Churchill Does Asia: August 2008
http://churchilldoesasia.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 25, 2008. Last weekend a group of a few of us went to this island named Wando, where we spent most of the day at the beach, listening to Korean men and women scream at waves about 2 feet tall. Wait, WE play taxman? I looked at MIke. I don't know how to play Taxman. Me:"No, I can't play taxman.",. Him: "Ohhhh.you go on stage! Me: "What do I say? Him: "You go on stage! The last picture shows the comedian dancing. I'm not sure if this is before or after he decided to kiss me. Other pictures i...

Dash Does Kathmandu: June 2009
http://dashdoeskathmandu.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
At the Last Minute. So just as I was starting to think (ok worry) that the guys at work were gonna let me go with completely no fanfare at all, Mohan busted in on me and Khem during a meeting this morning and told him to make sure he was free at 6pm tonight for a party for Rob. I said, "what's happening at 6? Mohan took a step back, and goes, "you understood me? Yeah, my Nepali's not that bad. Come on, I've been here for a year. What's going on? We are organising a program for you tonight.". I had the mo...

Dash Does Kathmandu: September 2008
http://dashdoeskathmandu.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
The second thing that I needed to talk about was the field trip I went on Saturday. As it goes with these things, I was invited late on Thursday afternoon. So, cancelling all my very important engagements, including a relay marathon run, a nice lunch with a colleague and yet another Hash I committed myself immediately. From there, they would go to refraction, and have their refraction measured. I'm not entirely sure of the point of this, as usually a cataract makes you partially or totally bl...My rol...

Dash Does Kathmandu: Dear Dot Dot Dot...
http://dashdoeskathmandu.blogspot.com/2009/06/dear-dot-dot-dot.html
Dear Dot Dot Dot. Charpi, thanks for the good times buddy. When I eventually leave, I will mention to the landloard that maybe you should be retired or at least fixed. Its nothing personal, but really, wetting yourself and the bathroom every time you don't been so good gets old. Ganga, thanks for helping to improve my Nepali tirelessly and explaining what all the bandh's are about. And thanks for the political insights. I will always remember the Ilam First Flush. Mohan, no I'm not finished. Not yet.

Dash Does Kathmandu: April 2009
http://dashdoeskathmandu.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
I Dread What Will Happen Next. Perhaps its an inbuilt function that we rebel against our parents. But then, I have done many of those things (not the tattoo) mentioned with no second thought to what my parents taught or wanted from me. Did they put the idea in my head, or would I have done it anyway? I dread to think what I will do next. Tuesday, April 28, 2009. Took us 6 hours to realise that the driver didn't know there was supposed to be oil in the car]. No child, its my camera]. Singing in the Clouds.

Churchill Does Asia: Peep Jousting is Sweet
http://churchilldoesasia.blogspot.com/2009/04/peep-jousting-is-sweet.html
Thursday, April 16, 2009. Peep Jousting is Sweet. As those good Christians out there have already figured out, Easter was on Sunday. Of course, I almost forgot, until my wonderful Mema sent me a Easter package full of goodies. Included in this package- other than some chrontron bunny ears- were my one time nemeses: Marshmellow Peeps. Now, I know what some of you idiots are thinking out there; "I love Peeps!

Churchill Does Asia: March 2009
http://churchilldoesasia.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 8, 2009. Animals Coffee = Weird. Well, it's finally happened. Korea has reached a new high with an idea that could make any struggling country rich in tourism, such as a young French Polynesia, or even France. We shall start with the entryway. It is subtle, to say the least. Once you've tossed the ugly ones aside, you can move on to your table, and grab the small cute ones and place them on your lap. An opportune time for pictures. This is Pebbles. Mike really took a liking to her.

Churchill Does Asia: A Trifecta of Korean Cultural Documentaries
http://churchilldoesasia.blogspot.com/2008/11/korean-documentary-duo.html
Thursday, November 6, 2008. A Trifecta of Korean Cultural Documentaries. 1) The No-legged Homeless Man. Above is an example of the common Korean beggar. If you're thinking I'm culturally insensitive, think again, I didn't take the picture. Usually, the men also have a matching scooter to hold an amplifier playing traditional Korean music. The weirdest thing about this behavior, is that ALL male Gwangju beggars have chosen this as their fail-safe method of collecting funds. With a phenomenon as popular as...

Churchill Does Asia: Hanguk Sans
http://churchilldoesasia.blogspot.com/2008/12/hanguk-sans.html
Friday, December 5, 2008. This is a view out of the cave. The buddhism ran thick at Seoraksan. So much so that they built one the size of a small building at the base of the trails. It had a nice presence. Although this post has been centered mostly around Seoraksan, I've really only been there once. Most of my time hiking has been around these parts:.
