Hotels in Seoul - Prices and Reviews

I wonder how interesting my blogs are. I mean, I mainly am in Korea to do three things (1) practice my Korean (2) visit old friends and students (3) teach for a month (something I have to do to pay for the trip here :) ). Since this is my sixth trip here (and having been in Korea for a total of about 4 1/2 hours), many of the adventures of being...

Today I met up with Kerri and her friend Dong-Hyok (DH). DH is Korean, but he lived in the US for eight years so his English is probably better than mine! He just finished a project for the National Folk Museum in Gwanghwamun. He was responsible for all the English translations in the newest exhibit at the museum and Kerri and I wanted to go sho...

Success! I have arrived in Korea on my 2nd layover on the way to Thailand. What a hell of a 13 hour 2nd leg it was from O'Hare to Seoul. Longest flight ever. However, it was my first time on a 747, huge plane, and they had cool screens in each seat to watch movies and listen to music. We flew into the Arctic circle on the plane, so that's anothe...

Daniel Kim, a deacon at our church is a professor at Korea University. He attends all the sports games and invited Tony and I and Christof to this big game. Christof is from South Africa and he also attends our church. The funniest thing about this game was that the student section sitting across from us literally cheered through the WHOLE game....

Well our Second Day of the trip and we are now well on the way to getting to Kazakhstan. This morning started when we woke up we had to get ourselves to the Embassy. Daniel had noted the night before that we could book a chaffuerred car for half a day, which seemed ideal. however Danel's call at 8.30 did not go well. So after letting him try it ...

Yes people who live in Seoul are called 'Seoulites' which I find funny but then I guess it's better than Seoulfuls or Seoulsons! It has been a marvellous time, and every tourist you meet will say Seoul, and Korea, are hidden gems, off the tourist radar, yet providing lots of tourist attractions, street signs and brochures etc in English as well ...

Wandering On Saturday Josh and I wandered around Seoul a bit. We headed through Ewha women's university on the way to ride the subway, and there we witnessed some sort of ritual. About twenty women were standing around in costumes. They wore white... pajamas, for lack of a better term; that's what we'd call them in the United States. Over that t...

Anyung-haseyo! Wow, sorry I haven't updated...I've been so extremely busy. I'll try to be better about that in the future. Well my first month here is nearly over. The flight over was good and immigration wasn't too much trouble. I stayed in a seedy little inn for the first four days until my apartment was ready and it was pretty lonely. I went ...

Well with just one month left in Asia I was given the choice, go on back to the states and my next assignment in Tucson, or go to Korea 30 days. Wrong guestion to ask me, ofcourse I chose to visit Korea.
