We woke up, packed up our stuff, and hit breakfast quickly before catching our taxi to the boat. The dock for the ferries was a trip in itself. There, boats came and went to several destinations including the mainland and various other islands in the area. Here is nothing but backpackers and you really get [...]

So a bunch of stuff happened since I last posted on Thailand but I couldn’t just forget about it, if at the very least for my own sake for journal purposes. This was the day we were looking forward to. Despite having some great excursions and adventures that would highlight our trip, we were happy [...]

Well, just to make the transformation complete…he done it. Full Monty. No shaggy hippie hair, no scruffy goatee. Has anyone seen my husband? I seem to have misplaced him.

Guest Bloggers: Mike and Jen Mulqueen
We came, we saw, we Mulloskyed. World’s greatest hosts, hands down, we guarantee you will have a fantastic time if you cross the Pacific to visit. Everything they say on this blog is entirely true. Every last detail, not even a minor embellishment. Korea is as wonderfully strange, unique and [...]

Jen and Miggity-Mike have arrived on Korean soil. We now have enough people to form a small foreign gang. ‘Foreign Gang! Foreign Gang!’. We are super excited to have them here and are headed to the DMZ and North Korea tomorrow and then into Seoul for St. Paddy’s Day Korea-style.
If it sounds like we’re having [...]

No, it’s not a day celebrating us foreigners … here in Korea Valentine’s Day belongs to the men. Women by their crushes, significant others, lovers etc. chocolates etc. Pretty much the same as home without all the disappointed females and much more unapologetic consumerism and less Hallmark sentiment.

We had decided to join up with a highly touted day cruise around the island which included snorkeling, fishing, boozing and stops at a few of the islands most famous beaches only accessible by boat. Anywhere else in the world these things are total tourist traps, but not here. Just some [...]

You know, I often walk down the street here and see the most ridiculous things. Poorly translated signs are often a source of amusement for me. Ditto for the t-shirts you can buy from the vendors in the markets (i.e. ‘Pussy Galore Laundry Instructions’ … I kid you not). Despite the rather crude humour behind [...]
