Green sausage

Green tea cake, green tea cappuccino, green tea ice cream .... green tea sausage?!
Nope, chilli sausage thank goodness!

Global Gathering in Korea


After a couple of interesting experiences at Korean festivals we decided to give it one more go at Global Gathering and this time we were pleasently surprised! The festival was at Carribean Bay, usually it is a waterpark but the water had been drained out for winter, this made for quite a surreal setting, lots of pirates and waterslides alongside drum and bass and dance music! We made some new friends and saw a few acts including London Elektricity and Orbital, both of whom were great, so great in fact Jack felt the need to go and shake their hands, luckily he didn't get thrown out! We ended up back at home at 9.30 on Sunday morning with a pair of flashing Minnie Mouse ears .... how Korean!

Family visit

Korean BBQ
On Saturday I said goodbye to my family who came to visit us for a week. I put them up in the local love motel (which was actually quite nice) and organised a substitute teacher so we could have a few days off. I  jam packed the week with activities including Hongdae nights out, cycling along the Han river, hiking, lots of BBQ, Nami Island trip, fishy experiences, a cat cafe and the DMZ tour! By the end of it we were all truely exhausted, luckily we had a couple of days holiday this week to recover, although they might need another holiday!
 Live prawns and fish head soup, yum!
