  • Halloween!

    Submitted by on

    Halloween at Kids Club was really fun! All of us teachers turned the school into a carnival and decorated each room with a different game and theme. The other foreigner teachers and I even built a haunted house that scared some kids so bad, they cried and one kid so bad, he peed!

  • Joong-ang Haesu (Sea) Land - Yongho-dong, Busan

    Submitted by on

    First off, it's pretty cute that this place translates 해수 into "Sea" in their name. I mostly notice places call themselves "Haesu World" or "Haesu Land" or whatever. But it does mean "sea" so there you go.

    Secondly, the location is great. I've had this place on my radar for the past couple months but haven't had the opportunity to visit until recently. It's just up the road from Bukyung and Kyungsung Universities so it's not only conveniently & centrally located, but also excellent for a quick sleep after the bars!

  • CALS Welcome Party 2010

    Submitted by on

    This time last year, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences decided to invite the international staff and students for a free dinner at the Faculty Club. So we set off on the trek from Building 200, long after sundown. In small groups of familiar faces we shuffled up the hill towards the general direction of the moon, like a timid swarm of multicultural moths.
    Our suspicions were raised as to the motives of such a seemingly pleasant gesture.

  • Life in South Korea: Walking Busan

    Submitted by on

    I just moved to my apartment and got internet again. I went without internet for three days. It was kind of a nice break. Though it is good to be online again. I had the idea for this video awhile ago. I figured I would shoot it just before I left Korea as it would be a good memory of my time there. It makes me a little sad to watch it. Korea felt like my home and now I miss my home. I am excited about the future!

    Enjoy the video:
