relative geography: November 2006
http://relativegeography.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Jim and Becka go down the road. Waaay down the road. Sunday, November 19, 2006. A Pop Culture Moment: 동방신기 vs. 개그 Concert. A few weeks ago, we saw this skit playing on a store's TV, and a crowd gathered to watch. This skit featured a guest appearance by one of Korea's biggest boybands, "Dongbangshingi" (often called "DBSK" or "TVXQ" in English). The premise of the sketch was a recurring one, where fashion trends are sent up by two of the regular actors, usually dressed in outlandish things. To see it in ...

Jim and Becka go down the road. Waaay down the road. Sunday, October 29, 2006. Vanity post of absolutely no consequence. This is me and Jim sitting in front of the computer this afternoon. And this was after some more time in front of the computer. Posted by Becka Barker at Sunday, October 29, 2006. Monday, October 23, 2006. You know that episode of the Simpsons, where they go to China? Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to finally present part one in our three part series, "Jim and Becka go to China".

Jim and Becka go down the road. Waaay down the road. Sunday, July 16, 2006. We'll finally be making our first trip up to Seoul in two weeks' time. We'll be travelling with our pals Nicole (and her daughter, Little Nicole), spending two nights with Jim's old friend Yvon (and his wife Michelle), and catching up with Franz Ferdinand! So in a couple weeks, we'll finally have some new travels to tell you about. Whee! Meanwhile, we made another trip to Busan recently to see their amazing aquarium. 2) We're wat...

relative geography: June 2006
http://relativegeography.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Jim and Becka go down the road. Waaay down the road. Tuesday, June 20, 2006. You can't escape it. Red is everywhere. With only one game left to go in the first round (against Switzerland), it feels like the entire country is on pins and needles. Exhibit A: The official songs. Psy's "We Are the One". Buzz's "Reds Go Together". Exhibit B: The official dance. Mom, note the liberal use of jazz square! Exhibit C: The sand animation "trailer'. Exhibit D: The attire. Exhibit E: The kindergarteners at breaktime.

Jim and Becka go down the road. Waaay down the road. Saturday, April 29, 2006. Third Session Coming Up. Pink Farmer Guitar Doodlery. I love it here but am feeling a bit homesick, I miss my buds and family, and I miss the country. Maybe there's a country retreat where I can go. Hope all is well wherever you are. Posted by Becka Barker at Saturday, April 29, 2006. Wednesday, April 26, 2006. A Little More of Gyeongju. Also from that trip a couple weeks back. Heather in the driver's seat and Jim in the helmet.

relative geography: May 2006

Jim and Becka go down the road. Waaay down the road. Wednesday, May 24, 2006. So, it's local election time in the ROK. On May 31st, Koreans will vote for their mayors, local governors, local councils, and something called "heads of local autonomous administrative bodies" (still not quite sure what that is). What this means in practical terms is, small armies of those adorable Daewoo trucks. Seriously, I do not need to hear loud nationalistic warbling before I wake up). They've been everywhere. Every rest...

relative geography: August 2006
http://relativegeography.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Jim and Becka go down the road. Waaay down the road. Sunday, August 27, 2006. A common way young couples display their affection in public is to wear "couple shirts". We accidentally engaged in couple shirt action when we bought the same shirt to cheer on Korea's national soccer team during the World Cup. The carts here really put the rigs of the grocery cart dudes in Halifax to shame. One of our favourite things: you rent a flick at the counter, then get escorted to a private screening room to watch it&...

I'll be online until 2pm, Monday afternoon, Eastern Time, please email or leave me a message through this blog, if you can. Saturday, January 06, 2007. Helen was jus...

Jim and Becka go down the road. Waaay down the road. Wednesday, December 27, 2006. Just in case you get a chance to go online and see this while it's still your actual birthday. We're having camera issues, so you'll have to imagine us singing to you this year (gah, sorry! From Becka and Jim. Posted by Becka Barker at Wednesday, December 27, 2006. Friday, December 22, 2006.
