Yeongpyeong Boarding Trip
Ever think back to what city was competing against Vancouver for the 2010 Olympics? Well I sure didn't until this year when I went snowboarding in Korea. The city/mountain is called Yeongpyeong (please don't mistake this for Pyeongyang which is a bit different Korean city). It's the best ski resort in Korea and it was our destination for the weekend getaway.
Sungku's friend found a great deal on a package trip. Transportation (3 hours each way), lift, rental, and a room all for 80,000 Korean Won (about $90 cdn). It was going to be my second time on a board this year and it was going to be fun.
'Course we were leaving on Saturday so we thought we would just chill Friday night. No dice. Ended up telling ourslves we were going to just get a few drinks and be back home relatively early to get some sleep. Instead, I'm getting a call my Sungku at 5:00 in the morning saying WTF is up we have to leave in 20 mins. So after pulling my buddy fromthe grips of a girly we jumped in the cab, made it home, packed in 3 mins and was back in another taxi by 5:45. Made it with about 3 minuets to spare even...and to think Sungku was worried. Needless to say I can't remember much of the bus ride 'ceot the first turn.
We got our rentals from a ski shop about 10 mins off the moutain. There were great and shuttled us right to the foot of the slopes. The slopes were soso to be positive. Mighty windy and was snowing a bit too.
Didn't ruin our day though and we made the most of it. Got worried about 2 hours in when after a solid bail I found the plastic on my right bindings broken. Good thing for cell phones and a Korea friend as we mae a call and had a new board and bindings delivered by the time I chugged my way to the bottom.
The room was freakishly hot and without a thermostat there were certain places on the floor that it was literally to hot to even touch. Was dry and I woke up a sore throat and tonsils (which I'm stll fighting today), but it was all well worth it. Hopefully gonna make it up once more before the season is over.

If , perhaps you want to bypass a proxy server, be it while at work or at school, you have two options open up to you. The first is straight forward and easy and involves only your web browser. The second is a bit more complex but could be necessary if the first solution does not deliver.
Should you be lucky enough, bypassing the proxy at your work or school may be as simple as disabling it in your web browser. Check the internet connection settings of your web browser and check to see if the proxy server details are put in place in your web browser. Whenever they are, try to disable them and connect to online again. Many timesthat with some luck the proxy server is disabled but you are now able to access the web normally.
Many schools or offices block specific websites (such as social networking or classified sites) and furthermore this is usually why you may have trouble accessing them. They did this usually with the goal of stopping students or employees from wasting valuable time online visiting unproductive websites. However, your school or office does not and cannot block the entire internet. Instead they block specific websites determined by their site link. Therefore, you are free to access a proxy server which then redirects your connection to your desired website allowing you to access the blocked website even from work or school.
To bypass a proxy server, first check to see if your web browser at work or school is setup to access the proxy. Disable it and try again. As a last resort, you may need to setup your own elite proxy in order to access websites while at work or school.
