I came out of Suyu Station on line four at exit three. I headed to the bus stops in the middle of the road and caught bus number 120 to Ui-dong. It took about 20 minutes to reach the end of the line, which is where I needed to get off. I like it when the stop I need is the last one, as it means I don't have to pay too much attention. Luckily, the bus terminates in the depot. From there it was a bit of a walk through the village to reach the entrance of the park. It was a lovely sunny day, there were lots of Taegukgis flying. I walked for about 10 minutes, then there was a signpost, which showed the way through a nice forest walk to reach the start ... read more

As of tomorrow, I will have been teaching in Korea for two months. In that time, my experience as an English teacher has been anything but boring.

Depending on the class, I was greeted with varying reactions. With one classroom in specific, I was literally greeted with shrieks of fear. The children had never seen ... read more

Today I went to visit the Five Palace. The palaces are build separate from each other. They are all located from 500 meters to 3 kilometres from my hotel. The closest one was 550m from my hotel and I just walked there. It was the Deok Su Gung, the smallest one out of the five. This palace was built for a royal family so it was pretty small compared to the other palaces. The next one I went to was the Gyeong Hui Gung palace. It was used as a second palace for the king in emergency. There is a long corridor along the side of the palace. I walked from the Deok Su Gung palace to this palace. It was about 700m. I knew I would be doing a lot of walking so I’m dressed ... read more
