When Normal Knives Just Don't Cut It

"I swear it's not a weapon, officer - I just use it to cut watermelon!"

Rooftop

Today during my break I went up to the roof of a new building in the city. The peace and quiet was amazing, and the heat and sun were great. Here's a glimpse of the great view:

I Rode to Iksan!

(That isn't me in the picture, by the way. But I was snapping a shot of the view from the station and this was too fitting to pass up!)

Excitement on the Edge of Daeya

This has got to be the funniest valentine I have ever gotten.
