So our friend who is getting married got the photographs of their wedding shoot, and she wasn't happy. To my mind, they were the kind of typical Korean fare which I've become conditioned to expect - a little too suggestive of some period romanticism which never existed except in Western period dramas or paintings - and that brought some oddities into the equation. In one shot the groom-to-be sat on an faux-antique chest of drawers while his partner stood by its side in her long white dress.
I'm expanding the overview on Haeundae. This entry will include a personal review and more details.

Heather and I have been on two guided group tours during our escapades from the Land of the Early Morning Alarm Clock. One of those was in Beijing and the other was just recently in Hong Kong. Guided tours are good in the fact that they take you around to places in a convenient manner. The downside is that they conveniently take you to some places that you'd rather not go.
I should apologize for not keeping my readers in the loop, especially those dedicated readers and those reading via RSS / Google Reader. I tend not to write a lot about my personal / teaching life since they're not precisely the focus of the blog, but every now and then life takes a turn for the unexpected.
Our search for a couch had ground to a halt. The prices on Furniture Mountain had generally started at 800,000 won (£421/$688) for anything comfortable, and this seemed high compared to some of the local stores we'd visited, so we resolved to try again later.
Itaewon is a tough area for jjimjilbang or saunas. I recently went out there and just resorted to the Happy Day spa near Hongdae. I don't even care to try out the love motels in Itaewon, since there are so many seedy areas around there. So, I vowed to search for some places you can utilize next time you're in this popular shopping and night-life district.
