On our way out to Mr. Toilet House in Suweon a week or so ago, we stopped by Banweol Lake, a nice 15-minute drive from our house outside Ansan. It's not one of the prettiest parks around, seeing as how it's surrounded on all sides now by highways and the...
Sim Jae-Duck’s nickname as a child was “dog shit” because he was born in an outhouse. Apparently he liked that though because he went on to become the Mayor of Suweon with the slightly better moniker of “Mr. Toilet”. During his tenure as mayor, Mr. Toilet worked to improve toilets...

The previous header photo on this photoblog of Myunghee, Treasure and Cauvery taken at the 2009 Tulip Festival in Seongpo-Dong was over two years old. We've taken lots of photos since then and I'd been wanting to update the header photo, but I hadn't been able to find a recent...
Following up on my previous post about the Cheil Country Club Cherry Blossom Festival not having cherry blossoms, here are some more photos with people in them. Nojeok Hill can be seen pointing up in the second photo below.
I'm sure the area looked a lot more beautiful before the ugly concrete bridge got built, but then how would we have gotten across to take photos from both sides of the river?! (Click here to visit in Google Maps.) During the summer, there's bungee jumping from the bridge in...
Visiting the temple was interesting; but nothing unexpected there. What was really fascinating for us was to walk up the hill behind and find it covered in foxholes, a network of semi-submerged walkways and even a concrete bunker. The Korean War didn't seem to have been from such a distant...
We're on a quick trip up near the DMZ today visiting some places I haven't been before. This area is north of the 38th parallel and was under Communist rule before the Korean War. One of the spots we stopped by yesterday was this building, which served as the North...

These photos are from the meeting on Thursday morning where Governor Kim showed a lot of interest in me and my role with the province, telling the Koreans in the room to make use of me in promoting GyeongGi Province. This followed a dialogue of about five minutes where he...
