I just came across news about a former court poet for North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, who escaped North Korea and has become a best-selling author in South Korea. The poet goes by the name of Jang Jin-sung, and his poems portray the horrors of poverty and hunger in North Korea.
I felt I have to [...]

A quite moment at the graveside, complete with traffic jam up top.
It&#8217;s become the routine for Sunah and me, when celebrating Chosuk and the Chinese New Year, to begin the day at 4.30 am and to get home around 10 pm. This Chosuk was no different. We were out of the house by around 5.20 [...]

Not long after arriving in Korea, I was informed that it wasn&#8217;t easy for foreigners to get a credit card.  No reason was given. People just said, &#8220;It&#8217;s not easy.&#8221; As time went on, I didn&#8217;t need a reason, anyway, as I was becoming aware that, as a foreigner in Korea, having to overcome [...]

A chill went up my spine and tingling down my legs when I watched these guys go to work. I used to be pretty fearless, when I was young, and even went parachuting a couple of times. But I could never do what these guys were doing.
They were here to inspect all the seals on [...]

(All sculptures pictured in this post are at Olympic Park in Seoul)
As a foreigner in Korea, I think I am afforded certain privileges or exceptions the locals don&#8217;t as readily allow to each other. I&#8217;m looked on as a guest here, and that means that Koreans will often go out of their way to help [...]

Each year around mid August Korea celebrates Chosuk, a harvest season celebration during which Korean families come together to thank ancestors for life&#8217;s bounty. It&#8217;s celebrated in much the same way as the first day of the Lunar New Year: festivities take place over a three day period, relatives are visited and thanks and offerings [...]

It&#8217;s six months on and I&#8217;m in the Seoul groove of being constantly busy. I&#8217;ve also moved from my tiny studio to another more permanent tiny studio on campus. The pictures here are of that. Now it only takes me about six minutes to get to work by hiking over a hill. It&#8217;s an ideal [...]

Part of Deoksugung Palace in the middle of the city.
It seems that Korean society is one where everything has its place and certain situations require certain procedures. When people die, for example, the funeral proceedings take around 3 days to complete. People come by to pay their respects and the immediate family needs to be [...]

The picture above was taken from my studio building looking up the road towards where I work, Seoul National University. But it&#8217;s not so sunny today as it was the day that was taken. Actually, it&#8217;s rained all day today, and I&#8217;ve discovered that my umbrella is the kind that will actually let water through [...]

I&#8217;m having what I could only be described as a most interesting, and so far happy, time. There is something new everywhere I look, naturally, and although that will likely wear off, I doubt I&#8217;ll get sick of the food. I won&#8217;t tire either of the helpfulness and politeness of Koreans, which has left me [...]
