25 months in Seoul, South Korea. Sunday, March 02, 2008. Cafes in Seoul that I love.(in Korean). Over the summer I made a presentation to my Sogang Korean language class on my favorite cafes in Seoul. Seoul has a great cafe culture- people spend hours and hours just sitting and chilling with friends over an iced green tea latte or slice of cheesecake. (Can nobody make a green tea latte. Like they do in Seoul? Since I've been back in the US I've ordered about 4 and they're just not the same.). PS I agree ...

25 months in Seoul, South Korea. Friday, August 04, 2006. Korean "Summer Dress Code". Now that the swelteringly hot weather of Korean August has arrived, the newspapers have been putting out articles about dressing for the heat. Let me rephrase "dressing for the heat". Dressing to avoid offending people, despite the heat. From the Korea Times, "Dress Properly, or Donâ t Complain of Stares". By Korean college student Park Yu-rie. She complains that every day, ". She continues, ". In America, as shown below.

25 months in Seoul, South Korea. Sunday, June 25, 2006. Korea's Last World Cup Game. Saturday morning. 4 AM! We were ready the night before. Went to this really good kalbi place, you can get the beef for only $7, including all the sides. It's located near Yonsei, behind TGIF's. Kaila is showing off her strong, un-Korean-girl bicep. The bar we went to was MORE expensive for World Cup night! Cocktails, beers, and shots were twice the price. That's okay, we're happy anyway. Ah it's Sunday already! Cultural ...

25 months in Seoul, South Korea. Friday, June 04, 2010. It's hard to believe it's been three years since I last visited Korea. So much has happened since then, and I'm amazed to find myself a second-year medical student. Looking back at posts like this. Helps to remind me of all of my experiences in Korea, and why I chose to become a doctor. Through Yale. Kaila is back to work with an adoption agency. And find her roots as an adoptee in Korea. Here are their blogs. I wish them luck! Sorry, I deleted the ...

25 months in Seoul, South Korea. Friday, August 31, 2007. Why your phone service should be SKT. My last weeks in Korea went by like a blur. So cliched, but so true. Honestly, I've been putting off a blog entry because just thinking about making a written record of the past few weeks makes my head hurt. So for 8 days I went on a tour of Korea sponsored by SK Telecom. It's actually called ë í ë ë ê í . and is the 3rd annual trip of its kind. ë í means culture, and ê í means trip. Or a traditional Korean ho...

25 months in Seoul, South Korea. Wednesday, June 14, 2006. In the past week I've noticed a gradual buildup of red. Until everything finally EXPLODED last night. Huge crowds gathered all around Seoul to watch the Korean team's World Cup game against Togo, a country that was competing for its first time. We went to the district of Gwanghwamun, where multiple giant television screens showed the game from sides of tall buildings, and spectators were either standing or sitting on newspapers. Even my Korean te...

25 months in Seoul, South Korea. Wednesday, August 02, 2006. Gwoemul", or "The Host". I'm generally not a fan of "Godzilla" monster type movies. But with all the hype about the Korean-made movie "Gwaemul", its breaking of Korean box office records. And its international popularity at the Cannes Film Festival in France (it was called "the hottest title at this year's Cannes Film Festival"), I decided to give it a try. It was my first time in a Korean movie theater watching a Korean movie. no subtitles!

25 months in Seoul, South Korea. Wednesday, July 05, 2006. Proud to Be an Oversized American. The 4th of July in Korea is not a big deal at all. Although Kim Jong Il's missile launch was pretty audacious timing. None of the above. Actually, it means:. Cafes named "America". Restaurants telling you "We have English menu for you welcome! Offices specializing in "marriage translation" and passports/visas for bringing your new bride home. Welcome to Korea" archway. Actually, we had to order two "Family sized...

25 months in Seoul, South Korea. Tuesday, July 03, 2007. Cultural lessons from my Sogang language teachers. Sogang University campus in Sinchon, Seoul. For the most part, on weekday mornings I look forward to walking to Sogang campus, grabbing some breakfast, and going to Korean class. We're always discussing an interesting topic- today the issue was genetic engineering. We started off by watching a clip of The Island. 1 What's up with "Korean time" (being soooooo late)? Koreans generally have a relaxed ...
