http://schoolofrok.blogspot.com/2009/08/ahnyoungheegaeseyo-or-last-hanbok-in.html
Friday, August 14, 2009. Ahnyoungheegaeseyo: Or, the Last Hanbok in Incheon. Well, folks, it seems we've come to the end: the 333rd and final installment of School of ROK. Two years, five foster dogs, and 18 Airport Limousine rides later, we're headed to Edinburgh, Scotland. You can follow our continuing exploits at The Educated Burgher. We'll continue to reply to questions posted in the comments threads, so feel free to ask anything you like about our archived posts. Before we go, though, a final tale.

School of ROK: The Glory of the Noraebang
http://schoolofrok.blogspot.com/2008/04/glory-of-noraebang.html
Sunday, April 27, 2008. The Glory of the Noraebang. Still sitting on some Japan pics, but with parent-teacher conferences and the aftermath of the trip (read: 8 hours of sleep per night for a week), it's been tough to find time. Of course, our utter musical hedonism this weekend didn't really help. This marked our first noraebang. In related news, Nana has scored a cult hit among the coworkers with her rendition of Europe. S " The Final Countdown. Rated as VH1's " Most Awesomely Bad Metal Song Ever.

School of ROK: Shanghai: Zhujiajiao Water Village
http://schoolofrok.blogspot.com/2009/07/shanghai-zhujiajiao-water-village.html
Saturday, July 11, 2009. Shanghai: Zhujiajiao Water Village. Shanghai isn't all urban glitz: many of the outlying towns are still very traditional. The old center of Zhujiajiao. For instance, has been painstakingly preserved as an example of a Chinese "water village," or canal town. The town was built on a river delta about 1,700 years ago, then rebuilt several times over the centuries. The natural waterways of the delta have all been channeled to serve as the town's main "roads," a la Venice. Itaewon Gl...

School of ROK: Shipping shenanigans
http://schoolofrok.blogspot.com/2009/07/shipping-shenanigans.html
Tuesday, July 7, 2009. Last year we had some stupid problems with our shipment coming to Korea, when the company left it in the warehouse for four weeks instead of shipping it to us and then tried to bill us for the weeks of storage. So we determined that this time, we'd try to be as thorough as possible, and have a shenanigan-free shipping experience. Choice 1) pay ludicrous fee and get on with life. Choice 2) travel with 900 pounds of luggage, paying ludicrous airline fees. Choice 5) set fire to all it...

School of ROK: Movin' on out
http://schoolofrok.blogspot.com/2009/07/movin-on-out.html
Monday, July 6, 2009. Apologies for the sparse blogging. We're in the midst of move-out and things are alternately so hectic we can't blog and so dead we can't bring ourselves to do anything but recover. It's run, run, run, and then play video games for four hours straight to anesthetize our brains. So that this post won't be a total waste of space - I was ruminating on this end-of-year stress in the context of a topic called allostatic load. Another study found that both male and female teachers sufferi...

Friday, May 29, 2009. Y, Justin and I attended the 7th Seoul International Rice Cake Festival. A few weekends back. Here are some shots from the exhibition (as opposed to the other post, about people in weird costumes outside the exhibition). Traditionally, rice cake is made by whacking the dough with a hammer, Mario-style. From the rice cake competition:. Namdaemun Gate, rice-cake style:. A rice-cake pond of turtles:. Coworker Meghan and I try our hands at some rice cake-ing:. Here's the thing: the more...

In Pursuit of Pavements...: September 2014
http://inpursuitofpavements.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
In Pursuit of Pavements. A journey from here to wherever 'there' is! Monday, 15 September 2014. Say NO to waiting. If you know me, and I mean really know me, then you’ll know that I dislike 3 things in life. Waiting, long goodbyes and waiting for long goodbyes. At the moment I feel like all I am doing is waiting, and especially waiting for goodbyes, which funnily enough makes them LONG. Am I making the wrong decision? Should I just stay here and pursue other interests? 8230;No, no you are not. As you can...

In Pursuit of Pavements. A journey from here to wherever 'there' is! Monday, 25 August 2014. Wow, what a week it has been. I am pleased to say that I have now entered the next stage of my TEFL experience and am therefore one step closer to moving to South Korea. Whoooopi! Let me tell you about it. Not about Whoopi Goldberg silly. Next on the list was notarising my degree. ‘Whats that Sarah? 8217; I hear you all ask with anticipation and wonderment. Well, let me tell you.as I intend to teach in So...In or...

The digital and actual paperwork is through, and we are officially (going to be) On Our Way! To Korea. Again.
