Read MoreFun in Fukuoka
For many years, a trip to Fukuoka, Japan was part of the package when working in Korea. Foreigners, especially teachers, were required to get the visas outside of the country and then return to get their alien registration card. The so-called “visa run” was typically paid for by the employer and allowed many foreigners to get a taste of Japan…

Read More5 Great Places to See Cherry Blossoms in Ulsan
When it comes to top places for viewing cherry blossoms, Ulsan is sadly not on many of the lists if at all. That could be because we are so close to places like Gyeongju, which is famous for its blossoms. However, there are a few great spots worth checking out in Ulsan. Here are the top 5: Haksung Park Located…

Read MoreHwangnidan-Gil: Gyeongju’s Trendiest Street
The one thing that has always impressed me about Gyeongju was the fact that everyone in this area has been there numerous times and still it is a busy place on weekends and holidays. The reason for that, I believe, is that although the sites are centuries old, the city keeps reinventing itself. The recent trend of “instagramable” locations and…

Read More10 Reasons to Visit Nampo-Dong, Busan
Photos and Words by Jason Teale 10 years ago when I first arrived to Korea, I went on a day trip to Busan with a friend who was interested in photography. We ended up in a place that had camera shops stacked almost on top of each other. I thus named this area “Camera Street” and proceeded to spend millions…

Read MoreThe Ulsan Metropolitan Library
April 2018 The Ulsan Metropolitan Library recently opened it’s doors near Samsandong. This modern library is a great addition to Ulsan and an extremely functional space for the public. What makes this library great is the fact that they made great use of the space making something that is enjoyable for all ages with modern up-to-date features. Getting a Library Card In order to take books home, you will need a library card. You can use any computer in the library to register or online here (Korean language Only). Once you have registered, you can then take your Alien Registration Card to the information desk and they will issue you your card. If you have a card already from any other library in the city, you can use it at the Ulsan Metropolitan Library. Sadly, the registration uses either your phone or i-Pin registration, so if you are having trouble, please talk to the helpful staff and they will get you sorted out. You also don’t need a library card to enjoy the services there. From what I saw, you can read and use the space without having a library card. Outside the Library One of the great things about this place is that they took notice of the grounds and created useable spaces...

Winter in Korea is no laughing matter, even for those of us from Canada. Heating an apartment no matter the size can get extremely expensive. Not to mention, the Korean floor heating system or “ondol” can also be a bit confusing. Hopefully this guide can help you stay warm this year and keep your bills in check. Mastering the Ondol One of the hardest things to master in Korea beyond the language is the heating system. When I first...
Read MoreGuide to Online Shopping 2017
A lot has changed in the time that I have been here. One of the biggest changes (and a welcomed one) is the recent ease that one can order items off the internet and have them shipped right to your door. While Korea is arguably lightyears ahead of many places with regards to domestic online shopping and their amazing taek-bae delivery system, as foreigners we often suffer when trying to order items from home. In recent years, things have...
Read MoreUlsan: Then and Now
It was almost this time way back in 2003, when I stepped off the plane and met the recruiters who brought me to my first hogwan. It was located in Samsandong and although it has changed names a few times the school is still there. Looking back, it was an interesting time because I was a new teacher and living in an area that was not the most cosmopolitan of places at that moment. Ulsan was still primarily a...

I just wanted to update everyone on the fact that we are back up and running. It was a stressful time as this has quite possibly been the worst hack that I have ever had to deal with.

To the best of my knowledge it was a perfect storm of events that caused the downfall of...
