http://www.battered-suitcases.com/2015/05/spring-at-hwaseong-fortress
Travel Stories Expat Life. May 9, 2015. Spring at Hwaseong Fortress. Suwon’s crown jewel. A few weeks ago, Mike and I headed over to Hwaseong Fortress. On a pleasant spring afternoon. I wanted to visit Suwon’s crown jewel tourist attraction while the cherry blossoms were still sticking around. The fortress was built between 1794 – 1796 and is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. We enjoyed the views, walked along the walls, rang the bell, watched a beautiful traditional dance, and then finally hopped on the...

Travel Stories Expat Life. May 13, 2015. Welcome to Mr. Toilet House. In celebration of sh*t. Last week, we had a day off from work in honor of Childrens Day. I must say, the children here really deserve the holiday. All of my students put in a full day at school and then attend a few extra classes at varying academies in the evening. It’s also not uncommon for these kids to attend Saturday classes as well. Special festivities for Childrens Day. It all goes back to a former mayor, Sim Jae-Duck. Inside, t...

Travel Stories Expat Life. August 11, 2015. Nami Island or Falling in Love with a Korean Drama. Last month, Mike and I were trying to take advantage of the sunny days before rainy season hit. We did our best to get out on the weekends and enjoy the sunny weather. Turns out, the rainy season didn’t really come this year. There were a few wet ones, but not the nonstop rain for days on end that usually occurs. One Saturday, our destination was Nami Island. From the Sky Bike! More Sky Bike scenes. In additio...

February 2015 - Battered Suitcases
http://www.battered-suitcases.com/2015/02
Travel Stories Expat Life. Archives for February 2015. February 15, 2015. Yesterday Mike and I got back from a 10 day trip to Nicaragua. Despite a little food poisoning, it was fantastic! I brought my Fuji Instax camera with me but only remembered to pull it out a few times. These photos from Laguna de Apoyo were my favorite. It’s always fun to see how the photos will turn out considering that the film is about 4 years old. More Nicaragua to come. PS Old Instax posts here. February 2, 2015.

Travel Stories Expat Life. April 14, 2015. Cherry Blossoms in Bucheon. Cherry blossom season was highly anticipated around here. My entire route to work is lined on both sides with cherry trees so I had a convenient vantage point to gauge their progress. This past weekend Mike and I headed up to Bucheon to check out the azalea festival ( see it. And came across some gorgeous cherry blossoms as well. Of course, we couldn’t resist crossing the street to stroll up and down the scenic walkway.
