We got the Beetle ferry from Fukuoka to Busan.  We felt very sad about leaving Japan but at the same time excited about arriving in a new country. The hostel we stayed at is called Blue Backpackers and is situated on the 13th and 18th floors in an apartment which had good views of the ar…

Flew into Seoul but ventured around a few different locations in South Korea including the DMZ, Namhansanseong Fortress and the bullet train down to Busan.

This is not really a travel blog, but maybe it kinda is. In Asia there are strange things in the street or in stores promoting products that will pose with you for a photo. Here is my collection. I will add more later...

After a comfortable, fast and uneventful train journey across South Korea we arrived at the port of Busan, our next port of call. We alighted from the train and made our way to the subway to get to our hostel. As with most subway systems it was easy to find our way there and thanks to the good …

I spent my senior year of high school bunking everyday in Mumbai. It was the most amazing thing in my life and here are a couple photos that I stole from my friends.

South Korea in the autumm is colorful and inspiring for the soul, especially admiring the mountains, gardens, temples and palaces. The capital city Seoul seems to be proud of its achivements, good transportation network, tall buildings and interesting attractions.

Busan, nice place to visit, never want to come back.  Curfew at 0030.  No sense of humor.  Got some good photos though.  Post em later.

The date was February 13th 2009 and it was the night before Valentines Day.   As I sat in my barracks room sipping on a Jack and Coke with a hint of Soju I came to the conclusion that I was not going to spend my Valentines Day in Wonju or in Seoul.  So I got up and wondered down the …

my previously blog may have seemed quite pessimistic.  not my intention.  was a little jaded that day.  my apologies...sitting here eating pancakes, listening to the beatles.  trying to keep up a family tradition we had for ages.  things here are great.  i'm really luc…

Taryn HATES fish. Taryn wanted to see the fish market in Busan because... ... ... well I'm not sure. But we went and we got lots of gross pictures of fish dead and alive, skinned and with its skin still on, trying to escape and contented with its eminent doom. There were sea creatures there that w…
