A Seoul Spring on the Han

Thu, 04/11/2013 - 00:32 — devanrosey

Something about being near water is simply relaxing. When the weather finally agrees to reward Seoul, Korea with a mild and sunny day after a brutally long winter people tend to flock to the Han River. Here are 10 ways to enjoy the river in the coming months.

Our Weekend: Cherry Blossoms and Birthdays

Mon, 04/01/2013 - 20:05 — Lamblet
Spring is officially here in Korea with the cherry blossoms deciding to make an appearance slightly earlier than usual.

This weekend was all about homecooked food, I made chicken and chorizo fajitas, pumpkin soup and dessert on Friday night. Saturday I went to support not one, but two of the local football teams in their games, followed by a party in Haeundae for Ethan's birthday. Sunday started off lazy, but to blow away the cobwebs we went for a walk to Gwangalli to see the cherry blossoms that are in full bloom. There are streets just lined with hundreds of the trees. It really is so pretty.

I hope that everyone at home had a great Easter weekend.

Our Weekend: Pig Neck and Paddy's day

Tue, 03/19/2013 - 16:02 — Lamblet
This weekend was mostly spent saying goodbye to George as she left Korea to return back to England. I finally donned my skates after a year and practiced with the ROKD giels, and we celebrated St Patrick's day by watching the rugby game.

Our Weekend: Freezing For A Reason

Tue, 01/29/2013 - 20:58 — Lamblet
Friday saw the end of Winter camp and the start of a four day weekend, which is always welcome. And this weekend was particularly packed with friends and fun things to do.

On Saturday Nick and I headed to the beach early to take part in the Freezin' For A Reason January dip in the ocean for charity. I was umming and aarring about whether to do it or not, and at the last minute decided that I couldn't let Nick do it on his own. I won't be doing that again in too much of a hurry.
Before the dip. Shall I? Shan't I?

Our Weekend

On Thursday we had what was supposed to be a quiet get together at Rock and Roll bar in Seomyeon to say goodbye to Caroline, and Katie and Alex who are off to Thailand for some Christmas sun. Lucky! What started as a civilised affair turned into alot of red wine, pool and darts, which is one of the reasons I love Rock and Roll bar. Tears were soon added to the equation once we started to say goodbye.

Our Weekend

Sun, 12/09/2012 - 20:37 — Lamblet
With all the build up to Christmas I keep forgetting that December's also going to be a sad month too. Not only will I be far away from my family and all the traditions that I'm used to on Christmas day for the first time ever, but another close friend will be leaving Busan in a few short days. Saying goodbye always acts as a reminder of how quickly time passes here and how it's all very temporary, especially with our first year flying by so quickly.

So to say a good farewell to Caroline we all got together last night in PNU to eat some Thai food and drink mulled wine at the Matahari Cafe and then danced the night away in Crossroads. On top of this we got to see a wedding ceremony between a couple who met in Busan.

Our Weekend: Birthday Burritos

Mon, 12/03/2012 - 16:10 — Lamblet
Scrabble night
Think Scrabble had got the better of me.
Birthday nights, WII sword fights and burritos were all in order this weekend as we celebrated Anna's birthday and welcomed in December.

We spent the last few hours of November in Fully Booked, a used bookshop and cafe. We watched our scrabble skills slowly decrease as the number of glasses of red wine incresed.

Our Weekend: Anchang Village

After weeks of dodging sneezes escaping from little mouths and pushing away the spluttering children that greet us in the hallways, the sickness bug finally bit me. Typically, it coincided with Tasha's sister, Emily, arriving from the UK.

Makgeolli Mamas & Papas 1 Year Anniversary Party!!

Tue, 11/06/2012 - 21:00 — mmpkorea

Set the calendars Mamas & Papas, there’s a big celebration coming!!  The idea for Makgeolli Mamas & Papas began almost a year ago, and we have had a big first year.  We have seen our community grow, met so many fantastic people,  received awesome support…..and of course drunk a lot of delicious makgeolli!

So it’s time to bring together old, new, and yet-to-be-met Mamas & Papas, so that we can kick back and celebrate how far we have come, and how far we are going!  What better place to do that than at the MMPK homebase, Muldwinda.

“Like, what should we do this weekend?”

Mon, 10/29/2012 - 23:07 — devanrosey

As an English teacher in South Korea, when Thursday rolls around each week I usually itch for my upcoming weekend plans. I have learned to take full advantage of my weekend time in Korea and I hope to continue with this new approach to my free time when I return home. I love the tired yet accomplished feeling of a Sunday night following a jam-packed weekend of experiencing new things and people in Korea. When I find myself without plans midweek, I use the following 5 resources to find inspiration for weekend outings. I hope you find them helpful and please feel free to comment with alternative ideas. I promise, armed with these resources you won’t find yourself uttering the annoying answer to a friend looking to have a memorable weekend, “I don’t know, what do you want to do?”

After madly chasing the days away on my calendar, Chuseok finally arrived on Friday afternoon, and everyone was in a great mood at school.

I know it's a little late to be writing about what we did last weekend, as the coming weekend is closer now, but it was a really great one for lots of different reasons:
