'Just the Answers' opens to rave reviews

Submitted by oneweirdglobe on Wed, 11/18/2009 - 08:15

Like most hagwons, Just the Answers claims to cater to anyone willing to pay its fees / tuition, with one major difference - Just the Answers gives you, well, just the answers. According to Dr. WHO Shin Kan, founder of the hagwon: "People don't necessarily need to know why they're the answers. They simply need to know what the correct answers are so they can get them right for an English-language test."

CHECKING IN

Submitted by pieceofmeat on Tue, 11/17/2009 - 23:28

It finally got properly cold here in the Special K, cold enough to snow this morning, or so I was told. I was sleeping at the time and sadly missed out on the wintry spectacle, but later in the day a dusting of white stuff could be seen on the mountains that pop out of this rough-and-tumble town.

Wedding Crashers

Sunday was the day of our friends' wedding, and it would be the first ceremony I'd attended in Korea where I was merely a spectator, rather than a participant. Surely being on the other side of the fence would be less stressful? Maybe not so much.

Honeymoon: Macau's Monte Fort

Submitted by leeskoreablog on Tue, 11/17/2009 - 21:18

While casinos are the major pulling force for the majority of tourists to Macau, the area does have a lot of other things to offer. Its unique history as a Chinese-Portugese outpost has shaped the landscape, with various forts and 16th century European architecture spread across the territory.

Korean Music is Not Compatible With Ecstasy

Submitted by barbie on Mon, 11/16/2009 - 13:57

This has been the best Monday ever, and it's not even 2 pm yet. I almost want to go to bed and call it a day. It can only go downhill from here. There have been at least three great moments of quality what-the-Hell-just-happened for me so far today. This was just one. We were discussing anti-smoking regulations in one of my favourite classes this morning. It went something like this:

Having Watched You Fall Over, I am Now Titillated

Submitted by barbie on Sun, 11/15/2009 - 22:40

I was out and about on the weekend. I've been doing more of that lately, now that my face has mostly healed up. It's never going to entirely, which is probably just as well; I can make amazing pissy faces now that my left eyebrow doesn't have quite the range that the right does.

Honeymoon: The Casinos of Macau

Submitted by leeskoreablog on Sun, 11/15/2009 - 14:26

A couple of hundred years before the British colonised Hong Kong, the Portugese were already in Macau under a slightly more amicable agreement. Macau was once a major trading portal for South East Asia, but declined in that role and has since become more famous for its casinos.

I Want To Ride My Bicycle

DAY TRIP!
We took a quick little trip over to Gyeongju for the day.
Tory got her geek on while I tried to keep my hangover in check.

We rented bikes.
They were amazing.

Penang - The Big Three

Submitted by tvcasualty on Sat, 11/14/2009 - 15:06

On my third day in Penang, I decided to make an all out assault on the Big 3 - the three dishes identified by Penang expert Rasa Malaysia as the essential tastes of Penang. Along with Robyn Eckhardt at EatingAsia, her writing was one of the main reasons I came to Penang in the first place.
