Super Fantastic Seoul Magic Wish Time Everyone on Travelblog agrees- Its been far too long since a Kate Hildebrand entry!! For the record, Yosemite is open year round and you always have a California tourguide at your disposal! (that would be me). :)
anyo asayo! hey Kate
fellow blogger here, though i'm back home now and living through other travellers for the time being! I ended my trip in S korea. LOVED IT! I just have a tip...climb Inwangsan! Such stunning views...
enjoy the bi bim bap!
I miss you seriously Hi Kate,
Wow Korea that's awesome, what brought you there? I miss you madly, I haven't talked to you in forever. So yeah this summer is my first in Vancouver as my family lives here now. So if you ever want to come to Vancouver give me a shout. I will finally be graduating next spring, its lame 21 mandatory electives credits next year.
I hope all is well,
Christine
Stephen Paul Hey Kate! Nice pictures and blog... But why do they have to be so good, you are helping kick my blog off the front page!! ha ha. I guess thats what I get for posting on Friday night. Nice following your travels, perhaps Turkey then Korea is the farthest distance between 2 travelblogs on this site?! Cheers! :)
KAAAATE You're travelling again!! WOOHOO TO YOU!!! Keep me posted on what you do! When are you heading home? I haven't even read this entry I just saw it on the homepage of the travelblog website so I'll go back to see what you are getting yourself into!
take care and love the fact you're out there being cool again (students are just not as cool as travellers!)

Kimchi rules! Great blog! And I happened to see your hilarious Vien Vieng blog (hippies, haha) and when I was there last year, I stayed far out of town and came into the contruction zone only to do the tubing, which was virtually empty since it was sprinkling... nonetheless, for me, it was not so bad... plus I had great company. Anyhow, but those happy shakes are something to steer clear from. Having taught in Korea for the past 1.5 yrs, it's nice to be away, though the bbq photos make me miss it a bit. :)
Awsome blog. Stumbles into your blog. Easily the most entertaining blogger I came across. Modern Talking, this 80s band literally make Chuck Norris cries, glad you got to experience it haha.
Locals in exile Did you know they've built a new market a couple of kms out of town and the locals are moving there, leaving the "old" town to the hippies. now that's really sad!!
Amazing Women Traveller Kate,
You are amazing. You are certainly a world traveller. Your blogs are great. I wish you safe travels.
Are you home in school?

Just a small remark Turkey is a great country and Instabul is a unique city. Your blog is really nice but I would like to make a remark. The temple called "Hagia Sophia" was built by Orthodoxes. The Byzantines were Orthodoxes, not Catholics. Please bear in mind that issues like nationality, history and religion in Balkan and Minor Asia are extremely sensitive.
So close!! Great pics! We would love to have you visit here welcome here in Abu Dhabi!!....In regards to high expectations, be warned --the oldest building here is 30 years old and the national pasttime is tearing buildings down to rebuild....but we have losts of mosques!--little ones big ones, and some in between. UAE is also a great jumping off point to visit Iran--you can practically swim over!
Merhaba! Turkey is my new roommate's favorite country, quite possibley ever. We drink turkish chai all the time while playing backgammon and he teaches me baby-turkish phrases. I hope you're having fun!!!
Wow it's Kate! Kate,
I miss you tons, I am sorry for being shitty about keeping in touch. Go check your email I sent you an email. I am glad to read this journal and am uber jealous on your travels, I am still in Vancouver, with 2 more terms to go, with psycho weather (it keeps snowing!). Keep traveling and being kickin' rad and hopefully we can reunite at some point, btw I like your hair!

Another Great Blog!!! Kate: I have been looking forward to your blog. You are one of the best. I wish I could take off on a whim. Say hello to your great Mother who lets you do all of this, and the rest of your family.

Yeah right Hi kate,
This morning, i came across this page about ur trip to Cambodia. It's like a reflection. sometimes, people feel pathetic living here... it can be even more pathetic if u're a girl. This life is crazy. Last night, oprah said u'd be the luckiest woman if u're born in america, i guess i'm not that lucky. But i appreciate everything i got here, every loved one i've met here.
About tipping Hi Kate, I don't quiete agree with your views about tipping when travelling in developing countries. I mean, truly enough to give away a 2$ tip to someone who did something for you can results very natural for you (or for us) but it isn't for people living in a country where earning 100$ per month is the rule. By doing that you create such a huge unbalance that more and more locals will see you (or us, again) as simple cash points on legs. Paying your guide 50$ a day in Vietnam then... man, you can bet that guy has by now built a shrine with your pic in his house and is awaiting for you to go back as much as a jew can be looking forward for the coming messiah!
That said, I like your blog and your very independent travelling attitude.
Keep up with the good mood.
Marco
