I’ll have to say this, I was really impressed by the Folklore Festival. I wasn’t sure how "international" it would be, but the event was really enjoyable. You could easily find a volunteer that spoke English, and P.A. announcements were made in English, Chinese, and Japanese, as well as Korean. I was there at 10am [...]

I wanted to go see the grounds for the Folklore Festival before it opens tomorrow, so Ras and I scooted along the river from downtown. I was a little disappointed to learn that this year, the Danoee Festival would be held all the way out in Ponam-dong, along the river behind Emart. I had looked [...]

I just got back from The Warehouse, and am waiting for my water to heat up… so I decided to write.  I always say to myself, I’m going to go out for a bit, but make it an early night.  It never turns out that way.  During the long holiday last week, I was out [...]

This weather is strange.  Two hours ago, it started snowing!  Just last week, it was really warm spring weather.  Of course, the snow’s not sticking, but it was nice to see flakes coming down.  I really don’t like this in-between weather.  I was about to bring out my spring clothes on Monday, but then saw [...]

Yesterday I went to the dentist to have a check up and cleaning. Maybe I should have been a little weary when the dentist finished with her patient and then washed her gloved hands, instead of getting a new pair, before heading to me. I guess on the bright side, she DID wash it thoroughly, [...]

Well, the news is out, and I wanted to make it official.  Raswan and two of his Korean friends are opening up a bar in Kangneung!!!  For anyone who was here at least two years ago, you know about Sting.  It was the bar that foreigners went to, before we were banned after Philippe’s antics [...]

Last night was the first time I went to Yongpyong this season to snowboard. One of the teachers at my school invited me, since she goes two or three times a week, and has a season pass. Yong-im came to pick me up in her cute, red car. I soon came to realize she’s a [...]

Today turned out to be a beautiful Sunday – clear skies and crisp autumn-like air.  Raswan and I took a scooter ride to the beach.  We didn’t have plans to stay out there long, but it was nice to be outside and enjoy the beautiful day.  I decided to get a coffee from one of [...]

I woke up today feeling pretty good.  This is considering I had eight to nine Malibu’s and O.J., and three shots.  OOOHHHH…. I HATE tequilla!!!  But Rory was passing them out like he was Kris Kringle, himself.  Some of us met Gisele for the first time, too.  My impression???  The girl likes to dance, and [...]
