Mulloskeys Adventures Abroad

It was here that I experienced the other two emotions I referred to on the earlier post; the horror and anguish that would change me. Erin and been here before but it was no less powerful for her. The museum provided its visitors 1) the history of the city and how it was the military [...]

This city needs no introduction. This is place I knew we would visit as soon as we decided to teach English in Asia. I knew this was something that every human being should do; especially those within reasonable proximity and opportunity to do so. This experience will be very difficult for me to describe but [...]

The next morning we quickly went to the Korean Consulate to drop off our passports for processing. Then it was to Shin-Osaka station where I was to live out a life-long dream: ride a bullet train. These trains are a thing of beauty and not shy on comfort either. You hardly notice the acceleration and [...]

Since we did not have to be at the Korean Consulate until Monday morning I let the Japan veteran in our relationship lead the tour. Erin could think of no better place to spend our first day and night than the temple city of Kyoto. We took the express train directly form the airport to [...]

As we were unable to get our work visa’s in time before we left Korea, and it was sort of the schools fault and unusual timing of our employment, we were required by the school to take a trip to Osaka Japan for 2 business days to apply for and obtain or work visas. [...]

Just a quick note to let everyone know that we miss you all. We are sending heaps of love over the Pacific….we look forward to many festive seasons with you all in the future and are sorry we’re missing this one.
Love, love, love.
