Today began the moving process. We officially began occupancy of the new office, which is located on the NORTH side of a train station (that's important later on in the story). We spent a few hours packing and preparing, and while CH had to attend a meeting elsewhere, I worked with two other Korean men packing up and moving some delicate electronics items that we don't want the movers to handle....

[These photos below are of my air conditioner leaving the building...]There was a glitch in the moving process a couple weeks ago. When we went to inquire about the installation of my air conditioner (that's aircon in Konglish), we were told that this apartment did not allow installation of your own aircon. Each home comes with one aircon installed, and that's all you're allowed to have! No amount...

My friend Trevor told me an odd way of cooking the frozen vegetables that I bought from Costco recently. He said to start off making a pot of rice in the rice cooker, then just before you start the cooker, throw in some frozen vegetables and then press start. I've done that a few times, and it works well. There is only one bad point about this. I think the "rule" my Korean friends have given me...

I have proof that at least one person besides my mother reads my blog - a non-family member commented on my Korean Air playing card post. I want to point out that you can get at least one other free thing - The Jeju Island Water Spray bottle. They pass these out in the business class cabin, but I'm sure you could request on in economy class. Just tell the stewardess that you have a severe skin...

There are a couple interesting looking bars around the area I live, that I have not had the chance to visit. Since I'll be moving next weekend, I decided to go visit a couple of these this week. The first one is named the "C U Bar". I thought it was a silly way of spelling "see you", but I found out it is instead pronounced "Kyoo-Bah", almost like Cuba would be pronounced by a Korean. Met a nice...

When I sometimes break down and eat at an American fast food restaurant, I sometimes eat this thing called a spicy chicken wrap from KFC. The last time I ate it, I was staring at it, and thought to myself, there really is no secret to making this. It is just chicken, lettuce, tomato, mayonaise wrapped in a tortilla. So this week I bought a head of lettuce, some pathetic greenhouse tomatoes, and...

Most of my friends know that when I travel on Korean Air, I always request a couple decks of playing cards. I don't know why I do it, I guess it has just become a habit I can't break. With all my trips, I currently have quite a collection. Here are my 24 sealed decks, and that doesn't count the decks I've given away to friends or opened myself and used.Well, I used to joke with my friends why Korean...

I almost forgot about this photo. Last month CH and I were walking down the street to lunch, and saw this pile of trash on the ground. As best I figure a dentist office must have closed down. Teeth and jaws everywhere.... yu...

You know you've been missing American cooking too long when you get excited about finding this in the store:By the way, they tasted delicious. I'm not sure why they export frozen vegetables from Washington State all the way to Korea (that's not visible in the photo - it is printed on the back of the package). It's not like these are special vegetables that they don't have in Korea. Strange...

Well, I've done it again - somehow I've ended up with another stomach ache. I believe it was something I ate on Saturday night. I was bored, so I headed out to the area where the new apartment will be, and went to a movie theater which was recently constructed. Even though it is usually hard to get tickets on a Saturday night, I had three things going for me. First, I was alone - I figured there...
