I decided to get to know my neighborhood a little better. Doing so included finding a local gym, and traditional restaurant. Along the way I took these photos.

A Dog Day
Tuesday was WonKwang University’s holiday. I spent the day visiting Daegu city.
The Doctor’s First Visit to Korea
A quick recap: For starters, AJ aka The Doctor, and I had breakfast in Gangnam at Butterfingers Pancakes. Delicious. Next, we had coffee, wine, and a pastry at Marley Coffee. Again our taste buds were satisfied. Our night ended with us people watching at a cafe near Hongik University. Cafe Coffine Gurunaru From the couple…

Soulful Adventure in Seoul
AJ’s flight to Guam had a 3 day layover in Korea. Our plan was to meet on Friday afternoon in Yongsan. Thereafter we made our way to Gangnam and Itaewon. We met Ally and hung out at the A-Loft lounge for a while. Thursday Party was our last destination. Today we returned to Marley Coffee. What…
Iksan, Seoul, Gwangju
Saturday’s adventure began in the early morning when my colleague, Herbert, and I left WonKwang university bound for Seoul. Upon our arrival to Seoul’s Gonkuk university we parted ways and I rode the subway to Gangnam station. Alone, I had breakfast at Butterfingers and coffee at Marley’s. Later, I ate Indian cuisine for lunch in…
Marley Coffee, Gangnam
Gangnam Style! I am in that part of Korea made popular by Psy’s 2012 infectious song and dance. This morning I stopped for breakfast pancakes, eggs, and a sausage at Butter Fingers Pancakes. Thereafter, I made my way here. This is Marley Coffee. It’s noticeably decorated with images of Mr. Marley himself. Surprisingly, it…
Spicy Black Noodles
The Chinese inspired restaurant on our university’s campus has introduced a new item to their menu. I have eaten this dish at other restaurants, but none were like this one. The difference? It is spicy. In general, Jja Jjang Myung, or Black Noodles as they are deservedly called, are served without hot peppers. Black bean…
Winter Camp 3
I was sick. I was also on pins and needles after that encounter with the supervisor. A couple of days later I asked my coteacher outside to talk. I impressed upon her that I did not like how she handle the situation. I also impressed upon her the fact that she is my coteacher. I…
Winter Camp 2
My coteacher went to the supervisor to inform him that I may be sick and that I was slacking off by using my cellphone. She returned to our classroom and said that the supervisor wanted to see me. This was the start of several interactions with that sharply dressed (at least on the first day…
Winter Camp 1
One Week in November I had submitted my application for the winter camp after being referred by a colleague. Late November I hadn’t heard from the recruiter, so I called to inquire about the camp. The recruiter on the other end informed me that I must not have been selected for the camp because he hadn’t…
Imagination
Today I was fortunate enough to have the misfortune of sitting-in on my coworker’s class. Fortunate because observing her would lead me to new understandings about teaching, I presumed. I began to understand that these classes can be conducted in less structured ways than I had originally envisioned. She talked with her students. She engaged them. There…
