Another Brief Stay in Seoul

After returning from Hong Kong, I taught in Gwangju for a week of English camp (not normal school) and tended to other domestic affairs. I had planned a trip to Seoul of a generous week but this was methodically carved down to 4-5 days by those horrible, awful, despicable things we call obligations.

Though having come to the Great City on 3-4 prior occasions I have never done a blog entry about it because it just deserves more than any short trip can really give. Once again, it seems that my stay will be too short to leave me with any perspective on this monster.

This morning I woke up in the apartment of my host who provided information on where a western style brunch can be found. this is first on the docket to be followed by a trip to the U.S. Embassy to replace a lost passport (yes, I lost it as soon as I returned from Hong Kong) and seeing the National Museum of Contemporary Art. I am also hoping to hear some rock and/or roll while in town.

p.s. Spring seems to be here in Korea!

First couple of days in Macau after coming from Hong Kong. The Sarah Chang performance prompted my coming and then I stayed around for a few days before returning to HK. I dug the place so there are plenty of photographs, wink wink, nudge nudge.

Here's the proper link, I do believe with all my heart-
