Today is a nice but hazy early spring day, so I decided to take in a little walk in my neighborhood. I saw the willows starting to ‘green up’ along the river (a very small trickle below the trees…) More of the same… I know this is a cluttered looking bunch of houses, but I [...]

I took this video this morning on my way to the Express Bus Terminal (where I take a bus to Gimje, a nearby town to teach…a 45 minute commute…). This isn’t that exciting a video to watch (other than for me to play with some new YouTube annotation toys…). BUT, I think it shows how [...]
A few extra pictures

These are a few shots that I haven’t had a chance to put up on this blog…. this is the view directly out of my office window at work (Gimje Middle School) looking directly south. This is the view I have looking out of my kitchen window (looking to the north east). This is the [...]

Here are some more small details if life here in Jeonju. First I have a few more views of some of my local streets. This picture was taken at the regional terminal for the Express Bus Terminal (I use the local terminal…). This is just a random shot across the street. This rather busy shot [...]

I have some pictures of the general area to the south of my apartment. This neighborhood is near the bus station I go to to commute to Gimje for work every weekday (the Express Bus Terminal). While a quite busy area (these pictures were taken early on a Sunday morning), this neighborhood is also a [...]
This really got my attention…

When I first arrived at my home here in Jeonju, I spent some time walking around the general neighborhood and passed this on the street. If you look at the top of this sign you can see a swastika. From my time spent (rather fruitlessly) watching WWII movies when I was young, this symbol caught [...]
Life in Korea, some of the first things…

Some of the most obvious things you could notice upon arriving in Korea is that driving styles are wildly different that back in the USA (with the exception of downtown Boston…maybe). Driving in America is based on everyone following the laws as rigid, tangible things. In Korea, road laws are dealt with as if they [...]

This is a view of my apartment on the first day I arrived there. This shows the general set up of my apartment for the last several weeks now…
My Bathroom…

a quick overview of my bathroom There are many small things that are different here in Korea. My bathroom is as good a place to start as any. My apartment is actually quite ingenious as to it’s use of the small amount of space I have. You may be able to see from the video [...]
