- Skydiving in South Korea 2010, May 21, Fri
People have been emailing me to ask if I know of anywhere they can go skydiving in South Korea. Sadly, I don't. But there has to be a place to do that. I was able to fly a plane in South Korea so I figure there's probably a place where you can jump out of one. If anyone reading knows of a place, let us know in the comments and we'll share it with everyone! - Lantern Festival for Buddha’s Birthday in Dongdaemun, Seoul, South Korea 2010, April 14, Wed
These pictures are from the 2009 Lantern Festival around Dongdaemun in Seoul. I took these back in April of 2009, my third month living in South Korea. The Lantern Festival is a celebration for Buddha’s Birthday, which is a really big deal in a lot of Asian countries. Buddha's Birthday falls on May 21st and, according to wikipedia, many temples offer free food and tea to all visitors on this day. This year (2010), the parade will be held on May 16th from 7pm-9:30pm. Get more information here: http://www.llf.or.kr/eng/03introduce/introduce.asp To get to the festival, I took the Seoul Subway to the Jongno-3 Station and followed the huge crowds. The parade was by the shopping district in Dongdaemun. If you go to the Lantern Festival, let us know what you thought about it in the comments!!! - Drinking Green Tea in Gyeongju, South Korea 2010, March 29, Mon
I love tea. I grew up having tea parties with the ladies in my family, and whether at home, in the backyard, or at high teas at hotels, I love the experience. Of course, tea is an integral part of Korean culture, so I was eager to try the "Traditional Korean Tea Experience" when I visited Expo Park in Gyeongju. How much was the tea? 5 000 won per person. What was the Korean Traditional Tea Service like? The tea room was on the upper floor of the Culture Centre. While it is very open and has a rather cold-contemporary-gallery-feel to it, I quite enjoyed the table settings and the traditional Korean house backdrop, as well as the display of all the teas/pots/dishes. The girl behind the cashier served the tea. She was wearing a sweatshirt. I don't know exactly what I was expecting from a "traditional" tea experience, but a young girl serving tea in sweats didn't seem to match. But, I did enjoy the green tea nonetheless, and it was a lovely part of my trip to Gyeongju. Link to photo 1 L...

Earlier this week, I licked my upper lip at a random moment and discovered a small but noticeable lump on it. Curious, I licked again to make sure I hadn't hallucinated the lump. Its existence now confirmed, I lumbered over to the bathroom mirror and took a good look:Yup. A zit. On my fucking lip.I didn't want to lance the zit with a needle; if I stabbed too deeply and the damn thing bled, I'd leave a mark that would be visible to my students the following day. So instead of doing that, I tried popping the zit with my fingers. In the taxonomy of zittage, this one would have been classified as Prominent, but with almost no whitehead. Sometimes that sort of zit is the most rewarding to pop: you squeeze it from different directions, feeling the pain build, watching the whitehead get bigger and bigger as more pus nears the surface, and then finally there's this gratifying pop-- more felt than heard. If you've done it right, the zit's guts splat on the mirror like ejaculate, and yo... - at the TEF blog 2012, May 17, Thu

I'll be honest -- I am happy to have taken a vacation in the last two weeks, as the UPP debacle was going down. Writing a post about it would have burned me to no end, but thankfully I was spared of that task. But now that I am back, MH's finest Korean politics coverage [...]...
