Of all the apartments I’ve lived in Korea (eight) the one I am in now ranks near the bottom. Despite one of the more “modern” ones in terms of the interior (though having an electrical outlet next to the shower still begs the question, what was the architect doing in the class the teacher talked [...]

Blustery Daejeon

Picture of the Day — SolBridge Salsa Club

I snapped these two pics outside our apartment in Jayang-dong. Woosong University is in the distance.

Picture of the Day: Snow Tree, Woosong University — Daejeon, South Korea
It has snowed a lot in Daejeon the past two years; in fact, I have seen more snow in Korea the past two years than I had in the previous 18 years (except the late winter blizzard of ’04 and the January blizzard of ’02).
