Welcome, Manners, Way to go Korea
Oh my there is so much to learn and remember. Much of Friday's information was for practical use and to help us understand what we see and hear on this trip.
Friday's activities were all on the Yonsei University campus. It was orientation day and most of us were feeling the loss of time. We walked into the lecture hall and were greeted by representatives of KSW and Yonsei University. We were presented with a packet of information and materials...
Let me just tell you, a 13 hour plane ride is an experience to be avoided at all costs. Not that the service wasn't great, because it was. Not because the food sucked, because it was the best airplane food I've ever had. No, more so just because 13 hours is way too much time for your brain to think up reasons why you should never have left in the first place and how horrible your experience is going to be. But for me, the worst part of the plane ride happened before we even left the ground. S...

... pay for my apartment, and I'll be free to visit Kyushu a couple of times a month for weekend breaks! Also, it means that I will be in a perfect location to conduct a job search in Japan further down the line, with no risk involved as I'll still be employed.<br><br>Alas, it's great to have a plan in place, and I am now genuinely excited about going home for Christmas and New Year! It's going to be great catching up with everybody after so long...<br><br> <br><br>
Seoul, Seoul, Korea Rep. rich... military action. This will keep you on top.<br><br>Step 4: Ensure that the masses are unaware of your plot to control the world. Give them cable TV with as many channels as possible, DVD players, designer homes, great food, and most importantly ensure that you control the mainstream media. Make sure the lives of celebrities and the troubles that they have (that are in no sense different than those of your neighbors) dominate the front pages of newspapers and mainstream media ...
Uijeongbu, Korea Rep. morpheous... With Ania beginning her lectures that week I had plenty of free time, and decided to visit the War Memorial Museum to brush up on my Korean history, particularly regarding the Korean War in the 1950s. This was a giant museum, with three levels covering Korean history, The Korean War and the Korean presence in UN missions abroad. There were also plenty of killing technologies on show, ranging from rocks and arrows right up ...
Seoul, Seoul, Korea Rep. will... goes from near my apartment down along the Han River, and over to the mountains. Its about a 3 mile loop and I love running it! So, I joined the gym, began running, and reading and eating well and doing all those things I should have been doing all along. I've been able to listen to almost all of Justin's baseball games online, which makes me feel so much closer to home! I'm an ...
Hanam-si, Gyeonggi, Korea Rep. heatherann... didn't. We were separated for a good amount of time but through our ingenuity we figured what the most logical thing each of us would do. So in the end, we were fine. <br> My aunt and her daughter waited for us at the station. It was around midnight when we got back to the apartment. She cooked us a lot of food since we forgot to eat after Burger King. It's going to a very sore morning when we wake up. Until the new day ends, JP out.
Seoul, Seoul, Korea Rep. azianshrimp... water plunge pool, a steam room, a dry sauna, a jet pool and far infrared lights. The steam room and dry sauna are lined with charcoal and amethyst crystals, which are known for their healing and cleansing properties. It was so relaxing and rejuvenating. Women just hang out and bath together and I've become a big fan! The gym that I joined has a jimjilbang included in the membership, so I've been going everyday after work now too. I've also been ...
Seoul, Korea Rep. truddickThe week leading up to Valentine's Day was a curious one to say the least, but at least it confirmed something that I had suspected for a while...one of my co-workers is bonkers! It all started on Thursday when the nokjiwon six had a meeting, which was quite common so nothing to get unduely worried about. However, what followed was a ridiculous monologue from one of the head teachers, which to this day I have no clue as to it's content and/or purpose ...
Seoul, Korea Rep. rich... on the continent of Asia. Mrs. Weber: Right. You're from different countries, but if I say, "You're from Asia," how do you feel? Kimura: Well, I don't think I feel angry, but I don't think I feel good either. Mrs. Weber: Exactly! It's the same for people who live on the American continent. Of course, they live on the same continent, but they live in different countries of America. So, it can be disrespectful if we call United ...
