With a 3 week break in Korean classes, I have a little extra time on my hands right now. So two weekends ago I headed into Seoul for a little market shopping. Shopping is everywhere in Korea, but the markets in Seoul are the best. Everything is available, and the prices are so much better than Songdo where I live, out in the burbs. I'd been meaning to get back to Bangsan Baking Market, and

MoFo Day 31, Happy Hallowe'en!
Holy last day of Vegan MoFo! I can't believe it's the end of October. Partly because the weather is still so lovely here. But mostly because I meant to post so much more during the month, and now it's gone! Nonetheless, while I haven't been posting, I've still been

Catching Up, MoFo Day 17
Good grief: internet went down for a couple days, then I just plain procrastinated. Now there's so much to catch up on!
I'll start by saying that for me, personally, Vegan MoFo is going just fantabulously! In large part because

MoFo Day 9
Today's quote comes from vegetarian Albert Schweitzer; a Nobel prize winner and remarkably accomplished human being. Though there's no evidence Schweitzer was a vegan, he expressed a reverence for all life, as detailed in his prize-winning work, The Ethics of Reverence for Life. The German title, Ehrfurcht vor dem Leben" translates literally to, "To be in awe of the mystery of life". I think that's really nice.
""Until he extends the circle of compassion to all livings things, Man will not himself find peace."
--Albert Schweitzer
Tomorrow… gobble gobble.

MoFo Day 8 and the Best Translation Ever.
I am constantly flattered by the Korean's faith in me to learn their language. Sadly, I disappoint, as my vocabulary is still painfully small. But my Charades skills are top notch and, combined with their broken English, we always manage. But I am no match for the linguistic genius of Google Translate.

MoFo
Wow! Sure did fall off the update-your-blog wagon. Well, not forgotten, just gone for a little bit, but I'm still here. And, just in time for VeganMoFo. Well, I'm a week late for that, too, I guess, but, better late than…
What IS VeganMoFo you ask??? The idea is,

Selamat Datang di Bali
After only a quick 24 hours in Kuta, Bali, I feel qualified to say that, Kuta is krazy! True to all the guidebooks and stories, this is "where the party is". The beach is beautiful, and

Raining Again...
Today was a stay-inside-all-day day, it's raining again. I'm not complaining. After 4 years in the Gulf desert, I'm a pretty big fan of rain. Though, I believe the locals are a little sick of it, it's been raining for 2 months. But it makes for some cool

Let's try this again...
Settling into my new home in Incheon, S. Korea seems like as good a time as any to make a renewed attempt at blogging. And, as a f/t student once again, I have a little more disposable time for such hobbies. So, to start, here's one of the views from our amazing 15th floor flat. This is the
