A magnificent explosion; craft beer in South Korea

There’s nothing quite like a familiar face; after four months in South Korea, it was a pleasure to see our friend from England, Mike. And in true English style, the holiday was a  series of obligatory visits to the top tourism spots and apprehensively experiencing the Korean cultural quirks. Strung together by drinking a serious amount of maekju (beer).

Eating with Seoul; a vegan festival

After the painless Saturday morning operation of moving to a new apartment, less than 200m from our school, Molly and I ventured north of the Han River to the annual vegan festival held in the Seoul Innovation Park. Nestled at the foot of the Bukhansan National Park is a centre for stimulating the creative economy with consideration to social and environmental issues – a perfect place to hold a vegan festival.

Beers, Bakeries and Bamboo Massages.

It’s not all fun and games.

Arrival in Korea.

Anyong Haseyo!

After a couple of weeks, we are finally settled in to our new lives in South Korea. We are living in an apartment in Gwangju-si, Gyeonggido (a providence just outside of Seoul), with our academy right around the corner.
