Busan

Well helllooooo there!! Let me explain myself...please! The reason that I've been so MIA on this site is because most weekends currently find me trekking around South Korea, exploring big cities, little town, and lost rice fields. Look for updates beginning now-- This past weekend was...

Jeonju International Film Festival

Get this--May 5 is a national holiday in Korea, meaning that there's no school, no work, and only play. The holiday's name? Children's Day. Not to be confused with Parent's Day or Teacher's Day, both which follow a few days behind, but neither warranting a day free from school. But I'm...

International Pick-up Lines

Love is supposed to be the international language, and to some extent I guess that’s true. Kisses are kisses. But still, getting to the point where kissing is not only a likely activity, but an acceptable one, takes some work. What I’m saying is international pick-up lines are...

Chaotic!

Jeesh! Overdue doesn't even come close to describing how tardy this post is in coming! Perhaps I should research Twitter, the new fad I've been reading about. That way, every breath I take and movement I make I can inform others about. Though the way things sometimes happen over here, I'm...

The Original Korean Winter Sport

Korea is not a flat country. In fact, I've been told by Koreans that roughly 75 percent of it is covered by mountains and hills. The remaining 25 percent is divided between human establishments and Fields. I personally feel that having such little flat land in a country has causes a very...

Next Stop...Olympics

This past weekend a group of Madisonians ventured out into the Korean wilderness to test their hands (and feet) at the great outdoor sports of skiing and snowboarding. Some met fates of disaster, others of glee, but everyone was in agreement that all fates that befell them were replete with...

Slippery Slopes sans Seatbelts

I have a bone to pick with the Koreans. To be honest, I think all of the potential bones worth picking would amount to an entire skeleton, but that's beside the point. I am completely baffled that so many are still alive after braving the daily battle of Korean traffic. Yes, that which is...

Update

First, I apologize for how extremely long overdue this post is. There might be the appearance of not much happening over here, but that is quite the reverse! Instead of regailing the world web with a specific tale of the present happenings, I've decided to keep it simple with a brief account...
