Vacation

Until next Friday (4th of February, 2005) I will be working at Ulsan Language Academy.
I still find it amusing that Korean teachers have to attend our classes whilst on vacation.
If you look at the defintion of vacation below
leisure time away from work devoted to rest or pleasure; “we get two weeks of vacation every summer”; [...]

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone

In the last two weeks I have watched all three Harry Potter films, as well as listening to the audio book of the first book.
I have decided to read all five Harry Potter books. So yesterday I rode to my friends house in NamChang (40 KM round trip) and borrowed the first four books.
On [...]

Haidong Gumdo Grading

Saturday week I have a Haidong Gumdo grading.
I am really looking forward to it. My ankle has recovered sufficently that I can now run across the road, ride the bike, etc without serious pain. But there is a small pain on the inside of my left ankle near the bone that sticks outs and my [...]

Teaching

This week and next week I am working at Ulsan Language Academy. I love working there. It is a lot of fun teaching teachers.
But this week I only have five hours of class and all of that on Monday.
That leaves the rest of the week free, sounds wonderful, but I prefer to be busy.
I have [...]

Snow! Lots of it

Sunday (16th of January), woke up early (12 noon) and it was snowing!

W.O.W

Surprisingly, it was not cold. In fact it was warmer then yesterday when I went on my bike ride.
So I made a snowman, picked snow fights with small children (and lost). Lots of fun.
Met a nice man, Mr Kim who works in the [...]

First Big bike Ride for 2005

I was reading the Ulsan Pear, December 2004 issue and it mentioned that there was a building with lots of computer shops in it.
Obviously I had to find it, as Ulsan is really lacking in good computer stores.
So how to get there? Well its a perfect excuse to go for a ride. It was [...]

Movie Review: Sky Captain and the World of tomorrow, Antz

Watched “Sky Captain and the World of tomorrow”. The story did not really grab me , “Giant Robts attack New York in the 1930?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s.”
Some aspects of the film were good such as the retro 30′s sci-fi look complete with very little use of colour, most of the film appeared to be black and [...]
