Mulloskeys Adventures Abroad

… goes by in a blink”  This is a quote from the opening sequence of our favourite travel show (and show period) “Departures“.  And it’s so true. As these authors prepare for our next hiatus from the “Mulloskeys’ Adventures Abroad,” we can’t help but reflect on an amazing year of adventure, culture and friends.
No doubt the highlight [...]

Being on a potential hiatus for a while, I deliberately wanted to finish what surely could be our last time ever in Korea, with the final installment of Korean food. This one is worth the read as we finally muster the courage to dive into arguably the most exotic and stomach-wrenching (and potentially fatal… well, not really) [...]

Well friends… sadly our time is coming to an end on this remarkable peninsula and our  return to western life is imminent. These are potentially our last 2 posts for (hopefully only) a year…but who knows what life will hold? Scary? Sure. But uncertainty is the sweetest fruit of life, at least to this author.
First, a [...]

Here comes round two of hilarious and soul-crushing Korean student life, in their own words. This time there are a few drawings to accompany the text. Grab you PDA, head to the nearest crapper and enjoy these gems on us. As always, lets start with our favourite.
(Note “JLS” is the name of our evening English Academy) [...]

If you know us personally, or have read any of the posts about our travels, you know how serious Erin and I are about food. You will probably remember us complaining when we came home about how bad Korean food was. We would like to *officially* retract those comments. You have to understand that when we [...]

 This is a must do for any any movie lover or afficianado of the kind of treatment normally reserved for those with some sort of platnum card. For those of you looking for a classier, more comfortable and refined way to experience the art of film (Eclipse… again) look no further than Lotte Cinema’s ‘Charlotte’ theatre [...]

Why oh why did we not get bikes earlier?!?!  It was our friend Ben and his generous hand down of his bike to me that inspired us to get one for Erin as well. It just so happens we live next to Ansan’s largest park and bike path.
There is no better way to get around [...]

It was three years and 8 megapixels ago that we first blogged about Buddha’s birthday in Seoul. If the quality of the photos and the intense colour of their subjects wasn’t so magnificent we might have left it as is. So, in an effort to increase readership in the 21st century, this will be short [...]

For those of you just joining us “Jorkat” is the combination of Jordan and Katie. It seems our friend Mike “Migs” Mulqueen (yes, we claim it was him and not the tabloids that coined Brangelina) started a trend among couples several years back when he merged our last names in Mulloskey (Mullin + McCloskey). It [...]

Unless you live in a cave with your eyes shut and your fingers in your ears, you know by now Korea has been eliminated in a hard fought game against Uruguay. But our experience watching that game was so epic that it warrants a short follow-up post to our previous one on experiencing the World Cup from [...]
