Karori to Korea: Barely Travelling
http://karoritokorea.blogspot.com/2012/10/barely-travelling.html
Tuesday, October 16, 2012. I'm not sure if it's laziness or Jecheon being not quite as sucky as Buan or poverty or what, but Tom and I have several more weekends at 'home' than we are used to, and we haven't really done much. It's actually kinda nice but we broke up the repetition by taking a trip to Cheongpung. It was pretty nice too, although has the standard Korean mix of gorgeous natural beauty with ugly-ass manmade grossness. CF:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Anna and Tom used to teach Englis...

Karori to Korea: September 2013
http://karoritokorea.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 25, 2013. It's taken me too long between posts again, but whatever! Before Tom jetted off to Mexico we went to Thailand for 10 days and spent most of it on Koh Phangan (the time not spent on Koh Phangan was travelling to and from our house and the island! We've been to Thailand before but this was our first time on Phangan - home of the full moon party and a bunch of Australians in fluoro. We opted out of staying at Haad Rin, the main beach, instead booking at Thong Yang Bungalows.

Karori to Korea: The Steph Face - 6 Months In
http://karoritokorea.blogspot.com/2011/03/steph-face-6-months-in.html
Friday, March 4, 2011. The Steph Face - 6 Months In. A craze swept the nation right before I left New Zealand. Inspired by one of the worst ID photographs of all time, people contorted their faces into an expression known as the Steph Face. Now, the Steph face has gone global. Here's proof:. The Great Wall of China. Eating Bugs in Beijing. Traditional Steph Faces in Jeonju. North Seoul Tower Steph Faces. Guest Steph Faces - Tiananmen Square, Beijing. This picture sits pride of place on our fridge.

Karori to Korea: Back to it.
http://karoritokorea.blogspot.com/2013/09/back-to-it.html
Thursday, September 12, 2013. On the first day of June, Tom and I hosted the first of four Come Dine with Me. Also in June we were lucky enough to be visited by not one, not two but THREE people. First to stop in was Tom's Dad, Martin, who managed to score bargain return trip tickets through Grabaseat and visited for about ten days. He mostly hung out in Jecheon seeing a few sights but we ventured to Seoul during the weekends. A highlight was seeing The Garden of Morning Calm. The four of us (Tom, Steph,...

Karori to Korea: May 2013
http://karoritokorea.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 31, 2013. It's kinda weird for me that I first wrote. This is the view from the office - my co-teachers desks and the school field. For the first 6 weeks of my employment, the kids gathered here every day and sang and danced to Gangnam Style. It was hell. My desk has a delightful view of shelves stacked with books I have never seen anyone even touch. The yellow cushion on my chair plugs into a USB port on my computer and heats up! Do a Vulcan Hand Salute or their favourite - Batman faces!

Karori to Korea: Stuff and Things
http://karoritokorea.blogspot.com/2013/04/stuff-and-things.html
Thursday, April 18, 2013. I've kinda dropped out of this blogging malarkey. Not that I've been hugely busy - I have been busy though, doing courses part-time online, dealing with my co-teacher going on maternity leave and training her replacement, maintaining a social life - but busy in Korea isn't anything like busy in other parts of the world. We stayed in the Jongno area - cheap love motels, history, street food - and hit up my favourite touristy spots. We went to Insadong and Ssamziegil. Fourth pictu...

Wednesday, May 4, 2011. Belated and Obligatory Spring Blossom Photo Post. As my kids learned last week, Korea had four seasons (Okay, they learned how to say it in English), and we're finally out of HORRIBLE winter and in to gorgeous spring.

Karori to Korea: A Flower Through Concrete
http://karoritokorea.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-flower-through-concrete.html
Thursday, April 25, 2013. A Flower Through Concrete. Anyway, the best thing about spring is undoubtedly the blossoms. In Buan we had to go to Gimje. To see them, but Jecheon's main street is lined with beautiful, petal-laden trees. Cheongpung Lake. Is also ringed with cherry blossom trees - we were going to visit over the weekend, but it rained on Saturday and then when a ten minute bus ride took thirty minutes because of insane traffic, we decided to just appreciate the flowers near our apartment instead.
