Over the past year a number of people have read this blog and been nice enough to send me a message or give me a call. One thing that seems to be repeatedly mentioned in these communications is the amount of alcohol involved in many of my stories. It’s true that both myself and many […]
Recently one of the most important events of both the Korean and western calendar took place. That’s right, it was my birthday! [Pause for songs and congratulations] Thank you, thank you. This year I decided to celebrate by scaring myself, and more importantly my friends, as much as possible. To this end, I chose to […]
So far I’ve had by man bits squeezed by an aged Korean man and left a friend in a strange house with a strange man. If you missed all this excitement then check out Part 1 here. So, how did we get from here to the laughing, almost weeping in a Korean fast food restaurant? […]
‘Now look at the black dot’. ‘Ermm…’. Suddenly I’m blinded by strip of blue light. It rotates a few times and a computer I can’t see makes a sound that clearly means ‘No’. ‘Hmmm, no. Let’s try again. Are you looking at the black dot?’ All I can see it blackness and a thin blue strip. […]
Last weekend was a good one. I started with no plans and one simple mission, to spend as little money as possible. In this I failed, but it was worth it. Friday arrived and we got a little treat at work. Sunday 5th is ‘Children’s Day’ in Korea. A day where parents spend extra time […]
This post is a little overdue, but I’ve had a busy few weekends. I’ve done a lot of sightseeing, quite a bit of partying and even found myself at a St. Paddy’s day festival in Seoul. Last Friday was much like most others. After work Joe and I jumped into a taxi and got ourselves […]
As weekends go, last weekend was a good one. On Thursday I decided to do something that I’ve wanted to do since secondary school. I decided to become a qualified SCUBA Diver. It was easy enough to sort out. Since before I arrived in Korea I had my eye on Deep Blue Quest, a diving […]
Work is great and all but I’m certainly not complaining when the weekend comes around. Weekends here follow a pretty similar pattern. Once work finishes on a Friday night, usually around 10pm, I grab some food and run home to get changed out of the shirt and tie before jumping in a taxi for Bupyeong. […]
Hello 2013 and Happy New Year to you all. 2012 was good to me. I graduated Aberystwyth University, got my degree and ended what were three truly fantastic years. The summer was also a highlight, kicking off with a trip with Aberystwyth Uni Canoe Club (AUCC) to the French Alps. It was an awesome way […]
Post written on Wednesday 12th December. Annyeong Haseyo (Hello) from Korea! As much to my own surprise as anyone else’s I am writing this from my desk in the staffroom at the place I now call work. It’s my second day here, my fifth in Korea, and how very strange those days have been. If I […]
