Hey for anyone who finds themselves here checking up on us. We are alive! That is good. We have been busy for the summer of work, hopefully it will continue through the rest of the year. Well let's see what else, we celebrated a birthday in Vegas, had a short film accepted to SIFF and LA shorts. We have 2 dogs and I never blog. For more current updates find me on facebook.

Business. Well, we are official now we have a website. We have no content up yet, but we have a website. our business name is access: media, our web site is accessdefined.com eventually we hope to be supported by ourselves. (fingers crossed and alot of prayers)

So we are back. I had significant issues with my mac so I was unable to post pictures from our trip. Soon enough you will be able to see some of our trip from the eyes of our camera.

Japan was great. We had a new experience with how to travel from the airport to an apartment with 6 luggage items while taking 3 different trains.

Anyways that is it for now.

The latest from Korea:

So over the last few days, we have done nothing really exciting. Rachel got really really sick. So she spent one day in bed vomiting. Which gave me time to fix my Mac, but as I write this on my windows partition, it did not go very well. The next day with Rachel still not feeling well we went to see the doctor. Rachel got her tongue poked with a few needles and I got my back stabbed with a few needles. After that wonderful experience we went to see where my in laws are planning to buy some land a build a house. It is on the western island of Kangwa. The land over looks a small lake that was completely frozen over. It is really beautiful and it will be a great place for their retirement. We stopped off at the a small fish stand and got some fresh sashimi and octopus, yum.

Yesterday we went to the Chinese doctor again for more treatment. And then headed to this huge mall in downtown Seoul, now the only reason I wanted to go and sort of the only reason we went was because they had an apple store of sorts. After we experienced some very poor customer service we went to the service center, which was no help either. Looks like I am stuck with out my OS X until I get home. (i hate windows). One positive thing that happened was we went to a Samsung display store. They had their new products on display. A mp3 touch that looked a lot cooler than the itouch, and way thinner. Laptops and surround systems, but the one thing I wanted was this really small camcorder. It was super sweet. So we will see if I go a hunting for something similar.

Well now we are getting ready in Korean Traditional garb to head to some festival stuff downtown.

I should have some updates about that soon.

Hello from Korea!

We just got back from shopping, getting all the food goodies for the holiday treats around here. The grocerie store was crazy busy and we went in the middle of a work day. Anyways, our travels were almost pleasant. We planned the airport just right. Having enough time to check that the internet was not free and to buy some great Washington wine. Our seats on the plane were great. The second row past Business class. So we got our drinks first and our food first. It was pleasant until we arrived in Japan. Our one layover. We had known about this stop all along, but knew we were not changing planes. So we thought that it was safe to buy our wine. Unfortunately the Japanese airport has this funny rule where when transferring you must go thought additional security check points which even thought we brought the wine on the plane we could not take the wine back on the same plane. AURGH! Frustration increased.

After we arrived in Korea our plane had to wait for about 40 minutes until it was finally allowed to dock at the gate. The craziness continued at the baggage claim when I was almost docked down twice from other people getting bags too heavy for them to lift off the carousel.

Well we got here and that is what really matters. The best part and redeeming part of traveling NWA was the Airbus had AC outlets on our seats so I was able to play on my computer for most of the flight.

I think we are going out again later for more shopping how fun!

We are heading out in the morning for Korea and Japan! It has been 3 years since we were there last. It is the first time I will be there for the Lunar New Years Celebration. Which I have heard is pretty much the biggest thing ever.

But the highlight I am looking forward to is spending some time in Japan. The goal is to hit some slopes and shred some snow on the Japanese slopes. (fingers crossed, that is all works out)
