Korea & Japan Adventure

I'm back from 2 weeks in Korea and Japan with my buddies from Ryerson, Dave and Matt. We traveled around a lot, ate wicked Asian food (and some wack chicken bladders), drank Biru and Soju and visited the tropical island of Jeju-Do where we got a hussler taxi man to drive us around the island for 20,000 Won a day ($20 Canadian!)
Check the video: I got to skate in the DMZ (the DeMilitarized Zone) - It's a no man's land between South and North Korea, its messed up, with land mines fields, tank traps, secret tunnels, there are no pictures allowed and crazy security everywhere, including South and North Korean troops, also some US and UN troops - but I managed to skate this one wall that was blocked from the guard tower by a tree for about 30 seconds - sketchy!
And, Dr. Fish rules, we need to get this in Canada! Nothing feels better on my old sore skateboarding feet then little Turkish fish eating the dead skin off.

Ingresh Version...Oh My God!
