Fraser Suites Serviced Residences Insadong Seoul

Twelve hours in Seoul. I had a limited amount of time but I managed to hit Namdaemun market, Changdok Palace, Biwon garden, Seoul tower, and Insadong market street with its old school charm.<br><br>I walked everywhere, again getting lost and running into cool sights, taking pictures and enjoying the brisk air and fall colours. The temperature was about 10 - 15 degrees colder than where I was in the last 4 months but it was better than I expected ...

... intoxicated he popped the question. I explained that I was not unhappy with my status but that I need a break...a big one. He countered with a appealing vacation package to which I paused and then continued with my commitment to move on. He offered me a job at his school in China to which I considered briefly and then we drank some more. It's a big step for me, though not reversible, a big step. It really is dawning on me how very soon I'll ...

... br><br>Quite satisfied with our meal, we went back to Bongs to have a rest because we wanted to go to the night time Dongdaemun market. We left at about 12:45am and managed to catch the last train there. When we got there, it was not as crowded as we had expected. In fact, we didn't see many crowds at all, probably it was because of Chuseok, but maybe not. That damn holiday is ruining our holiday I swear! We went to a converse store because I ...

... China, but not quite as crowded or congested from traffic. People still sell stuff on the streets. No one speaks much English. But, there seem to be a lot of foreigners in the city. (Read white people). First stop after arriving at the hostel (which was sorely misrepressented on their website); was Insadong. It's a shopping, pedestrian area. Our friend took us to a Korean restaurant and ordered for us. Good stuff, she was even nice enough to pay the bill. Will return the favor next time ...

... escapes my hole detection and I wear it to school. But today was a day of joy as a package of "Old clothes are new clothes" arrived from mom and dad. Now I can look the part of a well funded teacher. The Blue Jay class sang the Wheels on the Bus yesterday and I feel they did a pretty good job. My colleagues had a chuckle as my hips swayed back and forth as I did "the wipers on the bus go SWOOSH SWOOSH. Everyone has bad days. A ...

April 24, 2009.<br><br><br><br>Arriving in South Korea I am wondering how many people do speak English? I still don't know because many of them do, but don&#8217;t have the confidence to speak it with a fluent foreigner. Some just know optional words as there are many restaurants, shopping centers and bakeries with English names. However, I find it actually easy to get around ...

... find him drinking with four Korean stunners - the old dark horse! We ended up drinking lots of soju, and I enjoyed winding the girls up about the Hula Hoops that are always supplied on the table. For some reason, there are always a few random green ones included, and I had them worried that eating them would result in a bout of illness the next day! It was good fun... Naturally, we all went to the noraebang afterwards, and I did a duet with one of the girls, namely "Stand By ...

... I read his work the Freud in me tried hard to psychoanalyze if the student was harboring any latent anger toward his teacher. Then a bit of concern that this kid might have some sort of prophetic insight into my future and even if it is 1/3 as strong as some of my prophetic dreams there might be cause for alarm. Enough to keep me out of the ocean, not really. Now I'm going to go off on a tangent here but I met this really cool chick ...
