first time in jeonju

These photos are from ages ago.  This was our very first visit to Jeonju . . .  a very exciting train ride, the anticipation of an early morning interview and good friends to show us around what is now the city in which we live.

Happy Birthday Baby!

We celebrated James’ birthday this weekend in Seoul.  It was so nice to see old friends and catch up after being away from Korea for just about 3 months.  Unfortunately, he didn’t wear his superman outfit!
James, I hope this is a great year for you!  You are the cutest little superman I’ve ever seen.  Happy [...]

my girlfriend got married . . .

When I arrived home in Canada, after being off the plane for about 5 minutes, I went to my girlfriend’s wedding and was stunned by the beauty of my childhood friend.  Deanne was a vision in her white dress, walking down the aisle, looking positively elated.  Darryl was also a site of loveliness.  Their wedding [...]

cute little dolls

I went for lunch on Wednesday with two lovely ladies that I have met here in Hwajeong, – Ashley and Migo.
Ashley gave me these cute little dolls.  She bought them in Insa-dong.
They are a Korean couple dressed in their traditional Hanbok outfits for their wedding day.
I think she is trying to tell me something.

The War Memorial Museum

Quite some time ago, when Nate was here actually, we spent some time at the War Memorial Museum in Seoul.  The building itself is tremendous and into every corner of this grand place is interesting display after display after display.  I couldn’t believe the vastness of the building when we got inside.  It is definitely [...]

dear dad,

Dear Dad,

Love Charlotte

Bongeunsa Buddhist Temple

This past Friday had us at Bongeunsa Buddhist Temple which is right in the middle of Seoul City, pretty much across the street from one of the largest malls in Korea – COEX.  That contrast of having such a sacred place in the middle of an incredibly busy city, was in itself, quite interesting.  [...]
