Chonil Hot Spring Hotel Busan

... day for them, I had no energy, and they were not listening. I gave up and said "OK, put everything away." Once they listened to that I turned off the lights and hit play on the CD player. As the scary Halloween music began to play some laughed and some were dead silent. I turned on the the lights and Time Warp came on and we danced around the classroom. Sally had a chuckle as she watched the whole event and even filmed it too. She told me some were scared of the Halloween noises. I'm ...

... Korean drunks chase scraggy looking Korean pigeons in the park. I however did not take up the guidebook's offer to visit the museum of musical instruments from around the world - it just sounded like more excitement than I could handle right then. And so having whiled away the nessisary hours, I got my backpack and headed off to the ferry terminal to catch my ferry to Jeju Island, very happy to be leaving Busan behind. <br><br><br><br>

... take you here to get your shopping fix in. Nampo Dong has all the goods--brand name stores, stalls, booths, street vendors, good food, street meat, and some cool sites as well. Nampo Dong is apparently the place to be on Christmas...at least everyone else thought so too. It was packed! The streets were decorated with lots of lights, it was chilly and crisp out, and there were singers in the plaza. We met my ...

... hated me for making them look silly. HA! There was me, dancing and singing for all 22 classes this week, with Tues-Thursday allowing only one break in the day... Oh man, no wonder I've been so tired this week, and that my voice is failing me. <br><br> <br><br> Last weekend, Kim took me to a nearby river park, just to get out, and walk around a little. It was really pretty, but it was cold. I have a few pictures of that ...

... In truth, it looked really old. It was a really beautiful temple complex though, and it was decorated really extravagantly for the festivities. The ambiance was really cool... People everywhere, drums, chanting, lanterns... Another really cool thing happening that day was that elementary school-high school students were invited to the temple to paint. Everywhere little artists had their easels set up, and were painting aspects of the temple--they were doing a really ...

... I just don't understand it. If there's one thing I accomplish here, it's going to be to give a few of these kids a self-esteem boost. <br><br>I guess my point is this: Sunshine provides your body with Vitamin D. Vitamin D helps your body regulate your emotions, and helps prevent depression. Maybe a little sunshine would do this country some good. But they all run inside scared and then when a 15 year-old gets a 91% on ...

... international ATM's are very hard to find here in Japan, you have to know where they are as they are usually tucked away in a back st post office or somewhere remote like that.) So Orla queued for the check in and Kieran went to change some US Dollars, but then we realised that they do actually take mastercard-we won! problem solved. So we checked in, went through immigration and boarded the boat, set to depart at 9am - Phew!! we ...

... needed to calm our nerves and so stepped into a local pub for a nice cold beer. One beer turned to a few and we found ourselves humming along to the CD they were playing - whilst K-Pop seems to mainly consist of songs that even Steps would be embarrassed to sing it is nonetheless very catchy and the tunes reminded us of the previous week. We asked the bar man for the name of the CD, after about 10 minutes he came back with the name of the song that had been playing ...
