While in Korea (as I previously mentioned) I purchased an “Everyday Expression Dictionary” (in Korean 에브리데이 영어 표현 사전 – Everyday English Expression Dictionary). It’s a great resource, even though it’s meant for Korean speakers who are learning English. I really like it because it has 14 different chapters, which all focus on different things, [...]
Thanks to a server outage I lost the changes on my Korea 2010 page. However, I did stick up some photographs for now (nothing fancy, so don’t go expectin’ things… lol)… but do take a look. There’ll be changes probably almost daily with updates, a lot of words added, and some cool links. Look forward [...]
I’m still trying to get over jet lag (possibly due to autoimmune influences or perhaps poor choices, or a mix of both) but I am still struggling. I have been working on photos to add to my new pages, but I still have no luck with a plug-in. Most do NOT do what they claim, [...]
My HP mini bit the dust–thanks to a virus or two caught in Korea. They completely destroyed my computer and I had to uninstall everything back to factory default… so that now I can reload all my software etc. So, I am struggling with that constantly right now. The virus compromised our network and so [...]
This program is excellent–but, it’s also very tiring. Today is really the first time that I have had to just sit and relax and chill out. It’s so strange–being on the go all the time, I’ve hardly had any time to digest any of it!
The DMZ visit yesterday was a little bizarre. It was a [...]
I went ahead and purchased flash my brain last night and it’s a really great piece of software. I love it. So far I’ve only downloaded some of the sets available online, to evaluate it before I go ahead and start making sets myself. The pic below shows viewing a set–not learning it–so you can [...]
Korea is not widely known for it’s animated movies. However, in recent years there have been several films, which have caught the eye of the international audience with their delightful penmanship–both in imagery and storyline. I watched one of those movies today.
Yobi, the Five Tailed Fox (Korean: 천년여우 여우비) is a 2007 animated Korean film [...]
Beautiful Lotus Lantern
I leave for Korea in 16 days! I still haven’t been able to send the money to Lotus Lantern for the TempleStay program–but I hope that they reply to my email with the needed information soon! I guess I could just show up and pay them on the spot–but I’m not sure [...]
I found a great service today for anyone traveling (either for a short of longer time) to Korea. It’s called “HomeStay Korea” and allows travelers to arrange to stay with families in the city of their choice. I searched by location, gender and religion and was surprised by the large amount of choice I had. [...]
So it’s Sunday and I’m not looking forward to going to work tomorrow–nothing new there though! I have to pick up my insurance card for traveling–I was supposed to get it on Friday but didn’t go as it was raining! I also need to get looking for a plug converter so that I can take [...]
