The Travels of 보정 (Bo-Jeong). An exploration of things mystical and meaningless around South Korea. October 9, 2011. I wander through my morning routine of shower and breakfast and dressing in a semi conscious daze. I am still in a dream. these are automatic movements that require no thought. Just action. Slow and deliberate. I hate it when I sleep in. It has happened a lot lately. I am back into exercise again. At least this week. Next week? Tonight as I walk over the Han River there are no people, few ...

The Travels of 보정 (Bo-Jeong). An exploration of things mystical and meaningless around South Korea. June 18, 2011. The week was particularly slow. I was doing a make up week for the time I was away in Toronto. On Tuesday, Meghan phoned and asked me to come to head office for the balance of the week. After I hung up I realized we would have to inform those few die hard students who are coming that I would not be there. I phoned Clara to make that happen. Mistake! They all ask. Of course! This morning I am...

I shared this quote with my students today. Their dream, of improving their English, is doable. I told them this. It is true. And it is my job. I do not know if this message had any impact on my students but it impressed my boss. So the day was won, regardless. Inwangsan, Assassins, Rain and Lattes. September 24, 2010. This is a big...

The Travels of 보정 (Bo-Jeong). An exploration of things mystical and meaningless around South Korea. The Long Slow Plod into Winter. November 20, 2011. Anyhow, now that the pain of paying is over and it is cold out, it was all worth it. They are just bite size for my wide mouth. And the frozen ones snap between my teeth with a most gratifying crackle. But. The disturbing thing is I have a very difficult time restraining myself from eating the entire box in one go! Why is everything so good so bad for you?
