Last week I had the Tuesday off for Buddha's Birthday.Unfortunately it rained, so we went to a local Pool Hall.Graham goes here quite often with our friend who finishes work earlier than me, but this was my first time.It's pretty much like any Pool Hall you would get in England, except it is brighter and you can take your own beer in.The other difference is that there is only one pool table with pockets!The Koreans play 'Sagu' which means 'Four Balls' on tables...

Last Thursday was Children's Day; therefore we had the day off work.So on Wednesday night we went along to a new bar to celebrate having the next day off.The beer was pretty cheap, it's very close to my school, and has a balcony with seating out the front, so I think we'll be there a lot over the next few months!As I think I've mentioned before, in Korea you are supposed to order food when drinking. However, as foreigners we can usually get away with not doing ...

This week Graham has been out taking pictures of the Cherry Blossom trees, as they look so fantastic at the moment, and only last for a couple of weeks.As well as taking pictures down the streets, he also climbed the mountain again to get further pictures.I forgot to mention that there was a mini bush fire on the mountain a few weeks back and Graham was there to see all the action, whilst I was at work.I think he should become a reporter in the field!Whilst he ...
