		<description><![CDATA[Today I removed my outer sweater in my hot classroom only to be serenaded with a chorus of gasps and huls. &#8220;Are you hot teacher?&#8221; asked a student. Yes, I was once again breaking another of Korea&#8217;s strictly-adhered-to rules of what you do&#8211;and don&#8217;t do&#8211;during certain seaons. This one was the rule against wearing short sleeved shirts [...]]]></description>

Yu Jae-Seok!
Yu Jae-Seok is a comedian and one of six stars of Muhan Dojeon (Neverending Challenge), a show which is on Korean televison ubiquitously. It&#8217;s six fully-grown men doing silly things, like dressing up as superheroes or doing army bootcamp excercises in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From CBC.ca:
International police are closing in on the subject of a worldwide, three-year manhunt for a suspected pedophile who they believe is a 32-year-old Canadian travelling in Thailand, Interpol said Tuesday.
News reports identified the man in an unscrambled picture released last week as Christopher Paul Neil, who was working as an English teacher in South Korea.

		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;whenever I feel moved to post, anyway. I&#8217;ve taken up laziness as my new life strategy.
I&#8217;ve settled back in Gwangju, but this time on the other side of the tracks, so to speak&#8211;the cleaner, newer side of the tracks. A Korean city&#8217;s version of the suburbs, but with clusters of giant apartment towers, the glare [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m in Canada now so I have an excuse for not posting for the next two months until I get back to Gwangju. I&#8217;ll be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Korean women are crazy for make-up. My co-workers come to work under pancaked masks, usually a few degrees lighter than their natural skin shade. On women with lesser make-up application skills, this produces a clear line of demarcation where make-up ends and bare skin starts. The Korean language actually has a word to describe a person who [...]]]></description>

The island/city/country of Singapore dangles off the bottom of Malaysia, about 100km north of the equator. It was hot, but not unpleasantly so&#8211;there were no random street stenches like we have in Korea. It&#8217;s the cleanest city I&#8217;ve been in since Kyoto last October. Our hotel was located near the Little India district, where we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Took the red-eye back from Singapore to Incheon, then a four-hour bus to Gwangju, rolling into town at noon, at work by 2. Not a lot of sleep. I ate so much food in Little India that I still have a stomache ache.
Pictures up soon.
