Brawling in the Streets | This Is Korea

https://greginkorea.wordpress.com/2011/03/03/brawling-in-the-streets

My Life in the Land of the Morning Calm. March 3, 2011. Brawling in the Streets. Although I have drastically cut back on my alcohol consumption, I still find myself out on Bar Street from time to time. One of the things that has been most shocking about living in Gunsan is the number of fights in the streets and in the bars. There was a time where I’d see at least two fights a week. Korean girls pulling each other’s hair, G.I.s passed out and bleeding on the street, throwing drink...I’ve asked othe...

Some New Years Resolutions | This Is Korea

My Life in the Land of the Morning Calm. January 3, 2011. Some New Years Resolutions. So here’s a list of some 2011 resolutions. Finish off some of the things on my Korea to-do list. (e.g. seeing a Korean bullfight, temple stay and going to the DMZ). See new parts of the world before returning to New York. Keep running – do two more half-marathons either in Asia and North America. When in New York, find a job – reintegrate. Think hard about my future. Think hard about THE future.

My Life in the Land of the Morning Calm. January 16, 2011. Korea Gets Cold in the Winter. Nothing too surprising here really. It’s winter and it’s cold.

Hunger for the Drink | This Is Korea

https://greginkorea.wordpress.com/2011/01/29/hunger-for-the-drink

My Life in the Land of the Morning Calm. January 29, 2011. Hunger for the Drink. I remember one day in July. A monsoon rain was pouring down on Gunsan and instead of heading to the bars like I normally would, I decided to go to the bath-house. I did the normal routine of sauna, cold pool, hot tub, and as I sat in the hot tub I remember thinking that it rivalled a Jameson on the rocks for the best way to spend $6 on a Friday night. Bar Street; Naundong, Gunsan. food, beer, karaoke and computer games.

Where have I been? and A Korean Dream | This Is Korea

https://greginkorea.wordpress.com/2011/02/20/where-have-i-been-and-a-korean-dream

My Life in the Land of the Morning Calm. February 20, 2011. Where have I been? And A Korean Dream. I haven’t posted in a few weeks, but not because I’ve been super busy doing exciting things. I’ve written a couple of entries but I didn’t post them because one seemed too self-indulgent and the other was boring. Here are some highlights of the past few weeks:. Many friends have left Gunsan. We usually have a big dinner and go out drinking. It’s sad afterwards. I’ve been watching. She’s a great studen...

Korean Christmases | This Is Korea

https://greginkorea.wordpress.com/2010/12/27/korean-christmases

My Life in the Land of the Morning Calm. December 27, 2010. December 25, 1950. Somewhere above the 38th parallel. The Chinese came in with such energy and in such volume that in a few weeks the UN was forced to evacuate Pyongyang. And most of Korea north of the 38th parallel. The only good news for the UN was the spectacular breakout of surrounded US Marines from the Chosin Resevoir. Christmas for most soldiers on both sides was spent literally freezing in the cold. Many troops on both sides suffered...
