New Kukje Hotel Seoul

... Hwanggeumjeong. Unfortunately, the restaurant signage was only written in Hangul. Fortunately, I've been learning to read Hangul (a little bit) and I found the restaurant! We went in side, and it turned out to be a traditional sit down place, so we removed our shoes at the door, as is good etiquette. Then we sat on the floor at the low table. We ordered pork ribs, which were then brought out raw and cooked on the open grill in the middle of ...

... to exert myself on this evening. Screen golf, is where you are in a room with real golf club and you hit a ball down a fairway projected onto a screen in front of you. A laser tells the computer where your ball would've gone and it appears on the screen. It's actually fairly accurate, although I maintain those balls I hit out of bounds were hit perfectly straight and who are you to argue with me because ...

... him, he's pretty good at getting those miracles. So with his first ball he knocked down all 10 pins, but I was still ahead of him. That is until the second ball he knocked down 10 more. I think he'd passed me at that point, but just to show off, he went ahead and bowled one more strike with his last ball. So I will have to be satisfied with beating everyone else we bowled with, and keep training for the day that I will beat Justin again ...

... a chase movie then. Finally, we were able to escape by jumping this really huge waterfall or dam (I think it was a dam) and the pursuer didn't want to jump it.


I'm planning on going skydiving soon, so I think that's why I dreamt the end that way. Surprisingly, I wasn't that afraid of jumping. I hope that's the case when I go skydiving! I doubt it. Very much.


But I can also interpret the rest ...

... will impact Korean culture.

In the 16th – 17th Centuries, Westerners came to Korea. By the 19th Century, Catholicism was brought to Korea by Koreans and westerners who had adopted it in China. The Catholic movement was people led and Catholic priest did not come to Korea until the 1860s, early Imperialist Era.

It is during that time that the first Korean – American War took place followed by Korean – Japanese problems. These ...

So, this may quite possibly be only the second or third time I have done something touristy since I have been living in Seoul. I am FINALLY getting around to seeing some of this cool stuff.
Okay, well let me start with saying the 63 Building is definitely not worth all the hype. 63 Building seems to be Koreans favorite tourist attraction to talk about. I believe it is the tallest building in Korea. How many floors does it have? Come on ...

... You're going to have to hit me first") driving if they are to get anywhere, and because it is a way of life they don't bother getting emotional about it. But if you don't have a car, and you don't want to spend on a taxi, or you just want to avoid all this headache, the best way to get around is by subway . It's a great escape from the terrible air pollution (In a city of millions, CO2 is bad ...

... bit more, but it's simply not in her nature. The only positive about having precious little sleep and a hectic Friday was that the weekend would be a relaxing affair as a result... The actual teaching went pretty well, mainly because most of the Korean teachers were not in attendance - just the three who also teach the nokjiwon students. Again, I felt I'd achieved a moral victory here - if i wouldn't have objected, the whole department would have been present like last time, and they'd ...

... yet. To correct the mistake, the customs agent simply wrote over the form in black marker the correct year. Had this mistake happened in India, we would have been brushed off to the side, questioned, and asked to do the form over again. Our first couple of days in Seoul have been low key. One of our first priorities was to shop for winter clothes. Long underwear and gloves were needed right away to combat ...

... s a good thing he wasn't Korean, otherwise I might have become rather rapidly disenchanted with the place. I tried to ignore him, then tried to tell him politely that I was not interested. Neither approach had the desired effect. Finally, after ten minutes of being polite, I lost my cool quite impressively. I turned on the rotten sod and yelled at the top of my lungs "**** the hell off and leave me alone you stupid prat! And if you ever call me baby again, I swear ...
