Actually it's honey. What they do is, stretch the honey 500,000 times until it gets stretched so many times and gets to this that it looks like string. Then they roll it up and you can eat it. It's a lot like cotton candy. It was pretty good.


Today I taught a few classes to all of the Chaplain Assistant's in Area II today. Jung also taught 2 classes on Korea. We have training once every week.


After the training, I went to lunch. They around 2, the Chaplain asked me to drive him up the mountain near Seoul Tower so that he could say a prayer for a soldier who was retiring after 20 years of service in the military. I took this poctire of Seoul Tower up there. The humidity and heat make the smog pretty bad. As you can see the haze and smog were pretty bad today.


This is my new Chaplain. His name is Avrohom Horovitz and he is one of only 7 jewish Chaplain's in the Military. How I get stuck with all of the non-mainstream Chaplain's, I don't know. Here he is saying goodbye to SSG Clark after her retirement ceremony up on Namsan mountain.
