  • GOODBYE STUDENTS ! Well this week is farewell week for me. I've been teaching my students for close on two years now and I have very fond memories of all that we've shared together. Some snap shots: Posted by JBarker in THE ADVENTURES OF A NOMAD ! | Jul 12, 2009
  • JEJU - "SOUTH KOREA'S HAWAII" We had visited Jeju last year and we loved it so much that we've decided to go and live there for a year from the end of August 2009 ! We wouldn't have returned before our move if Manou, our Posted by JBarker in THE ADVENTURES OF A NOMAD ! | Jul 11, 2009

  • THE SANG-JU EXPAT TEACHING COMMUNITY GROWS ! When we arrived in Sang-Ju South Korea in October 2007 the English-speaking and teaching expat community was a very small one !

  • Where is the big stick? Is corporal punishment dead? I think not So, I was sitting in the "Teachers Office" today which unlike home isn't off limits to students. That's one thing about schools over here, teachers don't seem to get a break from students Posted by JuliaG in Julia's Travels | Jun 16, 2009
  • Taste test So Val and I went out for dinner last and rather than doing our usual and going to a place that serves bimibap (rice and veg) we decided to be adventurous and try dining al fresco at a Korean BBQ Posted by JuliaG in Julia's Travels | Jun 6, 2009

  • Time to take your clothes off Well, when I decided to come to Korea I told myself I had to be open to all new experiences that came my way, so when I was invited to go to a Jimjjilbang, I couldn't really say no. But Posted by JuliaG in Julia's Travels | Jun 5, 2009
  • Ahh, the Nori Bang Well, one of the most memory experiences so far was my first trip to a Korean Nori Bang aka 'a singing room' or as we know it, a good old fashioned Karaoke.Yes, that's right, I was there; I saw it Posted by JuliaG in Julia's Travels | Jun 5, 2009

  • Few days in Korea already?! It's already Tuesday, June 3rd, 2009 here. I'm considering whether to go out today because it's windy and there's like 40% chance to rain. I have an umbrella but it looks like so big and I'd have to lug it Posted by lostzepher in Wanderlust | Jun 2, 2009
  • Everything up to now! - Korea I was trying to keep up with the day but I eventually go tired around 10pm -12am. But now I'm awake at 8am ( 08:00 ). Anyways the plane from Japan to Korea was the cat's pajamas. It was the Posted by lostzepher in Wanderlust | May 30, 2009

  • One week, Three Parks & Lots of Hiking - Part 3 When backpacking in tight timeframe and budget, sometime a whole day can be spent in transportation. Some people loathe these days.
