University alum established the garden in 2001, and the roses never looked back, or down.Within the lines of the city I call home (Gwangju), lies a couple universities. One, Chosun University, holds a rose festival in its rose garden or "jangmiwon" each May. With over 200 species in the Jangmiwon, seemingly every country barring Siberia was florally represented.

Beautiful Roses Stew! Are you still enjoying your time? Do any of your South Korean friends have opinions about all the North Korea drama? I heard this weekend that there was threat of an attack from the north because of missile tests that South Korea and the USA were conducting? Do people there take much stock in those kind of threats? I hope not!! Anyway, stay safe!! Thinking of you!

MJ, I wanna go on record here for all the other members of this blog. Yes, all 12 of them.
ReplyDeleteI've been lazy, neglectful, and the one that keeps me up at night--a bad nephew. From here out, I pledge the following:
1. an increase in pictures of portly kids
2. awesome-er writing
3. more love ballads in my "korean top 40"
4. and most importantly to the concern of my physical health (specifically my behind)-- punctual responses to louslim's comments.
