Just a quick post this Sunday morning. What would you do if you and your girlfriend had just met someone, and his girlfriend for 2 years, for the first time over dinner, and then later found out that the the guy had emailed your girlfriend for a bit of ‘how’s your father?’ afterwards? Personally speaking, [...]

It’s recent news, but Wonju’s most famous English Teacher, Aaron, has managed to score himself a girlfriend. Haven’t not been introduced to this ‘lucky’ lady we’re quite happy when Aaron said he would be bringing her down to Daegu this weekend. We met both of them after lunch on Saturday, and Cindy, Aaron’s girlfriend, seems [...]

I thought I’d change my focus for a second away from Australian cricket and focus on new Zealand cricket. I’m pleased (and somewhat amused) by Aaron’s recent writings regarding Australia’s performance in the latest Ashes series, however he’s failed to mention anything about New Zealand’s current tour of Sri Lanka. Was this an oversight? Was [...]

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. Just a few shot of us up in Seoul catching up with [...]

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 [...]

As Aaron rightly pointed out on his blog, the Twenty-20 World Cup begins today in England. I’ve mentioned in the past that I’m not a huge fan of the Twenty-20 format, merely a slog fest that I believe originated from the Hong-Kong 8′s (or is that 6′s) tournament in the late 90′s. I am a [...]

Last week we said goodbye to one of the Korean teacher’s at the academy who decided that she had had enough of the long hours and endless meeting that our academy is well known for. At the academy, the Korean teachers must sign in before noon, and more often than not go home around or [...]

On Saturday Em and I went downtown for a bit of shopping, Actually, I had planned to go downtown alone as I had planned to buy Em her birthday present, but she insisted she come too and we made a day out of it. We headed to Kyobo books first where Em was hoping to [...]

So that was a bit of a whirlwind weekend wasn’t it? With the North Korean football team crying foul over the poisoning of their players prior to the game in Seoul last Wednesday, and then launching of a rocket into space (the nation rather than the football team), anyone would bonkers to consider any other [...]
