I’ve heard about a number of people getting lost en route to Seokbulsa, a temple in Busan, South Korea. Here are directions and some footage on getting there from Mandeok Station. I think this is the most straightforward route (as you can also hike from Hwamyeong or Oncheonjang). [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti5oGJ-yxZU&w=640&h=360] Most directions to this temple…

Anapji Pond – Throwback Thursday
Here I am super-duper excited to tell you all about Anapji Pond, and I find out it’s a man-made, artificial pond. Well…uh-oh.

Thanks to Janna on a Jaunt (jannaonajaunt.com/) for suggesting this video, and to YOU for watching it!

How I got my first job in Korea

That Liebster Love
Remember that time I was like: “What’s a Liebster Award? Why haven’t I been nominated? Why haven’t I WON!”? Well, for starters, the Liebster Award is kind of like the best kind of chain letter. This award is only passed on to bloggers who are valued within your niche or community, and coming up on…
