First day in Korea

Dear friends and family, I'm going to try to recall what we did in Korea. We did so many things that it started running together. At first I want to share my impression on Korea. It is a very friendly country and Korean people likes for us to use their language even with very limited vocabularies. They all smile every time I say, "Anyon Haseyo" meaning hello. I used "Kamsa humnida" a lot. This means thank you. The city of Seoul looked like Tokyo a lot. Korean people look like Japanese, and ev...

Sept 1, 05 (Thursday)

We were on our coach in the morning to Haeinsa Temple about 2 hours drive. This temple was established in A.D. 802 and has a number of art treasures in more than 90 buildings. But what really distinguishes this temple is the collection of more than 80,000 wooden printing blocks which compose the most complete collection of the Buddhist Canon to be found in East Asia. Completed in 1251 the blocks remain in excellent condition and are the basis of the most authoritative editions of Buddhist Scr...

... b rain-out-freezer. While it is entirely possible to procreate five even ten years down the road I find myself realizing that I might very well not. If I don't then yes I would miss out on conversations such as the author has in the article. But as the author says without kids I would be able to continue to have a life to do what I want in this adult playground called Earth. And believe me it's quite large.<br><br>Thanks for reading<br>

Day 30- Dog Meat

... the stock. I grabbed a spoon and tasted the stock but I didn&#8217;t like it. It was very gamey with a hint of ginger. I hate ginger. My mother said that in different parts of Korea they cook it different ways. She said a town called Mokpo is famous for their style. I had another bite of the meat in the soup ...

... dinner at the hotel's irish pub, "o'kim's" (i'm not joking!), when a bunch of drunk korean and japanese business men came in for a nightcap. all very fine and normal. then, about 5 minutes later, 2 women, dressed in full-on kimonos with obis, and feet clad in wooden flip-flops complete with socks, walked in and sat down with them. d and i about lost it and we both looked at each other and ...

30th Birthday in Seoul

... like tigers...strange...<br><br>We all ate far too much good food and drank more than enough Soju (any, is more than enough in my book!) and we ajurned to an awesome japanese bar across the road where the seating booths were all pagodas decorated with little lights and flowering cherry blossoms. (I was asked if I wanted to go to Dr Fish - a bar where you sit arround these shallow tanks with your feet in the water and the little fish actually ...

Last week of semester...

... a high five, Won jun who invented some obscure homework excuses, Jimin who designs cars in her spare time, Jim and his dry sense of humour...the list goes on. To celebrate the end of the semester, I went out for a few (too many) beers with Hew and Juli. We went to the Albatross bar where the average age was about seventy-one, but it was fun getting drunk on soju and discussing work. It's clear that something needs to change in terms of the workload, as a lot of new students ...

I'm Pretty Nervous

... my mentor Elsie from Ottawa with my old students from last year who are now in a grade two class. I do enjoy popping in their class when on hall duty to smile and say hi. Some have even given me chocolates these past few days. It has warmed up here over the last few weeks and I hope to make it to a mountain for some last minute boarding with Abbey next weekend. I hope the snow lasts. After that we'll probably head to the east ...
