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 [...]

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 [...]

On Saturday morning, I dragged Raswan to Coex with me to attend the Seoul Photo and Imaging Show at Coex.  I had pre-registered us a month earlier, and didn’t have to pay the 5000 won entrance fee.  This ended up being a good move on my part because once we arrived around 10:50 am, the [...]

Every time I take a regional bus and go to my dentist in Gangnam, I pass by Yangjae and all the nurseries in the area.  Yesterday, Ras and I drove to the Yangjae Flower Wholesale Market.  (Directions: By subway, take exit 7 out of Yangjae Station.  Walk south for 10-15 minutes.  It will be on [...]

Hey, better late than never, right? I had a good time this year at the VFW‘s annual Super Bowl party in Haebangcheon, near Itaewon. Here’s a good map to the VFW Canteen, with directions, from Republicans Abroad Korea. Bart was sick with food poisoning that morning, so it was just me, Ras, and Kevin. We [...]

I’ve been having a good time relaxing at home, but was starting to get cabin fever.  I got a chance to stretch my legs by spending yesterday with the Flickr in Seoul group.  Our plan was to go to the 63 Building aquarium, and then wing it from there.  All the pictures I took can [...]
