... tower was just 26000 (about $24). The set lunch consisted of a choice from four main dishes and then a buffet of traditional side dishes and noodles, etc. My choices at lunch were pork, pork, pork and boiled fish. I went with the pork ribs with red chili sauce. Not a big ribs person by nature, but the meat was fall of the bone and I know that's pretty good. Other highlights from the meal were a delicious pumpkin salad and a mushroom and tofu soup.<br><br ...

... actually we did order too much). We took our time eating and enjoying the Korean food, but then decided that we only had half an hour left and we hadn't been to the folk museum that we also paid to see. Unfortunately, there were actually two museums and we went to the folk museum rather than the actual museum. Overall, the experience was OK. I guess most traditional folk/aboriginal/ethnic minority villages are pretty similar so having ...

... elves, because let's face it, my little angels will be much cuter as pointy eared elves than grumpy old dwarfs. I decided to fix the roles contrary to the random draw that they are supposed to be. There is no way that a student who can't really speak well will be able to carry the role of a main character. So simply put, I assigned the roles yesterday. Here's how it went down:<br><br>"OK here we go boys and girls! Max looks like you be Bilbo ...

... s guard locations.<br><br>Even the rivers and bridges have blocks with dynamite in case of invasion they can cut off Seoul from an attack. I think the saddest thing is that 2 years ago when relations were good between the north and south, the south built a train station to link the two parts of the country. But since then there has been political unrest and the station is completely abandoned. No trains, no people. Just a bunch of tourists taking photos ...

... to deliver my creation this time, and talk with the future wearers of the shoes!  This way I will be certain my message is delivered.<br>Later we ate at the Yonsei U cafeteria and I had the best meal my whole time here- a more flavorful chicken soup with more vegetables- it was scrumptious!<br>Then we had a lecture on the relationship between the United States and Korea, but most of the time we talked about North Korea.  Our professor began the lecture with background ...

... that bowing is just nodding your head? Not in Korea. To bow - a person is to give a deep bow from the upper back 45 degrees with eyes down. Hands are just below the waist with one hand over the other. If you are a woman, your right hand goes over the left while it is reversed for males. But wait &#8211; that is not all to this sign of greeting and respect. Who initiates the bow may depend on your place and society and is tied to polite speech. <br> <br ...

... veggies, tofu and noodles. I really just spent the weekend wandering around, familiarizing myself with the area. I found a nice running path along the river. I located a couple gyms, but I think I'll need a Korean speaker with me before I attempt to join. Given the national obsession with learning English, I'm surprised at how few people actually speak it. Of course, it could also be the area I'm in, as I'm living in a suburb of Seoul (Anyang City ...

Ever heard of Gyeongbokgung?<br><br>For years, it was old Korea's seat of power and culture and home to one of its most enduring dynasties, with its sprawling courtyards and pavilions as memorable settings of large state gatherings and royal banquets, its massive halls and sprawling grounds mute witnesses of the atrocities perpetrated by the country's Japanese tormentors.<br><br> Today, it's a magnificent historical must ...

... right?!?! The rest of me is usually pretty healthy. Oh, and I am pretty sure I am already fatter! I need to join a gym as soon as I get my first pay check too! Ahhhh! My kids say "awsa!!!" when they think something is "awesome!" hahhhha! I think it is so funny! I had to become very strict this week. I discovered that I was too friendly the first week so they thought I was more of a friend than an authority figure. So...this week I started giving homework on ...

Though complicated on paper, the trip to Taiwan was fairly easy. We were booked by priceline on a Delta flight operated by Korean Air and connecting in Seoul to an EVA air flight to Taipei. Despite the complexities, all we needed to do was show up at Chicago's international terminal, say as little as possible to the staff at check-in about our badly-oversized bags and our lack ...
