As you can imagine, things have been a little tense here on the Korean peninsula. Being residents of South Korea and experiencing the national mourning that took place after the sinking of the South Korean war ship, the Cheonan, we genuinely feel the nation’s pain. Forty-six sailors and one rescue worker died when the ship [...]
We usually do not win or get picked to be finalist in anything, but lately we have been very lucky. One of Griffin’s photographs got selected out of more 250 other photographs by more than one hundred and fifty other photographers to be a finalist in a contest. Unlike our last contest y’all helped out [...]

When we arrived in Korea, one of our first posts was about Korean food. Since that time we have had many more experiences with local food, some good and some not so much. So, we thought it might be a good idea to give a little update. First, a quick lesson on how Koreans describe [...]

We’ve found yet another reason that Korea is awesome… low (or lower than America) priced health care. Firstly, our health insurance is amazing. It covers anything you can think of including chiropractic care as well as oriental medicine in addition to the normal stuff. When seeing a local doctor, the co-pay is around 5,000KRW, or [...]

A couple of weeks ago, we finally got the opportunity to do something not many people in the world get to experience – We visited the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea. This buffer zone between the two warring countries is bordered by the largest military presence in the world. The Demilitarized Zone, or [...]
This weekend we took a day trip to Gyeongju with some new friends who put the outing together via facebook. This was our second trip to the area as one of Griffin’s co-teacher’s, Mr. Shin took us there a week after our arrival in the Fall. It was fun to go back and revisit and [...]
