Dog & Chips: March 2009

http://dogandchips.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

Monday, March 30, 2009. Ajumas roam Korea in packs. The high class ladies wear visors over there faces when the sun is shining down on them or any means to shade their precious skin. The whiter your face, the more beautiful you are in Korean culture. It's a sign that you don't work the land and are rarely outdoors. The working Ajumas work the fields or any plot of land they spot. Most are bent over permanently from working on crop fields. They are a force to be reckoned with. Beware of the Ajuma. Aaaand ...

Dog & Chips: Jimjilbang - The Naked Truth

http://dogandchips.blogspot.com/2009/05/jimjilbang-naked-truth.html

Tuesday, May 26, 2009. Jimjilbang - The Naked Truth. For my Birthday. Ashley, Caitlin and Kaisa brought me to the Korean Jimjilbang. Which is the naked hot-tub and sauna spa. A tad arkward at first, it ended up being a great way to nurse my Sunday hang-over. Once you excepted the nakedness, it was perfect, so relaxing and refreshing. If you want a massage, mud mask, full body scrub or hot stone treatment, you can pay extra Won for this. The ladies giving the massages in the back look scary. They ...Url=h...

Dog & Chips: Baseball Game.:.Gwangju Kia Tigers

http://dogandchips.blogspot.com/2009/05/baseball-gamegwangju-kia-tigers.html

Tuesday, May 12, 2009. Baseball Game.:.Gwangju Kia Tigers. Secondly, they told me that Baseball games aren't generally as packed, we had to stand because the stadium was teeming with people. Apparently there's no fire codes in Korea so they just keep selling endless tickets and letting more and more people squash in. And taking in the sun. I think I'd like to experience my next game. post-Asia. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). GWANGJU, South Korea. I dont plan on trying Dog while in South Korea!

Dog & Chips: June 2009

http://dogandchips.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html

Wednesday, June 3, 2009. I'm gonna miss Korea, even though Korea and I have a love/hate relationship. Mostly I'm gonna miss Shane who will be here until November and then coming to Ireland for a short European adventure with me before he heads home to Texas for Thanksgiving, which he is already extremely excited for! I don't want this to be a sad post! A slight rip off from Ashley's Blog but I feel the same so here goes:. The price of cheese. The smell of fish everywhere. The smell of sewerage everywhere.

Dog & Chips: Special Lockers @ E-Mart

http://dogandchips.blogspot.com/2009/05/special-lockers-e-mart.html

Tuesday, May 12, 2009. Special Lockers @ E-Mart. So even though I've been here 6 months and I've shopped in E-Mart weekly, I've only just noticed the special lockers by the door. There is a line of lockers where you can put your bag while you shop (which I've used) BUT as you get to the end there are "special lockers" with transparent doors and airholes. With closer inspection they have pictures of puppies on them and some Korean writing. Dog Lockers for when your shopping! GWANGJU, South Korea.

Tuesday, April 21, 2009. Korean Easter. Assah! Kelly invited the girls over to hers for some Easter crafts after work on the Friday of Easter weekend.

While drinking red wine. of course! Ooooh also my Mam sent me a big package with "real" easter eggs from Ireland. What a legend! Links to this post. Links to this post. Links to this post.

Dog & Chips: November 2008

http://dogandchips.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html

Friday, November 28, 2008. So today Shane and I joined a local Korean Gym called Hankook. Gym Well more like a "bodybuilder gym". One of the guys working there recognised Shane from the last time he was in checking it out and calls Shane Mr. Texas! The other guy that works there HAS to be on steroids, actually alot. The sign for Hankook. Obviously the reason for joining! Firstly the treadmills have a constant incline on them so I was pretty much running up hill for 20 mins. This one ripped man was asking...

Wednesday, May 27, 2009. Last weekend, ten of us. Shane, Justin, Caitlin, Matt, Ashley, Kelly, Kelsey, Jesse, Lucas and me went on a beach trip to Sinji-Do beach.

Dog & Chips: February 2009

http://dogandchips.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

Tuesday, February 24, 2009. David Dralle (aka Dralle Drama) finally called and it was great to see a familiar face. We met up with Dralle and his friend Nick and headed for dinner. We had some pork stew thing and laughed at each other everytime we spoke any Korean. It was funny to see Dralle but not be at Frost valley! After dinner we went to the boys apartment, had a few beers and then headed downtown in Daejeon to some Christmas themed bar called 'The Santa Claus'. Yes I know. VERY random! When we arri...
