OMG...can't believe the day was finally here.  I was in South Korea, getting ready to head to the show.  We had done a city tour and ended up much longer than planned and only had 1/2 hour to get ready for the show before we needed to catch a cab.  And since our tickets were at …

The street leading up to Ewha Women’s University seemed the most feminine street in all of Seoul.  It was lined with boutiques, cafes and tea shops, shoe stores, beauty salons, a Body Shop and its Korean counterparts. Going up to the university itself, which was on top of a hill, we wer…

We woke up like 9am and had breakfast at hostel (they serve breakfast too). While we were having breakfast, a guy came to the kitchen and started to cool his breakfast but it was kimchi fried rice. That for breakfast?? Too much for me  :o We left to Gyeongbokgung. It was raining a bit b…

It's our first visit with our relatives since getting married in June.

By Korean air, I flew to Seoul Incheon airport from Sapporo. Because of the flight schedule from Seoul to Paris, I had to stay there for a night. But it was my first time there and I had no idea how to spend my evening, but a TB member in Seoul gave me a message, suggesting me t…

Before coming here Korea was a bit of a mystery to me. I had never met a Korean in my life and, apart from Samsung and the Korean war I am embarrased to admit that I knew very little about this country. My closest encounter with Korea was a delicious (and incredibly epxensive) meal I'd ha…

I wasn't really looking forward to the long journey home.  On the way back there would be no overnight in Texas to break up the long journey.  Flying from the East to the West we would be arriving in Dallas "before" we even left Seoul.  How's that for messing up your head? …

Yes Hongdae.. :D thats the place you have to go when you want to have a lot of fun! It is an university area with a lot of nice restaurants and bars/nightclubs. You take the metro and stop at the station Hongik uni. After spending a whole day with my new friends we went there to Hongdae and met mor…

These are just some of my favorite photos from the first leg of my world tour. Starting off with Japan, then Taiwan, Korea & China. This blog chronicles my travels over the first part of my adventure. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I do. :D

I never thought that training to become an english teacher could break someone...but oh did it.  You wake up at 6 am, on the bus by 7:50 then training until 3pm.  During those hours you get 15 minutes to find you something to eat.  After training you come home and study till about 2 …

My previous trip to South Korea, I spent a lot of time in Seoul, so this trip I only went once, namely to see a couple palaces that I hadn’t gotten a chance to see last trip. I definitely made the right choice last time though, because I happened to be able to see the Namdaemun Gate before it bur…

We hung out with Holly in her dong. It's a great place for shopping. But first we went near Taryn's dong for some expensive Indian food. (I Love Curry!) I guess I did do some face stuffing for Chu-suk... We saw a great funky lights and music drum show. In the middle of the show the lady starts …

      Among the few presents that  I got on christmas in Korea, this one was the best one by far. Thanks to the close freinds you make with the pilot community, I was given the chance to take a UH-60 Simulator for a ride.  After some basic instructions on how Heli…

A long day going home! Almost 1 hour taxi from Seoul to Incheon international airport, then upgraded to business class, a rare treat to myself so I can get some sleep on the airplane. During the transfer in Narita airport in Japan, I got a nice massage to kill 2 hours of the 4.5 hours. I recommend …

After a long journey of about 7 hours, we safely landed at Incheon International Airport (IIA). It did not manage to have a view of Malaysia & Korea as the plane flew at a level above the seas of clouds. Nevertheless I enjoy great meals & breakfast provided by MAS. Although an attempt to as…
