Nongshim Hotel Busan

... Great Wall during my Beijing trip last winter. She was on the boardwalk doing a fundraiser for 'Habitat For Humanity' and I gladly helped the cause by splurging on some mid-afternoon beer. Hell, I even got a free round for doing a high-flying backflip from the boardwalrk down to the beach from these French-Canadian guys who work for Thales. They are in town to do work on the Busan Metro which will ...

... looked very out of place. I thought the wall wasn’t high enough to stand an invasion but otherwise it was really cool. After we got off, we walked along the wall to a watchtower. We climbed up and got a great view of the city. Finally we headed back to the trolley to go back. Then we went along the wall some more and saw another watchtower, a bell, a big monument, and a secret gate invisible to the enemy. All in all, it was a pretty cool wall.

... l*st b*se who I knew w*s on his w*y here. "Kolin", I yell. He turns tow*rds me, smiles *nd w*ves. He is rolling his b*gs behind someone in uniform. This tells me he JUST got in from th*t grueling 13-hour flight. Knowing he is going tow*rds the hotel himself, I decide to go to the front desk where he is inevit*bly going, *nd give him the number to my loc*l, che*p, prep*y phone th*t I, only hours before, bought for convenience of tr*vels *cross ...

... to stay in the same classroom all day! Normally, like all Korean public school teachers, we have to move from room to room each period, and the kids stay put. The teacher having a homeroom classroom, so-to-speak, is somewhat of a new idea here... I presume...since this isn't the way it is, and the "way it is" is the Korea way. I think it will be interesting to see how behavior issues will go down. I usually don't have too many problems, but when we ...

... though theft is uncommon in Korea, I learned that humans will always take advantage of a situation, huh? <br><br> <br><br> For Thanksgiving, I planned a "feast" for my after-school group. It was a lot of fun. I made place settings and menus. The food was tricky because I could only find certain things, AND I had to make everything via stove-top in my teensy-tiny kitchen... So, on the menu was honey ham, green beans (from a ...

... our room guided by dim red lights. Love motels serve the population in Korea as a place where one can escape the tight confines of you apt. and do the nasty in a place that wouldn't be the same without the noise of love, be that with a spouse or mistress. We were going to be four in our room that had a circular bed and his and hers robes. We chilled with some beers and then the four of us went for food. We ate at a Korean restaurant on the cheap. I ...

... there. The Lotte Giants won their second game, and is currently in first place. I got to be honest though, I'm having a hard time supporting a team named the Giants. Same logo and colors and everything. I wanted to buy a hat, but I just couldn't!!! They're my rivals back home! I might have to become a Seoul Bears fan instead....out of principal. <br><br>Speaking of Seoul, Anne and I found out that we're going to have to go there ...

... long-dead; in Korea space is at such a commodity that a tomb may make a perfect playground. That's the fun and wonder of Gyeongju. My roadshow continues, weekend after weekend. It is very much the life of the rock star and the circus animal, shuttled from location to location, offering entertainment in exchange for companionship and lodging. It's a grand life but an exhausting one, and as winter marches steadily nearing, shivering the leaves from the trees, I begin to ...

... for his trouble, but this was turned down, on the proviso that next time we were in Gangchon we would hire our quads from him. We made the bus in plenty of time and as it pulled out of the station my mobile rang. It was Philip, just checking we had caught the bus. What a legend. Our bus was headed to Donghae - from there we were going to make our way to Samcheok, home to some fascinating caves. However, once we arrived at Donghae station one of the ticket sellers ...
