We Love Annie

28, Dec 2008

Hello friends!  Did you have a good Christmas?  We sure did.  We definitely missed being with family, but it was nice to celebrate a “Family Christmas” with a few good friends in Seoul.  You can see photos from that by clicking on the Christmas tree:

But today’s blog is dedicated to our friend, Annie– also known [...]

Kickin’ It in Geumchon

14, Mar 2008

Here is the debut music video of the EV Boyz, our friends Brian, Mike and Christian from the English Village in Paju.  Geumchon is the downtown area of our old country town of Paju, and it’s about the most exciting thing Paju has going (which isn’t saying much).
These guys are hilarious, and though you probably [...]

Road Trippin’

21, Sep 2007

We have lived in Korea for 14 months now, and we have hardly gotten out of the Seoul area and into the rest of Korea. Well, that’s about to change! This weekend through Wednesday is the Korean Thanksgiving holiday called Chuseok. We have work off, the motorcycle is tuned up, and we’re [...]

Fairy Tale Marriage Proposal

2, Sep 2007

This video is amazing.  Our friends Baz and Katie met and fell in love at the English Village, and now they’re back in the States.  This week, Baz popped the question to Katie in a very Baz sort of way…

On our way out

29, Jul 2007

We’ve been packing all weekend.  This is the first time Adam and I will actually be prepared for a move.  I think we may finally be growing up a little.  :).
I have two days left working at English Village.  We had a really nice farewell party last night, and now we’re really ready to begin [...]

English Village music videos

5, Jul 2007

Our Korean home, English Village, is constantly the set for photo shoots, music videos, TV and film. Here are two music videos recently shot that show a lot of the Village.
*In the first video, when they are sitting on the bench, they are directly below our apartment window.
*In the second video, keep your eyes [...]

Transitioning, growing

3, Jul 2007

Adam and I are in one of those spots.  One of those transitional phases.  We’re very near the end of our first year in Korea.  Our year at English Village.  We’re preparing to move to Seoul in just a few weeks, and we’re feeling a potent mix of nostalgia, melancholia, anticipation and home-sickness.  I’ll speak [...]

Canadian Romanian Korean American

2, Jul 2007

This has surely been the week of parties (see photo sets for the Mexican Fiesta and Cheryl’s Birthday), and tonight was no exception.
Happy Canada Day, eh!  It took moving to Asia for me to learn that America’s northern neighbors celebrate their big patriotic holiday on July 1.  Who knew?  …I think they’re just copying.  Tonight, [...]

Going Local

18, Jun 2007

Nearing the year-mark of our arrival in Korea, Adam and I are getting into the next level of Korean culture.

One, we’re shopping for our first apartment really in Korea. You probably know, we live in a theme park called the English Village an hour north of Seoul, on the border of North Korea. [...]

What’s going on

12, Jun 2007

It’s Tuesday evening, which is Friday afternoon according to my current work schedule.  I’ll be off at 9:00 tonight, then I’ll jump the bus into Seoul to be with Adam for my weekend.
Last week, Adam finished his schoolwork for the summer, and immediately a job fell into his lap.  This is his second week staying [...]
