So Much Free Time

Thu, 09/06/2012 - 22:34 — tgates209

When/if you come to Korea to teach English, you will quickly find that you have tons o' free time. Long evenings, vacation, breaks, etc. You'll wonder where the work comes in. Wait, do I actually work here in Korea...?!

Korean Injected Muscle Car

icon/ˈīˌkän/

A person or thing regarded as a representative symbol of something: “this iron-jawed icon of American manhood”.

In terms of iconic esteem and revere, there are few people that live up to the status of an iconic automobile…in my opinion of course

Seriously….if on some idle Thursday I happened upon Tom Hanks and Oprah Winfrey walking hand in hand down my street directly in front of a parked Ferrari F40….theres a good chance that my complete disregard for them would seem quite rude as my attention would be rightfully placed on the Italian. Like people, iconic cars transcend generations….but unlike people, you don’t need to know that much about them to appreciate their beauty. Well, if we’re talking swimsuit models I suppose my entire point is shot.

UN Memorial Cemetery - God Bless America!

Tue, 09/04/2012 - 19:47 — tgates209

The UN Memorial Cemetery (http://www.unmck.or.kr/) is one of the most memorable sites in Busan that I've been to so far. The cemetery, dedicated to the international soldiers who gave their lives in the Korean War is next to the Busan Museum, so I was able to see both during a long afternoon. I initially thought I was just going to pass through a cemetery with some statues and marble monoliths, but it turned out to be much more - though there are plenty of huge marble fixtures and displays.

Passport Supersized

Sat, 09/01/2012 - 22:47 — ndamiano

As we prepped for our next trip at the end of the month I realized that I was running into an issue. My passport was about out of space which could in fact cause an issue. Having less than 4 pages could stop me from traveling in or out of the country and while being stuck on the shores of Boracay seems like a plan to me, Nicole, Eunee and the Baby-to-be thought otherwise.

Hummus Heaven at High Street Market

“You look like you could use an almond milk coffee smoothie with real mint chocolate bits,” the man behind the counter caught me off-guard as I stood at the entrance of the store wide-eyed and drooling. “I can make it for you now and you can enjoy it while you shop.” I nodded, unable to verbalize my gratitude. “Did he just read my mind?” I thought. Maybe he did, or maybe he just saw me for the sucker that I am, regardless, the drink was beyond amazing and I couldn’t help but make a few annoying slurping sounds with my straw as I managed to enjoy each bit of the almond milk deliciousness as I browsed all that High Street Market had to offer.

Korea Q&A: Racism, Girl Judo, Meds, CRC, Typhoons

Sat, 08/25/2012 - 15:15 — tgates209

Taking a few to answer some questions and comments I've received from my YouTube channel and blog. Thanks to those who wrote them into me.

1. Racism in Korea
2. Prescription medications
3. Are there any women in judo? Is judo expensive?
4. What is typhoon season like in Korea? Is it anything compared to hurricane season in the US?
5. How long does CRC take?

Seoul, Sinchon - Sinchon Rest

Sat, 08/25/2012 - 09:31 — tigreye2000

Sinchon Rest has a very old feel to it. For some reason they don't give the women keys at the desk, but the give the men some. Instead you go in, find a locker, and grab the key from the locker. The wet area had an assortment of standing and sitting showers. There were two saunas, one stone and one wood. For bathes there was a hot, a hotter, and a freezing.

In terms of sleeping this jjimjilbang is amazing, especially for women. There were sleeping areas right there in the wet area if you didn't feel comfortable going to the mixed area to sleep. The sleeping room was on the fourth floor and had a large mixed area, as well as a glassed off area with bunks for women only. There was a small room just for men on the floor below next to the gym and nail/hair salon.

We all deserve a ‘Spring Break’, yes even you. Mud Festival

Pictures of Team MAD MMA Practice

Sat, 07/28/2012 - 09:57 — tgates209

I am now training at Team MAD Busan - an MMA academy. Interesting that it turns out some top notch pro fighters like Kim Dong-Hyun of the UFC but is not very well marketed. It may just be that it isn't marketed to the international crowd yet, but there is very little on the internet about where they are and how to find them if you are a foreigner.

hot damn.
