Shinan Beach Gwangju

... stores all right next to each other. After being here for a few days I have noticed that certain areas have heavily concentrated goods of the same ****. For instance, if you need landscape goods, there would be 10-15 landscape shops all right next to each other. Bread shops… all right next to each other, and it was the same for the meat market. 10-15 meat shops all right next to each other. As a business man it seemed weird that you would open up a ...

... some ice cream and soju for Preston to drink. It was a nice first day to spend in Gwangju. Now it was off to Daniel's house which was about an hour away from where we were but we slept in the car. We do a lot of sleeping.<br><br> The next morning we went to the started the day with a walk to a remodeled landscape which was mainly just farmland then turned into a park with swimming pools and ...

... getting a boat over to Sapsido. I didn't though - I'd already paid for the accommodation on the beach and the ferries were too infrequent. Excuses! But now I'm in Gwangju, which is Korea's second biggest city. Actually I'm here with some random korean guy who I started talking to on the beach last night. He speaks not a word of English and my korean is utter ****. We could have quite interesting ...

... journey of almost 17 hours. I had a bunk bed in a 50 bed dormitory, which may sound awful, but in fact it was very comfortable and quiet; with a reading light and a curtain in front of each individual bunk bed. It was also only half full. The sun was shining in Qingdao and the next morning it was grey in South Korea. I arrived in Incheon harbour and saw lots and lots of brand new cars in the harbour waiting to be exported. I walked around for a while in this ...

... par l'armee et balances dans une fosse commune en dehors de la ville. C'est pas un film, c'est l'histoire la vraie, et ca se passe a GwanJu en Coree. La resistance heroique des etudiants coreens (a des annees lumieres de nox soixanthuitards pourris gates si je puis me permettre) aura au moins permis de decridibiliser la dictature Coreenne sur le plan international et interieur: elle tombera 7 ans plus tard, mais il faut ...

... green tea bulgogi. The meat came from a tea-fed cow and was cooked in a watery green tea sauce. It was SO good. We were both quite impressed and ranked the meal as one of our best ones while here. Oh, and once again, this was a place where they cooked the meat and vegetables at our table over a burner -- I just love that :-) Anyway, we headed back to Gwangju afterwards and decided that it was too late to head to another ...

I have never been hiking before, and I didn't really know what to expect. It was SO hard, I mean, I think we only walked about 10km in total, but it was really hard !! I have never climbed a mountain that was 1017m hight before. My legs, my knees and ...

... Funny place with lots of little quarks. 1 They believe if you sleep with your fan on a night and the doors closed then you might die of fan death. And if your are found dead in bed with the fan on and the door closed then they do not do autopsy as its death by fan???? 2 They enjoy eating things raw like fish, beef and live octopus which is cut up at your table and you just eat . Only thing is the suckers are still alive so people have died when the get stuck ...

... the side of the hut and hollow chimney channels running under the floor but last winter they closed off the kitchen and removed the open hearth creating a third room. Some of my earliest memories are of my visits to the farm with my parents--I remember having a hard time sleeping comfortably in the spartan quarters. This night did not differ but I felt that spending time with my grandmother was the least I could do after not having seen her for ...

... sensors on the doors and on numerous times they slammed shut on us. 3. The driving. How people don't get regularly run over is beyond me, though I like the concept of 'go through the red light if it is safe (seems safe)' and the driving 120Km in a 60Km zone in the middle of a city the size of Brisbane. Added to this is the custom to not put on a seatbelt as it is considered offensive to the driver as it shows you don't trust his/her driving. Full size busses making U-turns in the ...
