Extended absences are good for the soul. Many moons ago, I lost all of the posts on the previous incarnation of this blog, and my general disinterest in blogging at the time led me to abandon the institution of blogging altogether. But I could never forsake my old mistress completely. Absence, as they say, makes [...]

Wow! It’s been months since I’ve had the motivation to blog. Why have I been away for so long? Well, first, I accidentally deleted the database that held all my posts from the Soju Sonsangnim days. Second, I’ve been fixated on the idea that my posts have to focus on life here in South Korea. Really, [...]

After running my own blog for over a year, I decided that it was time to finally form a joint venture with Kathleen – especially since I could never remember to cross-posts the entries from the other blog over here. So, you can look forward to the same posts I was doing on my old [...]
Gosh. I always feel horrible for not posting, but I never feel like I have enough to talk about to fill a whole post. However, a lot has happened since we’ve been home.

Anyway, we were at the school and there wasn’t any toilet paper in the bathroom. Apparently teachers and students need to bring their own. Well, of [...]

So we started this blog almost a year ago to write of our travels and experiences while in Asia. I think the blog started out just fine, but it’s slowly become sort of boring. I’m not a consistent blogger, and it’s like pulling teeth to get Shadi to upload his blog from his website (shadimirza.net) [...]

So yesterday was the big day: a limestone cave trip! Let me start this blog with a little history.
I love Earth Science. I think the formation of our planet is one of the most incredible things and I could honestly spend my entire day watching/reading nothing but the history of our planet (also things on [...]

So we arrived in Beijing around 9:30AM on Saturday. After going through customs and getting our luggage, we decided that we would take a bus into the city instead of hiring a driver to take us to our hotel. It was pretty neat…until we found out that we didn’t get on the correct bus. It [...]
