    Korea

    I was set to leave Korea this week and head to the Philippines and then Vietnam. That plan has changed in light of the super typhoon that hit the Philippine Islands the last 2 days and it's now headed for Vietnam. 1200 people are reported to have died in the Philippines as a result (and that is just early reports), with numbers expected to climb higher as the next few days approach. Watching the devastation on the news has my heart feeling very sad for all of the great people I met in Cebu last spring. I'm sure I would be terrified if I were already there and am very thankful that I am not caught up in this disaster. I had a great day today, hiking in the mountains around Changwon here in Korea. But all I can think of is getting on a plane and heading home. It may be colder in Toronto than here, but right now that doesn't sound so bad! http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/typhoon-haiyan-hits-philippines-deaths-could-top-1-200-1.2420971
  2. I never thought I would miss the band play a show in Toronto, but sadly I won't be in the country. Have fun!

    Korea

    fantastic recommendations ! Thanks a lot DevO. I will be returning here roughly every 4 months so there will be lots of opportunity to take you up on those suggestions. As far as the ultimate frisbee is concerned...dude, I'm old now. That is WAY too much running for this guy. Disc golf = hell ya Ultimate = hell no

    Korea

    Thanks for the tip. Most of the time I have no idea what the heck I am eating. Keeping an open mind and if my colleagues are eating it, then I am willing to give it a try. I thought i was staying in Gwangju, but after my 5 hour bus ride and being met by my contact there, discovered i had another 1 hour car ride to Muan...make that Mokpo. Now this city I like ! My hotel room overlooks the East China Sea. It is right on the beach and quite nice. The scenery on the trip here was spectacular. My biggest surprise about Korea so far is how gorgeous this country is due to all of the mountains. Great time of year too as the weather is beautiful and the trees are all turning colour. Looking forward to seeing more over the next 2 weeks.

    Korea

    Thanks folks I'm headed to Gwangju tomorrow for 4 days...is that the same place as you mentioned in your post Blane? After that I am off to Busan for the last 7 days of my stay here in Korea. Then I'm headed to Cebu and finally Ho Chi Minh City. I've had a fantastic day getting lost in Pohang. Wandering the Jukdo market and eating some crazy food. So far this trip I have had raw cow spinal cord (which was delicious), Stingray (which was terrible), live octopus (hacked up just before we ate it, and still moving on the plate) and god knows what else. I'm trying everything and anything!

    Korea

    Hey folks Been a while since I was here. Wondering if those of you who have travelled to Asia or continue to visit here have any "hotspots" that are a must see. I visit Korea for work. I'll be here roughly every 3 to 4 months for 3 weeks at a time. I travel all over South Korea, from Seoul to Suncheon, Busan, Ulsan, and more. Currently I am in Pohang and really like this city. I have weekends free and would like to do some sightseeing in my free time. I know some of you have lived here in the past (and maybe currently - hamilton?) I also work in the Philippines and Vietnam and less often (but occasionally) in China. Hoping to do some hiking and visit any nice public gardens during my trips. Cheers

  20. I was away on business and wasn't sure I'd be back in time, so I gave my ticket away. Just got back and have to leave again on Sunday. If anyone has an extra floor ticket, I'd love to be there with my friends while I'm in town. If not, well HAVE A BLAST folks!

    Thank you both for replying. That's exactly what I am doing. Wandering around taking in the sights. It's unbelievably gorgeous here! Spent a couple days in Pordenone near the mountains north of Venice. Wish I were here on vacation rather than work, but hey work paid the $6300 plane ticket so I won't complain
