The First Snow of the Season

It’s pretty and all, but I hate walking around in snow.  Plus, the traffic home tonight will be terrible.

Rain, rain, go away

This is what it has looked like since I woke up this morning at 8:30am. What looks like fog is lots and lots of rain.  It actually looks worse in real life than it does in these pictures.  This has got to be the worst July weather in a long time.  Well, worst for me, [...]

Summer has offically started for me

My students took their final exams today, so I’m done with university classes until September.  I’ve still got to teach our university’s children camp in July, but that will be easy.  It’s four weeks, Monday through Thursday, 1 to 5pm.  I’ll take the opportunity to go workout at least five days a week, and get [...]

Chakhangogi Restaurant

Yesterday, Bart drove Ras and I to have an early dinner at a relatively famous restaurant in Gunpo called “Chakhangogi.”  It’s located off a main road, but is deep in the country.  It was originally a cattle farm, eventually opening up a butchery on site, and soon was providing seats for people to grill their [...]

Swimming at the Gunpo Welfare Center

I woke up this morning, cleaned the apartment, and wondered what I should do with the rest of my day.  I then remembered that I wanted to check out the swimming pool at the Gunpo Welfare Center. About a month a go, Ras and I were on a walk and noticed a very new building [...]
