It’s not often that I sit naked in hot baths speaking to other equally naked men, but it does happen. The last time it happened was when I spent the night in a jimjilbang (Korean bath house) to recover, immediately after Ansan Rock Festival. I met an American on the way in and when we […]
June has been a busy month and I’m sorry that I’ve been a little behind on my posts. The temperature here in Korea is on the up, last night I thought it might have reached 50 degrees, but it turned out that my flatmate had just left the heating on all night, 바보. I’m writing […]
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 […]
They say the best way to learn is to teach and since I’ve decided it’s finally time to learn to speak some Korean this post is going to give a brief introduction to 한국어, (Hangul) the Korean language and 한국말 (hanguk-mal), spoken Korean. First, a brief history lesson. It was created during the Joseon Dynasty in 1443 […]
Despite being in Korea my sights have been set a little closer to home this week. After having a chat this weekend about plans after the year is over I got thinking about what I want to do, and a holiday plan started to form. I’ve decided that I want to spend a few months […]
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 […]
This weekend has been full of shopping and generally being underground (literally). Earlier in the week I met with Kerr for a few holes of golf in Bupyeong. I played appallingly, but I’m still counting it as a win because I started hitting the ball with the right technique. After golf we ended up in […]
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 […]
I thought in this belated post (sorry about that) I would take the opportunity to tell you about some of this things that are a little different over here compared to at home in the UK. I looked at some of the major cultural differences in my post of culture shock, but these are smaller […]
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. […]
