... complex. Museum 1, designed by Swiss architect Mario Botta, housed Korean artifacts such as celadon and porcelain pottery dating back to the era of the three kingdoms, as well as Buddhist paintings, historic bronze sculptures, and jewelery found inside ancient tombs. The exterior was made of terra cotta to complement the porcelain inside. I was very impressed with what I saw in here, not simply because of the artifacts, but the ...

... sheer curiosity and a new beginning. <br><br>Tonight I went to a concert to which my principle must be a behind the scenes donor of sorts. It was quite nice to be mesmerized by the beautiful voices of the men and women performing. I ran into Rachael a grade one student of mine and her mom who were also there. They had been to Alberta for 5 weeks a little while ago. As I spoke with her mom and asked of their trip she commented on how beautiful it is ...

... that it was very different from those back home. Absolutely no vegetarian food to begin with, an almost non-existant merchandise stall, but other stalls selling perfume, and promoting Doc Martins and other ranges of clothing.<br><br>The Potbelleez, an Irish due now performing as a band and based in Sydney, were the first major act on stage, and they certainly didn't disappoint. I liked their album, particularly the singles, but the live show was fantastic, with the DJs ...

... so we stayed inside and then ventured out in the afternoon, mainly to find where we had to get the bus in the morning! On the way we saw a lot of men on motorbikes, piling them up with carpets and other packages, no idea how they managed to ride them!! We decided we had to try the traditional Korean food so had bbq pork which ended up coming with chilli shredded salad, noodles that weren't actually noodles, some creme caramel/tofu creation and a bunch of lettuce leaves. Only ...

... two I asked to learn how to say specially for Chandler and myself &lt;3!<br>After class we had lunch in the Yonsei U cafeteria again.  The food was pretty good- always something new to try- or to turn your nose to!  Today there was this dish with tiny little fish in it, like the size of guppies, and they had this sauce with them.  I did not try them~ I know, I know~ I just couldn't make myself.  Although, during my home stay, if I am given anything like this, I ...

... and DH for lunch. My dining-out group consists of two Koreans (one man and one woman) and me (a white girl). I think I told you that morning that we were going out for Uzbekistanian food. The restaurant had been featured in one of the top English newspapers so we trusted the review and headed out. We finally found the restaurant down a cramped alley a neighborhood full of Eastern Europeans. There were hardly any Korean signs at all. Everything was in Russian, or Czech ...

... Taj Mahal in India. Nothing spectacular about it. Or so I thought. <br><br> Then came an invitation to attend an international gathering in one of the cities in Korea. I don't know what got into me but I was suddenly curious about the country's history after coming across some interesting stories about it. As the trip to Korea neared, I kept hoping that our hosts would tour us to Gyeongbokgung or to some other ...

... is a chain store and is everywhere, but I haven't seen it until today! This is the place that made the cake at one of the kindergartener's school birthday the other day. Koreans love potato cake! It is wonderful! I think mashed potatoes are in the cake batter, but there are also chunks of sweet potato in the cake. The frosting is freshly whipped cream, lightly sweetened...but soooo good. They also put a strawberry whipped cream on top to decorate the ...

... and I started applying to schools. There are many more reasons at work, both personal and professional. Q: I thought you were all into Japan. Why aren't you going to Japan? A: Right now the waitlist to go over to Japan with all the schools and programs I applied to is about 7 months. Plus, the benefits package isn't quite as good and there's a far greater risk of ending up in the far-flung provinces (raise your hand if you think I could ...
