Highrise Farming

Up here on the twentieth floor, myself and Herself are quite fond of the daily dose of sunlight we are lucky enough to be provided with, not to mention the all too frequent magnificent sunsets, a few of I’ve catalogued for your viewing pleasure:

Mail That Makes You Dance

I love mail! Postcards, letters, ransom notes, and the ever magical care package- anything sent to me from another country, or even my own, is awesome.  Any non-bill to show up at my door is cherished, (my apartment door covered with delivery magnets can attest to that fact) but for me in Korea, mail in any form is down right magical!
 


The Japanese are a Trip Entry #1: Laser Decorated Sushi

Love them, hate them, deplore their government’s sense of geography and history, the Japanese culture is just plain cool. In this occasional series I will highlight peculiarities of this unique collection of people on that big island in the East Sea of Japan’s West…whatever.

A Week in Photos #3

My bus ride was made so much better when I spotted this little boy “helping” take weight off her hands. He is so adorable!  I got a nice surprise in the package my mom was sending me. As I opened it I thought, “What the…????” and had to laugh. My poor mother knew I had been so [...]

Korean Food And Culinary History

This guy has apparently been declared a cultural treasure of Japan, and my mother in law needs to be declared a cultural treasure of Korea, on par with the greatest golden idols, the tallest pagodas, and the most ancient palaces, in the country. This meal she whipped up for us an hour or two ago was among the most incredible dining experiences of my life. It doesn’t look like much in the picture I snapped on my phone, in between gobbling everything down as fast as I could—she was taking care of our kid and waiting very patiently for one of us to finish and switch off—but I’ll still try to describe it:


Let Them Eat Cake

The Koreans are rock stars at making things with vegetables.  They'll give you enough veggie side dishes to fill a table and make your head spin.  They are masters at it, and have been doing it for a LONG time.  There are so many vegetables in Korean cuisine, it's so much healthier than the way I eat at home and I love it. 

One thing the Koreans don't always understand is dessert.  They're getting better, but I still don't want a gummy rice ball as my after dinner sweet of choice.

 I have a weakness for all things sweet, and that seems to be working out great at my new school.  Seriously, I don't know what it is, but we seem to have cake at Worwick all the time, and I don't mind one bit.

A Week in Photos #2

The week started off with a beautiful powerful storm Monday morning, and it wasn’t so bad because it was like a summer storm. It was awesome seeing the dark clouds move over the mountains and bring the sun.  It’s been a noisy busy week this week as supporters have been filling the streets pushing for [...]

Monster Cupcakes: Noksapyeong


One can't help but feel a sense of duty to go and try out a new cupcake shop. Past Noksapyeong station and in the neighborhood nearby Standing Coffee, is the place Monster Cupcakes. I went and visited them recently and took home two scrumptious treats.

Blueberry Milk, Love and Choco pies

Oh, you funny student As I was snacking at work yesterday and talking to a student, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud as I realized what exactly my blueberry milk said: My student also thought it ridiculous how random products have things about love written on it. “I found insecticide…insect killer..it said, ‘If you [...]
