Take two. I’m going through the process to get my F6 visa here in Korea. Up until this point, I had gathered my passport, my Korean marriage certificate and through a slight debacle hadn’t yet gotten it translated, notarized and authenticated at the US embassy. So, here we are… After going home to the States and coming back at the end of January, I wrote the addresses of th ...

“I have a curious regard for the history of art. My painting practice is unusual in that, I seek to undermine both the Renaissance perspective and the flatness of Modernism by combing both.” Alternative Space Loop in Hongdae is currently exhibiting a very vibrantly colored display of works by artist Lee Jin Han. It’s a great space for the art and in a location surrounded by ...

Tutankhamun is ending his time in Korea in a couple weeks. The pharoah, unknown to the world prior to the discovery of his tomb in 1922, came to Korea about four months ago. King Tut was born in 1341 BC in the Armana Age and took the thrown from his father pharaoh Akhenaten around 1333 BC when he was still a child and reigned for 9 years. The exhibit, though stocked with reconstructed origi ...

If you’ve ever been to the top of N Seoul Tower after dusk you’ve no doubt noticed a conspicuous swath of the city to the south where the sparkling metropolis has gone almost completely dark.  This is, of course, the Yongsan U.S. Army base, and though it’s not marked on most city maps it most certainly is there, sitting right in the middle of the city.

My how the time has gone. I didn’t realize it’d been three weeks since I last posted on here until today when I logged on. When planning a wedding, or in my case two, but mostly half of only one, things just pile up and tumblr gets left behind. This past weekend I got married to Jae-oo in our first wedding ceremony. As we’ve decided to become a multi-cultural duo we’v ...

 Today started out as a rainy day and that usually means Rocketman wants to stay close to home but he surprised me and said he wanted to venture into Seoul.  He knew I had some Christmas shopping I wanted to do at Namdaemun and so that's where we went.  Boy, was it crowded!

I hope my little sneak preview got you excited for today’s power post. I am usually pretty good at weeding out photos, but today there are a lot! And still I had to set aside some really fun works of art. The COEX is always fun to check out when there is some sort of convention going on (I don’t care for the mall part much otherwise). They bring in some pretty fun expos. But this adven ...

One of our friends lives in Yeouido and he’d convinced Jae-oo, who told me, that this was NOT the festival to attend because the traffic is nuts and there are far too many people for comfort. After I put my foot down and said I was going with or without him and walked out the door he came jogging after. I’ve never been to this show and well, fireworks are fireworks. The fourth of J ...
