Korea served up spicy. Sunday, September 23, 2007. Escape from the neon nights. The lights are blinding, the options overwhelming, yet somehow this city presses on, buzzes with pride to the extra everything. People do smile in Seoul. And they laugh. And they pray. We came down and eventually found Insadong, a neighborhood that preserves a little more of the old Seoul and a little less of the skyscrapers. And just as I was feeling bad about not finding any vegetarian food, we wandered through a charmi...

Jonc's Blog: Hello from Korea!
http://joncs.blogspot.com/2007/09/hello-from-korea.html
Korea served up spicy. Tuesday, September 18, 2007. How do I begin to describe this crazy world of neon crosses (yes, those are for churches)? Well, hardly anyone speaks English, and most of the menus have only Korean characters. Observe:. I actually don't know what that means. I just copied and pasted it from Google's homepage. Every time I go to a Web site here, EVEN Google, these characters magically appear where I used to find English. I think 웹문서. Might mean "search.". Google.com in English. I know ...

Korea served up spicy. Friday, September 21, 2007. First night on the (international) town; back to base at midnight. So Sam and I find a cute little Thai restaurant and I get to eat an entirely vegetarian meal that I got to pick from an ENGLISH menu. I've been working on the Korean alphabet, "Hanguel," but I've only just finished learning how to pronounce the letters. Basically, I still only know like five words of Korean. Brilliant, yet bizarre. We finally found the only English teacher in the bar,...

Korea served up spicy. Friday, September 14, 2007. The sexy celebrity version of me! Ahem, not that I'm into the CW or anything, but I found myself. Sort of. Really. Doesn't he sort of look like me back when I had better hair? Well, his name is Bret Harrison and he's the star of the new CW show "The Reaper.". You can see his IMBD profile here. Sadly, I have to admit that our shared alikeness depends on the angle. But hey, maybe somebody will ask me for an autograph? At 9:17 PM Permalink.

Korea served up spicy. Monday, October 15, 2007. So the children like candy. They REALLY like candy. A Smattering of Classes. They scream. Oh, those angsty middle school boys scream. Loud! They screamed so loud, in fact, that Eden, my not-so-friendly barely-speaks-English Korean teacher next door came and yelled at them to shut up. At least I think that's how the Korean translates. Who wants to answer the question? Yawn You'll get CANDY! My hand was up first! These kids are "Classic Korea." I give th...

Korea served up spicy. Tuesday, August 28, 2007. For all of you pervs who have crushes on Zac Efron, might I suggest you follow this link. In case you don't know him:. He was in that thing called High School Musical. Don't know much else, except that he's the current "it" boy for tweeny girls. Teeheehee. At 4:03 PM Permalink. Links to this post.

Jonc's Blog: First friends, first students
http://joncs.blogspot.com/2007/09/first-friends-first-students.html
Korea served up spicy. Saturday, September 29, 2007. First friends, first students. 1) (a little belated). En route to sanity, one of many first priorities: find (English speaking) friends quickly. En route to reality, one of many first realizations: this may take awhile. Temporary solution? And now you're in our mindset. After a few awkward smiles and pauses, he turns to introduce himself and offer Sam and I some of his Absolute. We quickly learn two things: Koreans LOVE to be good bar hosts (as in ...
