Lol, It's me again. I didn't wanted to overload one entry by picture. So here is the second part. After Yongin, Chuncheon. This 2 town are only 1 hour from seoul. Yongin is situated at the south of seoul and Chuncheon at the east. We went in Chuncheon on saturday, with Una, Ahyoung's friend. There we met a friend of Una. He brought us to a lake, we took a boat to cross this lake and go to walk along a river. Then we arrived to a temple. Still same, all beautiful, and nice to be back in the countryside. The sunday, Una left, but her friend, and some of his friend,and Ahyoung and me (sorry, it's a bit confuse, but my english is not enough good for this kind of situation, lol) ; we went ... read more

The other day, we went for a walk. I didn't expect a walk like that. We leave the house at 10h30, we take the bus during 20 minutes and we arrive. It was strange in the bus to see the street becoming smaller and smaller. We started in a big street as a big town street, and we finished on small road as mountain road. Anyway. We started strait to climb the hill. No turn, strait! It's not the easiest way to start a walk but no choice. After 15 min, we arrived on a crossroad, and on this new track, a lot of people! It was very strange. We started with nobody, and now all this people. We walk a bit more and we arrive in a National Park. So if I sum up, this ... read more

Hi everybody~ I want to talk a bit about the korean dishes. You can separate it in different categories (I just describe the one I eat) : - The meat dishes You have different kinds of kalbi. It's often pork or beef on barbecue. You eat it with differents sauces (it depend on wich dish you eat), and you wrap it with rice in lettuce. It come with rice and vegetables. The sauce is deliscious. You have as well the pulgogi. It is beef that you prepare in advance. It is marinated in soy sauce, sugar, onions, garlic, beer,... You eat that with rice and kotchuzang (korean chili paste). It's sweet and deliscious. - Soups and stews Kimchi-tzigae : It is a spicy soup made of kim-chi (when it become sour) and some vegies.

Hey As it is says in the title, we took 5 days holidays during the holidays. To make it simple, we just travelled a bit in the south of the country during 5 days. We went to Busan in the first time by train (5 hours). It is the second biggest town and the biggest port of South Korea. We went there to visit Ahyoung's cousins. I met one of them (Su-jong) in Australia. We stayed 3 days in Busan. Just went to the beach and visit the town and some more restaurant. In Busan, they have a speciality of noodle. Deliscious. To sleep, we went to motel (one of the cheapest accomodation) and sauna. As well, for a very cheap price, they propose you to sleep in a big box. It can be good but ... read more

Hi there. Ok. To sum up a bit: I left France last year, the 2nd of september 2006, to spend "3 months in Australia" as I said. I finally stayed 11 months in Australia... During my travel, I met a korean girl Ahyoung ; we travelled together during 6 months, then she went back to korea. So, 11 weeks after her departure, I took a ticket plane back to France with a stop over in South Korea. I arrived in Seoul the 3rd of august. From this date, I live in Ahyoung's house with her familly. They are all very nice. That's really good for me because it's not usual because of the traditions. It is very important for korean people. Usually, a guy can't live with his girlfriend before they are married... (That's start well, ... read more

Hey salut !!! OK so there it is. During 3 months, I stayed in Brisbane. no picture of Brisbane because I didn't have time to visit really. I went a bit in the town center an around, but no picture! I spent the most of my time working, and when I wasn't working, I had party... So as you can see, I was really busy! It was fun to try this new job. I did door to door selling. Never did that before, but worked well. I did make good money! In fact, I had been lucky. It happened in Queensland the same that in France, at the same time. The deregulation of the electricity. Everybody can choose their electricity retailer. And me, I came on the door of people to say Hello and propose them ... read more
