Learning to Fly (Paragliding Lessons 1 and 2)
Ah... there's nothing quite like running around in empty parking lots and fields in the hot sun with a Korean guy yelling at you and making you feel worthless. What's even better is after you cover your arms with bruises from the risers, get yelled at ...
You've heard of the engagment dog...
... week old Ragdoll seal bi coloured king who was bred in New Zealand and is now waiting to be old enough to fly to us here in Korea! We have planned a minibreak to Seoul to do some sight seeing and pick him up on April 1st, and I am beside myself with ...
Picnic on Anmin-kogae

Birthday
If any one ever told me I'd be celebrating my 25th birtday in Korea, I'd call them a liar. Good thing I didn't place any bets against it. I have a tendency to mostly down-play my birthday. I don't know when or why exactly, but it mostly just feels like ...

Massage Mishap
I won't go into much detail, but if a masseuse heats up a glass and wants to put it on your back... RUN. Run for your life! I have 22 big, round "hickies" on my back and it currently hurts more than it did before I had the massage. Not my week. ...

An open letter to the Republic of Korea
... that you can keep hiding from me. If I haven't found out about it - I will... so just drop the act. It's not that I'm mad at you, Korea... I'm just disappointed. I thought we could be friends... and honestly it's not too late. Let's work it ...
