This is the last weekend in Seoul before going to USA for a long business trip. I decided to take a short day trip today to the sea. When I arrived at the sightseeing place, it turns out maybe 100 or more motorcyclists were having a day trip also:After touring around the fort and seaside awhile, I found the nearby restaurant street. This "street" was really a gravel road alongside the fishing docks,...

Saw this huge drill outside the office this week. I know this construction effort involves an underground passageway from our building complex to the subway station, but I can't quite figure out why they're drilling such deep holes. Anyway, it is a cool machine to watch in action. And MUCH quieter than the pile driver I once had outside my condo window in Hawaii.It wasn't actually running in this...

I wish to put forth my new Taxi Theory I've been developing (maybe it is a hypothesis?)... "As The Stumbler approaches the street to take a taxi, one (usually more) empty taxis will cruise by. When The Stumbler arrives at the street, there won't be another taxi for 5 or 10 minutes".Since I am only one person, I cannot say if this applies to other people or not. Certainly not to anyone walking 100...

I've frequently heard that Koreans don't think a sandwich makes a meal. This restaurant opened up in our office building, which reinforces that belief. The name of the restaurant is "Sand and Food". They sell sandwiches AND food bo...

Here are some photos of our production "team" from last week. They're big on "teams" here in Korea, and I had to chuckle softly to myself when the ladies referred to our small group as "the team".The giant man on the right in the next photo is The Stumbler. I admit I'm bigger than the average Korean, but I don't normally look so out of proportion. Our "team" members must be shorter than average.By...

Working at the factory has a few dietary challenges. For lunch, everyone eats in the cafeteria. Precisely at the lunch bell, all the factory ladies proceed with haste to eat lunch. And they are fast - even though they have 1 hour for lunch, most of them wolf it down in less that 20 minutes. The menu was very plain Korean foods, and not so great. After 7 or 8 days eating it, I was more than ready...

Just finished a whirlwind week of 12 hour days at the factory. No time for blogging or much of anything else for that matter. I was coughing some this week, and one morning at the factory I went to the store to get some throat lozenges. Came back with this package, which upon opening, was not a lozenge at all. It was a powder. Reminds me of a candy we used to eat when I was a kid - it was sweet...
