Arrived in Seoul, South Korea
WOW !! It's 2:20am west coast time, and we just arrived in Seoul. I have yet to change my watch to local time, which is 7:30pm. We have another 2 hours before we board the flight to Bangkok which is another 5:45 minute ...
We are in Korea!
... did great on the 14 hour flight but woke up this morning sick. I imagine the majority of it is fatigue and air-travel. Seoul is incredibly crowded and smoggy. We left Seoul early this morning for the area of Gyeongju and saw a number of fabulous ...

Saturday night, life is good.
Hi all... I finally have a computer in my house! I know it's a wee bit materialistic but it's oh so nice to be able to carry on normal daily activities with relative ease (i.e. pay bills, email, and such) And i took a few pictures for y'all so you can ...
Back home through South Korea
... to divert through South Korea, where I had to go out through customs and buy a new ticket to get to the U.S. South Korea's airport is very nice and the security lines and customs lines were extremely short. I was worried I wouldn't have enough ...
Changgyeonggung...long word
Smiley har faktisk et navn, han hedder Jung Hun. Idag tog Jung Hun med mig til et palads som faktisk ligger lige i naerheden, jeg vidste det bare ikke...smil. Det var lidt som at vaere sammen med Dave, vi tog en masse billeder og snakkede ikke ret meget ...
Seoul Stopover
... whne you want to watch it (those who have traveled overseas can understand this best)! Incheon, Korea's main international terminal is about an hour outside of Seoul so we took an airport bus (called airport limousine here) into Soeul. Chris, going ...
Flight LAX-ICN-BKK
... - interior pictures and a few from the exterior of the plane. It was really interesting watching us fly into Incheon Airport in Korea. I also put on a couple of map views from the screen on the seats. Monday - We crossed the international date line ...
És hopp! / Say kimchiiiiiiiii
Kéthetes intenzív nyelvtanfolyamunk ma ért véget, ennek örömére készítettünk is egy csoportképet magunkról. A záródolgozatot az utolsó órában írtuk, amikor már mindenki éhes és fáradt volt, de érzésem szerint jól sikerült. Suli ...
NBA Asia Challenge
... of the Park. It was an awesome experience! Following that we went to Itaweon which is the largest English speaking district in Korea. It's the main spot in Korea all the foreigners get together on the weekends. There are all kinds of foreign pubs, bars ...
Back here again??
... in December, and a week's just too damn short to go to Europe or the continental U.S. Somehow Korea ended up fitting the bill. Unlike with Denpasar, the Seoul-bound flights had plenty of vacancies, so in the very least, we'd be going somewhere. Well, ...
Insel Soakmo Do
... Euro-Kiesen-Zeit. Na ja wie schon erwähnt haben wir einen Tempel besucht. Man sagt, dass es einer der schönsten Tempel in Korea sein soll. Er war riesig und wirklich schön. Allerdings hat er mich an die Paläste in Seoul erinnert. Zumindest hatte er ...

Kids Say the Darndest Things
Teaching children lends itself to moments of, much needed, comic relief. I'll change the names for privacy's sake. One child says he was sick yesterday. Mike turns to him, "were you bomiting through the night?" Obvioiusly ...
Building Confidence
... . I went to a Korean restaurant and had a really good bean curd stew for lunch, which cost virtually nothing. Wherever I read that Seoul is expensive was totally wrong. After the lunch and subway excursion, jet lag started to hit me, so I headed back ...
Leaving Korea
It's been a while!!! I can't believe how time flies! I'm leaving Korea in 5 days and I am experiencing every emotion possible. But the one word that keeps coming out of my mouth is "weird". It's just weird. Over the past few months not much has ...
Akció a köbön / Troubleshooters
Végre sort kerítettünk egy eredeti koreai akciófilm megnézésére a Yongsan CGV moziban. Az angol felirat nagyon kellett hozzá, de egy másodpercnyi elmélázást sem engedett a történet. Akciójelenetek sokasága, kavargó ...
Die ersten Tage
... Neuseeland wieder zu sich eingeladen, um einen (oder auch mehrere) mit ihm zu trinken. An unserem gemeinsamen letzten Tag in Seoul haben wir uns den Elektronik Markt angeschaut. Das Wetter war auch wieder besser, die Sonne hat sogar geschien. Mehr haben ...
Tying the knot
... culture difference opened my eyes and made me appreciate the western way of tying the knot. Getting married in Korea... I will refrain from using the words bizarre, strange, and absolutely and flat out weird, to abstain from being ...
The Life and Seoul of the Party!(Seoul, Korea)
... up at 5) was really grumpy, so it put a damper in my trip. But I did the infamous DMZ tour (demilitarized zone) where I saw N. Korea to the distance, stood by one of those mean looking soldiers, and ate some so-so Korean food. The best part (to me...the ...
Téli félév / Winter semester started
Turbó üzemmódban zajlik az egyetemen a téli időszak, jövő héten már vizsgázunk 1 tárgyból. Közben előadást kell gyártani, házidolgozatot írni, naponta 30-40 oldal olvasnivalónk van... Esténként koreait tanulok, ...
Quick hey, and "remodeled" apt. pics
... can without being obliterated by rain coming in at 50mph. Needless to say, the umbrella business is alive and kickin' in South Korea...perhaps I should check into that as a side operation. Okay, that's about it for this one...once I actually get ...
Előszülinap / Pre-birthday party
Ma Szörcsikével Szöulban találkoztam, egyebek között nyalóka párbajt is vívtunk Anam állomás közelében! Szörcsike, Neked is sok boldog születésnapot kívánok! :-) ______________ Today I was meeting my friend *Slurp*! We had a nice time ...

The Monk and Guus Hiddink

A kocka el van vetve / Alia iacta est
A Rubik kocka, más néven bűvös kocka igenis magyar találmány! Mindig csodálattal néztem azokat, akik összekeverik a színeket, aztán hipp-hopp kiforgatják az eredeti állapotot. Miután beszereztem itt kint egy utánzatot (nehezen ...
Őrületek hegedűre / David Garrett
Ki tudja összekötni Mozartot, Michael Jacksont és az AC/DC-t? Ez a német-amerikai fiatalember biztosan. Félelmetesen hegedül!!! :-) Ld. lent. __________________________ Can you connect Mozart, Michael Jackson and AC/DC? This ...
Christmas in Korea plus adventures at Yongpyong
Well it wasn't officially a white Christmas but we had snow early in the week and there was still some unmelted snow on the ground on Christmas day so I was happy. Christmas was incredible here, the hotel put on a Christmas brunch for the ...
shopping: Gyeongdong Market
... some really good shabu-shabu (Japanese 'hot pot') with eapsi friends). Gyeongdong is one of the biggest oriental medicine markets in Korea, and has hundreds of little "shops" selling herbs, vegetables, meats, and spices. I mostly wanted to check out the ...
