Ju Won, master of ceremonies. The best boys this side of the Yeongsan River. View all posts by Jim →. Naju-si, Jeollanam-do,.

Monday, April 18, 2011. This past weekend, a group of friends and I went up to Seoul to attend the annual Cherry Blossom festival, a popular Spring event that attracts thousands of visitors. For many East Asian countries, the blooming of the Cherry Blossom tree officially marks the beginning of the new season, and numerous festivals take place all over the region:.

Josh is Abroad: The Big "G" in "HK"
http://joshisabroad.blogspot.com/2011/01/big-g-in-hk.html
Sunday, January 30, 2011. The Big "G" in "HK". To put things in perspective, I spent more money that night than I did during the past 6 days in Mumbai. Granted, room and board were covered by Rahul's relatives in India, but Hong Kong is by no means a cheap place. Sanam, her friend Vrishant, and yours truly. Comparative to India, of course.). To put things into perspective: A view of Hong Kong's skyline, circa 1986. A view of Hong Kong's skyline, circa 2009. I went to my first horse race! I also visited L...

Josh is Abroad: February 2011
http://joshisabroad.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 20, 2011. My Life as a Korean High School Student. Greetings from Goesan, South Korea! Goesan, the site of my orientation back in July, is my new home for the month of February. I'm back at Jungwon University, also known as the "marble palace," a moniker myself and my fellow ETAs dubbed this ostentatious stone monument to education. The Marble Palace, July 2010. In case you forgot what it looked like. What does this mean in laments terms? Program, including tuition, room, and board. ...

http://joshisabroad.blogspot.com/2011/05/take-me-out-to-ball-game.html
Monday, May 2, 2011. Take Me Out to the Ball Game. Last weekend, I attended my first Korean baseball game.

After a modest 7,000 won entrance fee (roughly $6.56) we found our seats at Gwangju Mudeung Stadium:. Other than a distinct difference in player quality, and a lack of pea...

Josh is Abroad: December 2010
http://joshisabroad.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 15, 2010. Dear South Korea: We need to talk. I guess now is a better time than any to finally articulate some of the issues I have with our relationship in its current state:.
