We arrived in Kangneung a little later than expected because Readon woke up late, and we were behind schedule by about two hours. One we arrived on the East coast, we made Seorak-san our main excursion for the day. Our first stop was some temple on the way to Yangyang. As you can see, I’m [...]

The road trip to the coast was busy, but fun.  I got some good pictures and ate a lot – definitely the signs of a good trip.  I’ve chosen 100+ pictures and am ready to upload them to Flickr tomorrow.  For now, here’s the first place we stopped on our touristy road trip.

Last Sunday was spent in Songtan, at the Korean/American Friendship Festival… or was it Cultural Festival? I can’t remember. We were supposed to meet Greg, his wife, and her sister around noon. We drove down a little earlier to visit a tailor shop and get some things made. Ras put in an order for two [...]

Around 2:00 pm yesterday, it started raining at the flea market, so Ras, Reardon, Kevin, Kevin’s girl Min-hee, and I made plans to escape from the liquid sunshine.  We decided to go have mussels and wine at La Cigale Montmartre in Itaewon.  We had all been there several times and knew it was a nice [...]

Ras and I had lunch at the Homever Food Court yesterday and then made our way to the World Cup Stadium Flea Market at exactly noon. When we arrived there, things were well under way, and there were a ton of people already browsing. It seemed fun at first, but I quickly realized there were [...]

The Flickr Meet (Meet-up/Meetup/whatever you want to call it) was fun, even though it was a bit far away for me – Olympic Park Stadium. There were a lot more people at this Flickr meet than before. Our total came to 21! It was nice that so many people were there, but at the same [...]

This is where I’ve been for the last 3 days: Friday was spent at Ocean World… lots of fun, with perfect sunny weather! Saturday and Sunday were spent at Anmyeon Island (Anmyeon-do). This long, wide stretch of sand is Anmyeon Beach. This lighthouse picture is from Kkotji Beach. I wish I had the energy to [...]

I was hoping to post all my pictures from this weekend tonight, but I ran out of time. This first installment will be about my, Ras’, and Barry Bond’s Saturday trip to the Yeoido public swimming pool. You see, Reardon has been dubbed Barry Bonds by Kevin because he cheated at Scrabble. This occurred the [...]

Mom and I had a really successful day of clam digging in Garibaldi, a small coastal town in Oregon.  We arrived to see people already busy at work. [The large version has lots of details] My mom raked the shallow waters for Cockles, while I dug for the larger Gaper Clam. Supposedly, the bigger the [...]
