In a perfect world with no flight cancellations or delays, and where someone could hop from plane to plane within 15 minutes, how many countries can a person visit in the shortest possible time? Here's one possibility using July 2006 timetables.

Yay for holidays! Seollal, or the Lunar New Year, fell on Thursday the 7th this year so we got a five day weekend!  The problem with holidays in Korea is that there's always a mass exodus of people travelling to see their families.  Thankfully, we planned our trip so that we'd be hea…

Sun 25 January 2009 I was home for 2 ½ days and then back at O’Hare airport. Another long flight was ahead of me, but I was glad. I was really tired and cranky from running around and looked forward to a long sleep on the plane. Tim dropped my off and a couple hours later I boarded Asi…

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. However, the most memorable moments are the peaceful buddhist temples, the National Parks, spicy food (kimchi) and historical monuments in Chengju. A must visit destination in Asia.

We had a nice treat awaiting us in Asia.  One of our classmates from Michigan said he was unable to pick us up from the airport as originally planned, but instead had arranged for a night at a fiver star hotel which he apparently had a coupon to get for free.  As Ana and I walked in w…

My day out alone as Amanda has prior appointment. So I'm off to mission impossible. Surely will get more stares from the folks as I will be roaming on my own. But I have no fear. Can't remember how many thousand steps I took today but it was so worth it. Will pen more later.

2 months on the road: 2 US States visited, 4 countries visted...

We landed at the airport and collected our luggage. The airport is quite something (as airports go) with a cacti garden and incredible modern architecture that made you feel like you’d been transported 100 years into the future. It was also very quiet and with hardly anyone around. We hopped…

Last weekend Makeeya called me and requested my company at a tennis match near her dong in Olympic Park. How could I decline such a noble invitation? I brought my sunscreen, shades, and water and hopped on the metro for a 65 minute ride from my dong to Olympic Park. We ate breakfast there. Makeeya…

Fun around the world.
