I wanted to take a quick stroll this morning as the sun was rising to take pictures. Unfortunately, I forgot to charge my camera and missed the early dawn. So, instead of the post “South Korean Sunrise,” which is kind of catchy, you only get “South Korean Morning.”

2007. It’s almost over. I suppose I should try to come up with some catchy phrase to end this year, but simple words would only undervalue the whirlwind of a ride my life and this blog have taken in the last 365 revolutions of Earth. I’ll try to sum up, the best [...]

I wanted to put up a quick post to see how everything is going for my readers. I hope everyone is having a great holiday season.
I spent several hours on the Web cam with my family while they opened presents on Christmas. It was a neat experience seeing most of them for the [...]

This past weekend, I experienced my first Korean wedding. I didn’t want to go because I was extremely sore from the “mandatory fun” called Avalon Sports Day (all the teachers had to participate in the oddest sporting event ever at my school). However, I’m glad I got the chance to see this.

Lately, I’ve been blogging a little too much about WordPress and all kinds of mumbo-jumbo for the Internet junkies. Today, however, I’m going to share with you a little movie. Yes, a movie! Last Monday, I was put to the “Milk Challenge.” Little did I know, when I decided to take [...]

If you would’ve told me back in May, when I graduated college, that I’d be where I’m at right now or doing what I’m doing right now, I probably would’ve asked you what medication you were on.
In just a few short hours, I’ll be boarding a plane, taking off for Fukuoka, Japan. This is [...]

“They say you can never go home again.”
I was thinking about that quote a couple of weekends ago (I know, I should’ve been blogging since then). I was homesick. It took a couple of weeks, but I felt it. Really, I just didn’t have anything to do. I was sitting around [...]

It’s been a few days since I last blogged, I know. I’m finally settled into my apartment in Sunae. That’s after spending a week in what my coworkers call the “love motel.” I think that has something to do with the motel-provided condoms and the pay-by-the-hour rates.
