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 ...
Busan to Seoul
Far be it for a Canadian to complain about the the cold; yet, I feel I should explain why Korean's experience a very bitter and harsh winter. Sitting in Todd's appartment, or rather lying on the floor, is wonderful. The undol style floor heats the entire ...
Late nights.
More interesting times. James is a magnet for interesting stuff happening. After taking a hike up short mountain today and a stroll through the exercise park in search of suitable anjuma candidates, we got pulled into an old man drinking circle. After ...
Riding Along the Coast
Riding on the back of someone else's bike quickly gets uncomfortable. I've often complained that a man's body isn't meant to stretch that way for that long... this is reason enough that I need to get my own bike - and soon! Still it's always nice to ...
Új szobatársam / My new roommate :-)
Hahaaaaa! Véletlenül fedeztem fel ma délután egy kirakatban. Ott ült és rám várt egy igazi koreai TV-dráma sztárja: 돼지토끼, azaz a malac orrú nyuszika :-)) Azonnal kifizettem a "gázsiját" és már mentünk ...
Homeless in Seoul, Livin' at the airport
... really relaxing. Then, no meal. Just a smoothie of sorts and a protein bar I had along. It's hard being vegetarian in Korea. Everything has fish sauce in it! The coffee bar in the rest area is great. I felt like I was in the ...
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 ...
On Teaching... and Being Taught
... to say this than it is to live it and therein lies the cause of the cultural friction mentioned above that so many foreign teachers in Korea can identify with. Whether or not the system is right (or even if this can be determined) we, as foreigners are ...
My Work
I work at a Canadian School, but all my students are Koreans from Korea. Although I'm not Canadian, this school pays better than most. It holds the Canadian name because of the curriculum. There are 10 foreign teachers at my school--7 Canadians, 1 ...
My Students
Aside from the bureacracy, my job is great. The kids are an absolute joy, even the rascally ones. I teach a kindergarten class M-F from 10:00am-3:00pm. I have 7 boys and 1 girl. Here are some of them in action. We give them English names for ...
Jeff and Jan come to Korea
... last four hours we had spent with John Kim and his granddaughter. What a great first impression of the people of Korea. So friendly and welcoming! We grabbed some wine and cheese and had MJ and Nina over at the Mariott before ...
On respire enfin
Re bus pour la montagne, quel programme elle m'a prepare Charin.. tout bon Grosse rando. On marche un bon 7h aujourd'hui pour atteindre le refuge, ambiance montagne en plein dedans, avec les couleurs de l'autome dans l'un des plus beau parc ...
Picnic on Anmin-kogae
... animals you will see we met was a dirty dog manning the military look-out and of course a token jacket wearing teacup dog. Ah Korea! The view points out why Changwon is the 'back-up' Seoul, in case it ever fell to the North (or any other ...
Incheon
13 April Well, it was a little like a dream; I was on the plane to Egypt. The plane was a 777-200 with a 2-5-2 (seating plan) with us on the right hand window side. Alex and I (sitting) in front with Janine and Mikayla behind us. I ...
Huzzah!
Rejoice! Rejoice! Let your voice ring forth over the mountains, for the internet has finally been hooked up in my room! I do not have the words to explain how happy this makes me! So, I will now officially be available for chatting on Skype, ...
Snow
Well if you read my last entry where I was speaking of the cold it seems I was a little premature in publishing, if only I'd waited a few more hours I would have been able to talk about the snow. I was on the bus to the airport and we were a couple ...
Back in Seoul
Back in the grind... teaching again. ;) --- De vuelta al trabajo... a enseńar de nuevo. ...
1 nap alatt a világ körül / Aiins World
Sosem gondoltam volna, hogy 1 nap alatt is körbe lehet utazni a földet. Pedig lehet, közvetlen buszjárattal Szöulból (Songnae, 5-2)! Annyi helyet bejártam ma 25 országban: New York, Washington, Barcelona, Róma, London, Párizs, Moszkva, ...
The first few days in Daegu
I finished training! I even passed! Training was so hard. I kept thinking, "what was I thinking coming to Korea!" and I even thought death would be better than this, because I thought I was going to fail and that would be really humiliating. But luckily, ...
Westward Ho!
... . Onto the Beetle jetfoil and we are soon speeding across the sea. 3 hours later, the shape of Busan and South Korea looms outside the windows. After clearing customs, I head towards the Haeundae area and a highly recommended youth hostel. The gleeming ...
Dog Days
So I had originally only planned to stay the first night at the Bong House, and as such I hadn't reserved a bed for Saturday night. By the time I realized that I wanted to stay, the place was all booked up, so Mr. Bong graciously offered to let me ...
CIS and World cup
... and if both win USA and Korea will play each other next and that would just be so exciting since there are a lot of Americans in Korea, and a lot of Koreans J. In the classroom I was given, there was a lot of random stuff in there. Not too random, there ...
Fontossági sorrend / Setting priorities
... on my scale. I'm a diligent student and will surely finish both, but if I have to set priorities..... sorry Mr Benjamin Franklin, you've lost! :-) I've also made some new friends in Korea, it was soooo nice to talk to you guys!!! Thank ...
Daze of Ambition
Yo yo. A couple of relatively slow days so far, which is fine by me. Yesterday we basically slept all day and watched some crappy movies on TV. Today was a bit more exciting, but not too much. Got up late, changed some money, got laundry together; ...
korean local elections
It is local election time in Korea. Never seen anything like it. Campagining strategies differ from that in the West. Candidates drive a decorated truck around the neighborhood while broadcasting their ads by loud speaker. Some trucks are fully ...
Peace and Quite PLEASE!!!
Ahhhhhhhhhh! I can't wait to go home and wake up to the sound of absolutely nothing. I can't remember the last time I woke up, and it was quite. Today, the sound of a drill. Other days, it's usually the guy riding around in his truck selling stuff (Which ...
