After seven hours of traveling, Ras and I arrived in Kangneung last night.  We both had our bags, and a present for Melvin. 12 bottles of Old English The three of us stuffed ourselves with tuna and had some time to kill before the Mexico/Portugal game.  Ras wanted to go play pool, while Melvin and [...]

Here are more pictures from last weekend in Kangneung.  First, we went to one of my other favorite restaurants in town, Gaya.  This is where Melvin had his first bottle of "Olde English".  The week before, Raswan and I had gotten on the Kunsan Air Base and picked up two bottles for $2 each. Melvin [...]

Last Saturday, Raswan, Melvin, Philippe and I visited Gyeongpo Beach in Kangneung.  We were all hoping for a sunny day, even if it wasn’t too warm.  Unfortunately, we weren’t that lucky.  It was a cold day, but we stayed as long as we did for nostalgia’s sake.

This past Saturday, Kiran, Christa, Tom, and I took a trip to Samcheok to see the Hwanseononggul Cave, which is one of the largest caves in Asia. I’ve been to a cave in Jeju-do, and although that cave had better stalactites and stalagmites, this one was much bigger. There were huge caverns lit with yellow [...]

Today is officially Dano, and I, along with most elementary and middle school students, had the day off. It was a lazy day spent at the Folklore Festival. There were SO many people there! Out of the 6 or 7 times I’ve been there, this was the most people I’ve seen. It was such a [...]
