Mulloskeys Adventures Abroad

For the better part of six months Katie and I have been enjoying a view of Mullin and Jordan… from the back. We’ve managed to admire this view against a variety of scenic backdrops, always with them locked in intense conversation from the moment we meet up. No complaints from me, my company was great.
Jordan, thanks [...]

Doesn’t this just sum him all up?

We regret that this post is from so far back, but for reasons explained in the previous post you will just have to suck it up and deal with it.
During December we continued to have memorable times with our dear friends and Korean life-mates Jordan and Katie. We have decided to dedicate a full post [...]

Our deepest apologies to our loyal readers for our unfortunate hiatus of the last 3 months. It has been a rough and tumble roller coaster as we tried to sort out our lives.
From October – November, we were working hard to find a job in New Zealand while I began taking some online courses. A fresh [...]

We woke early to catch the first train back north. Our plan was to stop in a famous hot spring town, Jiaoshi, for our first taste of the naturally hot and mineral rich water bubbling under Taiwan. This topographical map gives you an idea of just how drastic the mountains are here. (More importantly, note the sign [...]

(Warning – lots of pics and video)
The only place open for food at 6:00am was McDonalds and we sold our souls once more. From there, back to the train station. Before I forget to write about it later, there are some interesting anecdotes from inside. First is the clean air display that is kind of [...]

Is there any better feeling that strapping a huge pack on your back and hopping a bus to the airport? Not for these two travelers. Sharing the next 5 days with our friends Katie and Jordan (a.k.a. Jorkat) was much more than an added bonus. This experience would either solidify our friendship forever or leave [...]

It’s Korea’s version of thanksgiving. The focus is honouring one’s ancestors and visiting one’s hometown while throwing in a bunch of tradition and celebration of harvest time. It’s a time of traffic mayhem as over half the country, living in Seoul, travels south on 2 highways and 2 train lines to where the vast majority of [...]
