... to find primarilly western practitioners. It is a blessing to have a reprieve from language struggles so I take advantage of their language skills to have enlightening conversations with a couple of the resident masters. These two one-hour conversations are why I was lead to Korea. Weary of travel, chilled by the rain and cool mountain air, and also having been exposed to a virus being passed around, I succumb to an upper resperatory infection the day after my arrival.

There weren't many tourists there either, so it made for a tranquil experience... Less tranquil was the hike that I subsequently embarked upon, which was relentlessly steep. It was my first real workout for a long time, and it was a struggle! However, after a ...

... a university cafeteria, does seem high. So, with regular meals once again the chances of loosing more weight are slim, which is good. However, as it is Korean food the chances of gaining weight are even slimmer. Maybe the westernised breakfast they will start dishing up once the teachers arrive in a week will help. Maybe. Maybe not. · Get a haircut We're still getting messages from our adoring public. No more complements mind you, just a pretty blunt message that ...

... have to take pictures and argue about whose fault it is. It basically means a mess for traffic.<br><br>Because of construction, accidents and simply heavy traffic many people drive scooters. These allow people to zig and zag through the traffic easier. Even though it is more difficult for cars to cut to the front it is possible. If there is a white line for where the traffic should stop for a red light, most people stop there. However, 2 or 3 people at least will pull ...
