I’m leaving in an hour for the The Roots concert – their first performance in Seoul.  I’m meeting Ras, Brad, Eddie, and one other at Gwangnaru station (line 5).  It’s an expensive show, with general admission at 88,000 won and reserved seating at 110,000, which includes drinks and finger foods.  We bought the reserved seats.  [...]

I’ve been busy, to say the least.  The last two weeks involved writing English finals and wrapping up the semester by proctoring exams on Friday.  In addition, we moved into Seoul over the weekend. The move went relatively well.  Upon calling around for a moving company, Ras was quoted 500,000 won because he wanted to [...]

Since I’m leaving Korea at the beginning of February 2009, Ras has to leave the apartment we’re in now and move into Seoul.  He has been commuting from Gunpo into Seoul for the last eight months.  This past Saturday Ras and I went apartment hunting in Seoul.  (I won’t bore you with places we looked [...]

What an experience today was!  About a month ago, Mike asked if I wanted to join him and other photographers to shoot at Seoul Fashion Week for the FeetManSeoul website.  Fashion photography is not something I’ve ever dabbled in.  Instead, I usually stick to food, landscapes, and everyday life shots.  Still, it was too good [...]

What wonderful things can I say about Star Chef restaurant that hasn’t already been said by FatManSeoul or ZenKimchi?  I wholeheartedly agree with them – the restaurant is fantastic.  Yesterday, I was reading ZenKimchi’s blog and came upon his Star Chef post.  Since the food looked amazing, and we were going to be in the [...]
