Vanilla Milkshake

Have you ever have one of those days when you just had to have something that you haven’t had in a long time? Today was one of those days. I had to go to the Korean Exchange Bank during my lunch hour, which is about a 20-minute walk from SolBridge. I could have taken a [...]

Winter in Daejeon

Winter is my favorite time of the year in Korea; especially when it snows. Having lived in Korea since 1990, I have seen my share of snow in Seoul, Daejeon, and my first winter wonderland at Mt. Sorak in 1991. December was the snowiest month I have experienced in Daejeon as well as Korea all [...]

Cold Duck

Or should I say, cold ducks? On one of the coldest days of the new year, and one of the coldest days I have felt in Korea in a very long time, these ducks in a stream not far from SolBridge are oblivious to the cold.

A Snowy New Year’s Day in Daejeon

The New Year has picked up where the old year left off: more snow. By far, this the most snow at one time in the past three attempts by Mother Nature to blanket Daejeon with the white stuff. I’m guessing around 4-5 inches, maybe more.   It’s not going to last. By noon, the sun [...]

SolBridge International School of Business: Fall 2012 BBA and MBA Graduation

Just like that, another semester is over at SolBridge. Doesn’t feel like it, though. I am teaching a winter intersession until January 4th. Then, I will finally be able to catch my breath and continue work on two major writing projects.

Steady as she goes

The Lespo Standard. Your all-weather bicycle. And why do we say, “steady as she goes?” Why not, “steady as it goes?” Either way, this gentleman was not about to be dissuaded by snow and ice. Look closely, you’ll also see his cane and an industrial-strength chain to make sure no one steals his Lespo.

Deep-Freeze Daejeon

It’s been wicked cold in Daejeon for the past three days; the coldest December that I can remember in a long time. Most of the streets in my neighborhood are still sheets of corrugated ice and snow. There won’t be any city department crews sprinkling salt on these streets. Some folks have taken to spreading [...]
