Not much to report after getting back from the Philippines.  I havent been working and it has been HOT.  My new apartment doesnt have AC so I have been going into town just about everyday and trying to cool off ( Read more... )

Its been a busy couple of months.  Last month I took a dive trip to Jeju with Casey and Josh. We really lucked out with the weather this time and we rented scooters and putzed around the island.  It was nice to go with other people this time.  The diving was good but the visiblity was a bit crap.  The same German Kyopo gal was there helping ralph ( Read more... )

I poked by the Dive shop today to see if there were any dives today. There must have been none because the shop didnt open. See as it might rain today, traveling to Pyoseon or Jungmun didnt sound like a good idea. Instead I followed this sign that I have been passing everyday that I have been here claiming that there is a waterfall down the hill ( Read more... )

I have settled into my hostel in Seogwipo.  Jeju Hikers Inn is just down the street from the German owned dive shop that I went out with yesterday.  I urge all SCUBA inclined travelers in Jeju to stop by Big Blue 33.  Ralph is highly professional and his love for diving is apparent.

We had wide representation of the world's nations in our diving ( Read more... )

I think I found the only place in Korea with no PC Bangs. The last couple of days I have been in Seongsam staying at a redbrick Minbuk (guest house) with a view of this 5,000 year old volcano from my window. I did not indulge in the SCUBA that originally brought me to Seongsam.

Instead I meandered around the area with the zeal and speed of a 100 ( Read more... )

Sunday I traveled from Pohang to Gimhae Airport via Gyeongju to catch my flight to Jeju City.  It was the easiest time I have ever had with a flight.  After I got off the bus it was no more than 20 minutes until I was on my flight.  This was helped along by the nice woman at the counter getting me on an early flight at her own suggestion and much ( Read more... )

The weather forecast for Jeju-do for the next 10 days involves THUNDER STORMS, THUNDER STORMS, AND MORE FUCKING THUNDER STORMS!!!!!!!! That coupled with my digital camera refusing to link up with any computer is bring me unending grief!

Poll Educator, Blogger, Humorist I am half way done with Death by English Camp 3.0.  I havent had a day off since two weeks ago.  Last weekend I did yet another English camp for Seonra Middle School on Sat and Sun.  Needless to say my energy is waning this week.  I had a couple of periods off and I slept on the couch for 3 hours today.  I needed it as after I woke up I felt like ( Read more... )

Spring is here in full force and summer keeps peaking out every day at noon. I have used up many of my lesson plans and I am having a hard time keeping track of which school that I used which lesson at. The adult class is also kicking my ass, especial the one on Wed. which is less advanced. Good enough to get bored by my students lessons, inept ( Read more... )
