I'm not one who usually oogles over cars, but I must make an exception in this case. Twice this year I have seen this Mercedes Benz driving on the road, and my eyes popped out! I've included a couple photos from the internet, but they don't do it justice. This car has such a radical look, when you see it contrasted with other cars on the highway it really stands out.I have no idea if this is available...

To answer Young Stumbler #1's question recently, YES, the book on Einstein that I am reading is written by Walter Isaacson. I am really enjoying this book, but that may not be surprising since I often like biographies and books about history. Even if you are not an Engineer, Physicist, or Mathematician, this book is very enjoyable and interesting. At least through the first half of the book, which...

I am going to join the trend here in Korea amongst celebrities - and admit that I was posing as a graduate of a university which I didn't attend! Well, I was only an impostor for one night, and I was a pretty bad impostor, since I openly admited being an impostor. And lest anyone get worked up, I really AM a university graduate, just from a better another engineering school.During The Stumbling...

Last night I met my friend JI and one of his buddies JM for dinner. JM suggested a fusion chicken restaurant, which sounded good until I heard that they tried to eat there previously but got lost and didn't find the place. We walked quite awhile, but eventually found it. My first impression was that the place was closed. The lighting was very dim. We sat down and ordered our food, and as I looked...

A new restaurant opened up this week on the 1st floor of my building. It is called U9, and apparently is owned by the BHC and/or BBQ chicken restaurants (I don't understand the whole story). They serve Donkatsu (something we ate on The Stumbling Parents' visit) and Chobap. I don't understand the sushi / sashimi distinction very well, but I believe Korean Chobap is closest to sushi. It is slices...

Oops - I forgot the best photo yet from TSP trip! In their hotel room, they had a luxurious bathtub, with whirlpool jets and bubble bath soap. Living in an officetel, I don't have a bathtub, and I was very jealous. Here is TSF soaking in the bubbles:By the way, I think the second best photo from the trip was of the pumpkin duck food. Neither of these top two photos were taken by me - I need to...

I prepared a summary of The Stumbling Parent's trip. CLICK HERE to see it (I also added a permanent link on the blog sidebar below). I did something interesting with this summary - I added Google Earth placemarks for all the various places we visited. If you have Google Earth on your computer, you should be able to click on any of the "Location" links, and you will be "flown" to that spot automatically....

Today was the last day in Korea for TSP. I went over to their hotel in the morning, and helped them packing, and also I installed Asian fonts on TSM's computer.After getting all packed and the car loaded, we walked down the street and ate Korean fast food at the Kimbap Heaven - you could call this the Korean McDonald's. Then it was off to the Airport. Here's the bridge to Incheon:You can see that...

Well, for the last full day in Korea, the Yongsan Electronics Market and the traditional Korean market at Namdaemun was on the agenda. My colleague CH had been busy attenting some continuing education classes the past few days, but he was able to join us for today's outing. But before we could begin sightseeing, we had to go ONCE AGAIN to Itaewon to pick up the suit and shirts that TSF and I had...

War Memorial. When you see this associated with Korea, you invariably think of the still unresolved Korean War. However, this War Memorial Museum is both a memorial and a museum for all the various wars Korean has been involved in, from centuries before the Korean War to more modern operations.Before I show the museum, let me take this time to introduce GiNi. She was the expert navigation system...
