Second part in my series of photos from my parents trip. Click here for photos. 

Here’s a few snap from my parents trip to Korea over the last 2 weeks. As I mentioned before in my past post, the descriptions will be at a minimum, as I’m sure most of you really aren’t that interested in the trip. Click here for photos. 

Over the weekend, Em and I, along with a few of our co-workers and friends (amongst them our good buddy Aaron) headed down to Jiri-san National Park for a spot of summer camping. You may recall last year that we took an almost identical trip, and seeing as both Em, Aaron and I enjoyed the [...]

We had planned to head to Yeosu this weekend and spend some time in a small coastal town. I had a quick look at the bus and train schedules and to my horror found that it was at least 4 hours away by bus and 6 hours by train. While I’ve done many long distance [...]

With yesterday being a magnificent, if slightly windy, day, Em and I decided to make the most of it and headed out to Duryu Park. Neither of us had been there before and it was a good opportunity to get some fresh air and see the cherry blossoms which had just started to bloom throughout [...]

This weekend Em and I thought we’d dust off the old hiking boots (metaphorically of course, seeing as neither of us have hiking boots) and set forth to Palgongsan, the mountain range an hour outside of Daegu. I had been to Palgongsan once before with Helen teacher, from Andong ECC, but believe it or not, [...]

On Sunday, Em and I decided to take a walk around Keimyung University, a little over 25 minutes walk from our place. We actually didn’t walk there but instead got off at Keimyung University subway stop as we’re coming back from another trip. We had often seen the university in the background but never taken [...]

Being the long weekend Em and I travelled to one of the lesser known areas in Korea (to at least us, anyway) Gwangju. We had been to Gwangju once before to visit the museum and memorial park, but didn’t quite make it an hour on to Boseong, home of the famous Korean green tea plantations [...]

Last Saturday was the academy’s winter field trip to Gyeongju museum. I have to confess to saying I was rather excited about going on the trip seeing as the previous one I went to was so much fun. This trip, I was paired up with Brenda, the Korean teacher I speak most to at the [...]

Christmas Day is indeed a special day made even more special that I could share it with my folks opening presents in the morning. Mum and Dad came from the hotel where I cooked up for them a very quick and unspectacular Christmas breakfast of chili eggs, hash browns, sausage, and toast, with hot cups [...]
