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 [...]
One thing that we have wanted to try for a long time is some traditional oriental medicine. While Koreans have a unique diet that also aids in good overall health, the practice of oriental medicine in highly regarded here and is even paid for by our government health insurance. One practice we’ve been really curious [...]
One of the most incredible things we have experienced in Korea has been the 3 amazingly beautiful weeks of Cherry Blossom season. Although a little later than usual, we watched as once-bare trees blossomed into pink and white clouds lining the streets of our city. Though Ulsan was really beautiful, we were advised to go [...]
Last night we had a board breaking test for our upcoming Pink(not so excited about the color) belt test. It was so much fun and invigorating. We all passed and had a fun time doing it. We even got to watch our Taekwondo master break 8 boards at one time, which was amazing! Geek Info: [...]
As some of you may know from our previous posts, we are currently blue belts in Taekwondo(태권도). When we arrived in Korea and started to ask around about Taekwondo we were surprised to learn that in Korea, it is possible to become a black belt in one year! This was surprising to us due to [...]
Many of you may have read our post How We Get To Work when first got here and have seen the video. Well since then we became a little tired of the bus system and have purchased a small 50cc scooter! We use it to get to work everyday as long as it is not [...]
Here is a quick video from out trip to Thailand during our honeymoon in 2009. You can see more footage of Thailand in some of our other posts like the Floating Market, The Tiger Temple or Bridge Over the River Kwai. We stayed for about a week total on the beautiful island of Koh Chang [...]
Here is a quick video from out trip to Thailand during our honeymoon in 2009. You can see more footage of Thailand in some of our other posts like the Floating Market, The Tiger Temple or Thailand’s Beaches and Waterfalls. We went on a day trip that included a visit to the famous Bridge of [...]
In case you missed the post about Gyungju, just wanted to let you know it’s Cherry blossom season here in Ulsan and it is beautiful!! Valerie and I went riding through one of the more scenic roads in Ulsan which is about ten minutes from our house and we wanted to share the video with [...]
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 [...]
Just finished up editing and uploading the second part of the Cultural Korea video from our first MOE trip to Andong. Footage includes a Traditional Korean Mask Dance, pictures and video from Hahoe Village in Andong. We also show some pictures from the beautiful Bu Seok Sa Temple which rests on a mountain top and [...]
One of the many things we were pleasantly surprised to find out once moving to Ulsan was that the Metropolitan Office Of Education routinely puts together free cultural tours of Korea for the foreign teachers. This was not anything promised in our contracts or required, just something they do to help us more easily learn [...]
