... work tonight (at 8pm), it was still sunny outside! I saw sunny skies for the first time on a weeknight since I arrived in South Korea! What brought about this tidal wave of self-love, you might ask? Well, today I had to teach an open class. ...

Here we go now...
... was. Then there were the thin ribbons of clouds, and it looked as if the sky were throwing me a “Welcome to Korea” party. Finally, there were the large bubbles of clouds off in the distance which had me wondering if they were real ...
So...Why Did You Choose Korea?
... realized just how much cleavage I showed on a regular basis until I moved here. The definition of "cleavage" here in Korea seems to extend to include anything below the collar bone. Therefore, what I would have considered pretty modest back ...

Parting Shots
... leave until 6PM, but I happily checked out at noon and headed for the airport. Once again, I want to praise South Korea's Incheon Airport. It was recently selected the best airport in the world from two different sources and has held this spot ...
Men shouldn’t wear bright red shorts

Great Place to stay

What NOT to do in a Foreign Country.
... . Like as I was walking to the grocery store on Sunday, I was suddenly and unexpected surrounded by a mob of older Korea women, rapidly shooting Korean at me. At this point in time, I was thrilled that my spending hours last Saturday trying to ...

Seeing Seoul with Yun Hui
Poor Yun Hui - she came in search for me at the hotel as arranged. I saw her walk in, not knowing it was her but thinking, could that be Yun Hui? I waited – she waited. I walked in to the first floor and checked. No ...

My campus in Songdo seems like a pretty small one to me. There are only eight teachers! I'm not really sure how that compares to other schools. Maybe it just feels smaller because everyone already knows each other. Heck, half of them are married ...
Welcome to Seoul - Now what is your temperature?
... for Seoul. 14 hours, a touch-screen personal TV, one inflight medical emergency, and three "delicious" meals later, we were in Incheon. In addition to filling out the normal immigration forms in flight, I noticed one extra, asking me about if I had ...

Seoul and some of the people we know
We finally went to Seoul this Saturday, and it was great. I can't wait to go back and spend more time in each neighborhood. We ate at a western-style restaurant that actually had pumpkin soup! Jen and I were pleased. Jen and Luke gave ...
Food Superlatives

small successes
So far, we are making it pretty well here. Our first two days of teaching were a little (well, a lot) confusing but fun! Keith and I both love the students. One kid, Kevin, who wears his taekwondo outfit every day, is especially cute. He is very small, ...
Disorientation
... apartment monoliths, all covered in bizarre Hangul script, and full of those mysterious Koreans. The plane from Sydney to Seoul-Incheon was basically a Korean plane. The staff and most of the passengers were Korean, Korean was the language of choice, ...
