On Friday evening we arrived at Dandelion Community, see http://www.dandelionschool.net/default/menu_51/menu_82.php?submenu=82&menu=51
if your interested.

In a nut Shell Dr. In Soo Kim had a philosophy of living off the land as much as possible and has worked on a number of energy reducing projects.
Two MCC Salters work at this Community as well. There are about 45 staff and they house an Alternative School of 75 students from around Korea. It is a very interesting place to see there thinking worked out in real time and real life.

The Guest House at Dandelion village that we stayed at. Branden had a bed and Doreen and I spelt on the floor.

 We arrived in Busan right after Bruce Dueck left, sorry we missed you but in a city of 3 million we may not have bumped into each other. We visited the Fish Market where every kind of fish is on display and ready for cooking.




 Busan is a City under Construction with many new projects on the go. Bridges and Apartments going up everywhere

 We took a long hike in a park to see the Ocean and a Lighthouse. Some folks took the trolley but we walked a hard mile or three.


 333 feet above sea level the view was great but the picture does not do the view justice.

 Fishermen down on the rocks casting for the evenings catch.
 
 






 A Professor from the University in Busan was our host for dinner this evening. What a spread again.
 
 
 
The Kim Family have been our Gracious Hosts for two months. They have taken us to see much of Korea. They met us at the Airport in Seoul and we started seeing the country. First place was Chuncheon where we lived and spent most of our time. However we did get to the Peace Dam and The DMZ early in our time. Later we made several trips to Seoul to shop and get help for Branden's headaches. The headaches are not completely gone but he has had some better times during the last few weeks. Thank you all for your prayers. Then on one week end we visited a very famous Buddhist Temple and one Saturday we travelled over the mountains to the East Coast and a Park. We spent the final weekend on a family trip with everyone down south to Busan. They dropped us off at a hotel and we will connect for breakfast tomorrow and say our final good byes.
