Seen in Dongdaemun today – 3000 won. You couldn’t pay me to wear this shirt…

On Sunday, I had the pleasure of attending my first ???, a baby’s one year birthday party.  The birthday girl was Susana, David and Cathy’s daughter.  I had met David at a photography class taught by Mike.  Walking into the banquet hall, I had no idea who would be at the gathering that night.  Guess [...]

Ras flew in last night and I went to meet him at Incheon Airport for his 9:30pm arrival.  The last bus to Gunpo is 10:30pm, but we made it out of the airport to catch the 10:10pm bus home.  Unpacking was a lot of fun because it was like Christmas!  I received things I requested, [...]

I met up with Barbara and Amy at 1:00pm yesterday at the Seoul Museum of Art.  Amy is a docent for the Chun Kyung-ja exhibition, and gives a guided tour in English at 1pm every Saturday and Sunday. Including me, there were seven of us on the tour, which lasted about 20 minutes.   For [...]

I had to get up early today and do an errand in Hongdae.  Aftwards, I met up with Kevin and Shaun at the Hamilton Pool around 10am when it opened.  I arrived at the pool at 10:07am and there were at least ten other people there!  Kevin wanted to come to the pool during the [...]

I received the following information from Seoul Magazine‘s newsletter. Last year in August, there was a massive flea market at the World Cup Stadium. I don’t think this is the same event, though. Nonetheless, I’m a fan of thrift stores and bargain hunting, so this is right up my alley. Unfortunately, I’ll be admiring the [...]

This past Saturday was spent outside near the Han River, watching the FIVB Women’s Pro Beach Volleyball Tour. The event was not publicized at all and we only heard about it through Kevin on Facebook. I initially didn’t want to go because 1) it was far (near Jamsil) and 2) isn’t it just an excuse [...]

Yesterday was the Seoul Friendship Fair near city hall. This was my third or fourth Friendship Fair, and I must say, it was the best one so far. In previous years, the event was a little chaotic and the international food selection wasn’t so international. This year, the food booths were down the entire street [...]

Today I was in Seoul and visited Tapgol Park, Insa-dong, and Jogyesa Temple.  I don’t have time to go through all the pictures tonight or write a longer post, but I wanted to leave you with few photos before going to bed.
