Martina's Trip to Jeju Island

Share

If you haven't been to Jeju Island, you're missing out on your Korean experience. Jeju is a tiny island located at the most southern point of Korea. It is known as the Hawaii of Korea, and it lives up to the name with palm trees, volcanic rocks, and gorgeous beaches. It is a totally different world, and you don't even think you're in Korea anymore...except for all the Korean people. Anyhow, Martina was lucky enough to go on a trip to Jeju Island with the entire second year grade of her school. They had only three jam-packed days of non-stop action in an attempt to see and do as much as they could. Of course, she documented the whole trip. Too bad she had to leave Simon and Spudgy at home! They got to enjoy some male bonding while she frolicked with her girls! Click on the picture above to see Martina's Trip to Jeju Island, or check out the sidebar for different formats.

Korean Monsoon Season

Share

Last year we posted some pictures about Korean Monsoon Season. We think that we gave off the impression, though, that rainy season is all cute and sweet, with nice umbrellas and cute outfits and all. So we decided to post a video about the horrors of monsoon season. We waited for an especially nasty storm to hit Bucheon, then went outside to brave the storm and record some crazy footage. You'll never believe how bold some people are! Sure, you'd go out in the rain with an umbrella, but would you go grocery shopping on a bike with an umbrella in one hand through a monsoon?! Didn't think so! So here it is, Korea's Monsoon Season in all it's horror. Click on the picture above for the video, or check the sidebar for other formats.

Korean Street Food Wonderfulness!

Share

Yes, we're in the habit of redoing old movies. Call it nostalgia, call it laziness: frankly, we just look at our old movies and cringe. So we updated our old Street Food video to be a bit more comprehensive. Also, look at how we've changed in a year! Now you can watch us order Korean street food without merely grunting and pointing our fingers! We'll show you how to order, what to order, and how much it costs. If you're in Bucheon as well, make sure you go to the lady between Hyundai Department Store and The Mall. Her food is, hands down, the best we've had in Bucheon. So click on the picture above for our Korean Street Food video, or view it in different formats in the sidebar.

A bit of an apology as well: we haven't posted in nearly a month because we were actually making videos every week. Remember the Battle for Bucheon at Rhythm and Booze (if not, look down three posts). Every week we've been judging the contests, but - what's more relevant - we've also been making videos of every battle. We'll post the whole collection as soon as we're done with the finals video. As well, we spent a week at a Gepik workshop, either giving speeches about classroom management or helping with other things. Thanks to those of you who have contacted us from the workshop. Finally, we did a podcast over at SeoulPodcast.com, so you can hear us talk about Korea, teaching, Western Food, what's in our fridge, and other stuff from us that you wouldn't hear otherwise.
