This is a view of eastern Jeju-do from the ferry ride over to Udo. I shot this off the balcony of our hotel. You can see the many oreums of eastern Jeju-do in the distance. I just wanted to write a quick post about our summer vacation. We had 5 days off recently and we [...]
A stink bug seeking higher ground from the rain. So the rainy season has started here on Jeju-do. This means it will rain for a month or two straight from what I gather. It’s already been nine days of rain in a row so far. The whole island is covered in a thick fog. Everything [...]
Nancy’s brother came to visit us for the weekend from Seoul. We went to Jungmoon on Saturday. I was still a bit sick and didn’t take my camera along. On Sunday I was feeling better and we traveled over to the Eastern side of the island to visit a place called sunrise peak. It’s right [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve spent time updating the blog. So here it is, the download. I’m going to post a bunch of random pictures from the last few months. I caught a cold from a student last week, so this weekend not much got done. We have Wednesday off this week because it’s [...]
So I woke up early enough to come and write a blog entry. Things are going well here in Seogwipo. This past Saturday I went scuba diving in the morning and then to a westerners party later that night. The scuba diving here is really very good. There are huge soft coral cities! Most were [...]
It’s Monday morning. I’m having coffee and a coconut pastry, that means I’m happy. It seems the Paris Baguette “bange cheap” is the best place in the city for coffee so far… I still have to try a few other places. Most coffee shops serve the watered down, weak, weak, WEAK variety. This place serves [...]
I don’t have much time for writing now, here’s the skinny: We left for Korea on February 8th and arrived at night on February 9th, my birthday! We got a quick tour of the island on Sunday. I started work on Monday, yesterday… Overwhelming! Today I managed to process some images from the trip and [...]
I just finished reading Beyond the Sky and Earth a few days ago. It was a great travel narrative and I highly recommend it. The author Jamie Zeppa is 23 when she travels to Bhutan to teach English. The story chronicles her three year stay in the country. She starts out teaching children in a [...]
I finally looked at some of the pictures from Thanksgiving. I thought I’d throw some up here for your enjoyment. This was Thanksgiving day at my parent’s house: Olivia and Tess of course. These two kept us quite busy during our stay! I enjoyed our little hike with the dog as well. We also took [...]
Today Nancy and I ventured down to the city on the train. It took about 45 minutes, not too bad. But it did cost $24!!! I think that’s pretty darn expensive. Too bad everyone wants their own car, it makes it hard for the rail systems to survive I guess. The picture above was taken [...]
