Nights in Seoul

Drinking on Monday night.

Danny suggested to drink on Monday and we gathered at Gordon Biersch, Mission Valley. Gordon Biersch is one of fine local beer brewery restaurants in San Diego area. Even better, we could have free beer until happy hour! Here's Greg, Danny, Chester(me) and those guys' coworker. (sorry. I forget his name.)
Danny will have marriage the next weekend at Korea and I'll be there too. Although I never said before, I envy him. /.\ Hey Dan! Your good time passed away. You should be jealous on my brilliant single life!!

Mountain, Desert and Lake

• Laguna mountain
  

On the top of the Laguna mountain , I could see desert view over couple of hills. Since here's highest land (6.3k ft) around San Diego, strong wind and low temperature made me quite chilly



The lonely observatory stands with the clear blue sky as background. Usually, no people stays and keeps this facility. I always wonder if someone operates it.

• Anza Borrego desert
  

After mountains, Julian, valley, there starts Anza Borrego desert. The cactus flowers' season starts at March or April. It's a miracle we can see this beautiful little flower in desert.





Surely, lots of cactus live there. Snake's lair also scares people since you can find it everywhere around.



Red colored little flowers were shaked too much by the wind. It was hard to take those guys.



I like this cute little flower. This color lets me recall the scene of forsythia in Korea. I've passed roads with blossom of forsythia at every day of Spring to get school.


The other side of desert is still dried and dead looked. My friends recommended me to travel a desert on winter rather than summer. It's easily emagined why.


Some vine flowers sticked and lived together. Even in a desert, living thing tends to get together to survive.

• Salton Sea
  

I've finally arrived at the Salton Sea. It was hot. It was dried. I was dusty. But there still is a huge lake.



Salton Sea is the biggest lake of California. It stays there because rivers and streams flow until it. There's no way out. So, tthis large amount of water just stays there. One may imagine how water gets salty under this hot circumstance.
A post stands in water. The white material around this post is salt. Can you see how this water is salty?



The place around Salton Sea is supposed to be dead environment but, surprisingly, you can find certain live animals on site.



Furthermore, there is little community of human. Salton Sea area has couple of small towns which are called as "city". No yellow brick road. No city hall. But there's still city.


Lonely posts are along the beach and it's time to go back to home.

Checkeri (End Class Party)

Traditionally, Korean people celebrate the end of a class by party with rice cake. Due to the end of the Design Pattern study group, we've had a 'kinda' checkeri. There's two guests - Sarah & Jay-hyuk and we missed Danny, this night.
Great job, guys! See you next meeting!!!

Cloudy sky of San Diego

Most of time, the sky of San Diego has nothing but clear blue and bright sun. These days are more like my home country's sky line. These cloudy sky was just before the rain started. Isn't it strange? Rain clouds make the whole scene different from usual days. Rare view in San Diego.
