Hans Bakker van Guelph
I was born June 24, 1947, St. Jean Baptiste Day, in Marssum, Friesland, the Netherlands. I moved to America in 1952 because my parents went to Cleveland, Ohio, and it was tough to get a job at age five. My CV was not as long then as it is now. I am currently in Seoul, Korea, but I work in Guelph, Ontario. Since my name is so common in the Netherlands, Belgium, South Africa and Norway, I (unofficially) added the "van Guelph" to make it clear that I am from the city of Guelph, Ontario, Canada. I discovered this site when looking up what is said about the Boryeon Mud Festival experience. I just did a bit of editing on the Wikipedia site. The Mud Festival is fun, sure, but Boryeon also has other attractions, particularly the Silla ear Songjeong Buddhist Temple site, which I found meditative. It was on the FREE bus tour for visitors, Korean and non-Korean alike. (Our guide did not speak any English.) So I would like to blog further adventures, ... why not!
