welcome to yeoju! home of eunice's great uncle and aunt. its a fantastic place about an hour south of seoul. "what's in yeoju?", you ask. well, there are lots of trees, plenty of hills, pepper farms and the endless winding countryside roads. doesn't sound like much, does it? regardless, it was a very pleasant place; the mountain clean air, absen...

I am writing my very first entry here! So as most of you probably already read...we got to fly our very first First Class flight. And let me tell you, it was freakin awesome!!! I normally ALWAYS wear this sticker under my ear that makes me knock out and not get airsick. But as soon as we got bumped up to first class and I saw the nice slippers, ...

· Seoul, South Korea · GMT +8:00 hours Waiting, one more time Why is it that every time I find myself in Seoul I seem to spend a lot of time doing absolutely nothing? Just waiting for something, or someone. First time I was here (January 2004) I spent time waiting between here and Busan, Korea's second city, for the flight home after my first Ca...

so today was interesting. we had planned to get up early to go to dongnimmun and take this shamanist hillside walk to see some buddhist temples and shamanist shrines. it was like ghost town central all over korea this week; so quiet. everything was closed and there was nothing to do. i was excited to finally get out and do something. well, this ...

South Korea is one of the smaller nations in Asia, with a size comparable to the state of Indiana. What it lacks in size it makes up for in abundant culture, turbulent history, exquisite cuisine and a generous and welcoming society. If you want to experience South Korea's rich culture, history, and cuisine, be sure to find discount airfare to Ko...

So I bought a new camera. A very nice one infact. And now you'll notice an increase in pictures and videos!!! I can't get over the cherry-blossoms and magnolias. They are so pretty. But they are slowing going away. I have many pictures of them. And some interesting videos too, check them out. We went to the cherry blossom festival. It was really...

SO this was quiet the week, a full teaching slate with extra classes and I was absolutely knackered. Then Friday came and my Korean co-teachers popped the information on me that I was having a house party. They all came over with absolutely no preparation... and they brought alot of soju. My God, I am talking about alot. Then after they plyed wi...

We made it safely to Korea (two days behind the rest of the group)! The kids did great on the 14 hour flight but woke up this morning sick. I imagine the majority of it is fatigue and air-travel. Seoul is incredibly crowded and smoggy. We left Seoul early this morning for the area of Gyeongju and saw a number of fabulous Buddist temples and got ...

A real highlight of our stay in Korea was our visit to the de-militarised zone between the two Koreas. This 4km strip of no-man's land runs the entire breadth of the country and is just a short drive from Seoul. Although relations are at a relative high, this remains the most heavily fortified border on the planet and strict visitor dress codes ...
