Misty Mountains and Little Brown Soldiers
This is a top pick! ... buses, some 90 foreigners in all, and waiting outside my bus, I chattered absently with a tour guide, distracted by the North Korea soldier standing a few metres away, and mesmerized by the portrait of Kim Il Sung--still head of state 12 years after his ...
Hiking In The Hermit Kingdom
This is a top pick! ... foreign investment in North Korea, Hyundai's Kumgangsan tourist region is one of Pyongyang's highest currency generators. Despite North Korea's devout anti-American sentiment, the US dollar rules in Kumgangsan. Whisked from the hotel compound and onto a ...
Dark Side Of The Earth
This is a top pick! ... visit to the DMZ and the hiking tour of Kumgangsan, the next stop is Pyongyang. Why am I so fascinated by North Korea? I'm not ideologically sympathetic. I find Kim Jong il and his regime repellent. It's more about my own curiosity and desire to know. ...
Don't Count Your Luck
This is a top pick! ... couriered my passport to the travel agent within an hour. There are times when I truly appreciate being in a country like Korea, where crimes like theft are relatively rare. In another country this story might not have had such a happy conclusion. I ...
Encounter With The Kims
This is a top pick! We honestly thought nothing of it, even though we probably should have. The mural looked warm and inviting, so harmless and fascinating, exposed as it was under bright lights in the dark evening, and we were drawn to it like moths to a flame. Aside from ...
Seoul Food
This is a top pick! Not much to tell about the layover accept we had the soup again. We are going to have to plan a trip to Korea soon. The airport is just not ...
Take a slow boat to China
This is a top pick! After staying in Seoul for a while, this is a tiny harbor city. However, we have the best meal ...
This soup has Seoul
This is a top pick! We are sitting in the Seoul airport. We went to our favorite restaurant here in the airport. It took us a while to find it. We had only been to it once when we were here during a layover to China. Of course we had the soup. It still gave us that feeling ...
seoul
This is a top pick! The Korean people had obviously read my discouraging comments about China and to ensure a positive review100,000 of them lined the streets in red shirts to celebrate our arrival. If that left us slightly bemused, we spent 25minutes trying to find the ...
The chicken and the folk village
This is a top pick! Quiet small , host robert with lovely airconditioned ...
Look! A dog on the ground!
This is a top pick! You know you've been in Korea too long when the call "Look! A dog on the ground!" actually makes you turn and look. It would seem the Paris Hilton phenomenon has leeched into the country's consciousness like poison into the village well. All the young ...
The Big Wet
This is a top pick! ... through water a couple of feet deep to get from point A to point B is not the most appealing of prospects considering Korea never really got around to building a sealed sewerage system, and the fact that the filth one usually tries to avoid stepping in ...
McDonald Flavoured Underpants
This is a top pick! ... big bottle guy and I'll post it on here as soon as I get a copy. With promises to all get together in Itaewon - Korea's entertainment hub - on Friday night, we all started making our way home. I actually managed to find my way from Downtown Seoul back to ...
Seoul - Day 137-139
This is a top pick! ... the walk around the complex. I've visited many traditional Japanese buildings when I was there in 2005 and the architecture in Korea is very similar to the untrained eye. The Korean's would probably disagree. After leaving the palace I headed to the ...
Seoul & DMZ (North Korea Border) - Day 140
This is a top pick! ... The tunnel was hand dug through the gratnite bed rock 75 metres underground by the North Koreans. The tunnel penetrated into South Korea by many hundreds of metres before being discovered. It's said that 10000-15000 troops could pass through the tunnel ...
Jeju Island (Seongsan-Ilchulbong) - Day 142
This is a top pick! The buses on Jejo are cheap, efficient and frequent and the routes go to all the major tourist sites on the island. So I caught the bus again today to a town called Seongsan Ilchulbong, where a 182 metre high extinct volcanic crater sits on the east ...
Happy Birthday Buddah
This is a top pick! ... this country and forcing kids to stop speaking their own language, especially when they misinterpret the rule and run around saying "No Korea!" It's a little cringe-worthy, but it's a rule their parents want enforced. Whatever. They are soaking it up like ...
Korean War Memorial
This is a top pick! I forgot to tell about our final camp class performance...the pictures didn't turn out, but apparently it was pretty good as we did the Creation Fashion Show! Our class did the story of creation with a twist, as a fashion show, so for two weeks we ...
Jeju Island (Hallasan & Jeju-Si) - Day 143
This is a top pick! Caught another bus to Hallasan national park today. Mount Hallasan is 1950 metres above sea level and is the largest mountain in South Korea, it sits bang in the middle of Jejo island and is now extinct, I hope! The plan was to head to the ...
The 20 night wait, Part I
This is a top pick! ... beginning to feel a lot like Christmas · Korean Bathhouse I went to the bathhouse today, my first time on this visit to Korea. It's always an enjoyable experience (assuming you can get over the nudity aspect of the visit) and lying sweating in one ...
A strange Christmas
This is a top pick! ... at this stage we're dreaming of a white New Year. Hey Canada, any chance you can send over some snow? Jochiwon, Korea. Thanks. · Sweet Timing is indeed everything. Yesterday, 4pm Christmas Eve, Meg took delivery of a parcel from Canada, a parcel we ...
Handong Global University
This is a top pick! ... with him...mostly to the delight of Scott himself, but also a few others!! ;) Afterwards, Scott, Barry, and I hit a sauna, which are supposed to be "can't-miss" in Korea, but I had been to many like it in Japan. It was nice but nothing ...
Checking in
This is a top pick! ... We are of the impression that sticking to a schedule is somewhat of a challenge for the company the students work for (Korea Express, a Korean logistics company... kind of ironic really). We were aware of a few camp schedule changes prior to getting to ...
The Deed Is Done
This is a top pick! ... here, shaving there. Do you think you'd ever see that level of trust in Ireland or Canada? No, didn't think so. · Only in Korea, part 2 Koreans get their hair cut and then they have it washed. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around, assuming ...
Last Days of Camp
This is a top pick! Camp wound down and it was an interesting experience being that I had heard such terrible things about Korea and its people...but I didn't really experience too much of what I had heard and think I will come back and teach at a uni here sometime next ...
It's All Uphill From Here
This is a top pick! · Jochiwon, South Korea · GMT +8:00 hours · Days until we finish camp - 32 · Days until we leave Korea - 37 The crude countdown timer you see above (yep, that's what those two lines are, okay?) will be an ever present feature capping the rest ...
