Something About Ceramics
This past Saturday I went to The 3rd World Ceramic Biennial in Icheon and The 8th Royal Ceramics Festival in Gwanju. Some friends from church and I tagged along with another English church in Daejeon. It was a good time but freaking hot. If you can wait for a good three and a half minutes the video on the right side of the page should start up. Venus had the best time of all. Before I left my apartment I put on a new role of toilet paper. When I got home I thought I had been robbed: my entire apartment was covered in toilet paper. Venus was sleeping in a big pile of it in the middle of the kitchen. I emptied two squirt guns on her that night. I put the pictures from the festival at this address: http://www.mikepeacock.com/ceramic_festival/

The pictures are great Mike, but what is the guy with the chopped off head? Looks rather alien like. Did you not take pictures of the toilet paper incident? Did not realize that you had t.p over there.

I haven't looked at the pictures yet, but I'm going to get Catticus a roll of paper towel for Christmas. She goes nuts when I leave one laying about. I spent one night picking bits of shredded white stuff out of my bed last month.
Janice- That's why you should use "Head and Shoulders."
Linda- You didn't think we had toilet paper here?
Linda, (and Mike) believe it or not, in the 'old days' of Korea, instead of paper, families strung a rope from the outhouse to the main house. after doing their business, the person would straddle the rope, and walk home ~ flossing their butt clean in the process. I'm not joking. We found it out at a FolK Village.
Mike.. did you not send us email pictures of holes in the floors that you used for toilets? I did not see tp dispensers then.... not sure what you did for tp, not sure I wanted to know.

There are still SOME "toilet holes" but most are regular toilets now. With a lot of public toilets you have to get your toilet paper before you walk into the stall. The gross thing is that most places also don't want you flushing the paper; they have a plastic bucket behind the toilet that you put your used t.p. .
