"Travel is fatal to bigotry, prejudice and narrow-mindedness. Broad, wholesome and charitable views cannot be acquired by vegetating in one tiny corner of the globe" -Mark Twain

In Toronto

We are in Toronto until next Thursday, August 23rd, providing our visa comes through by then. It appears that the Immigration Office in Korea is taking their sweet time with our documents, but we're crossing our fingers that our visa issuance number will arrive tonight or tomorrow. Until then, we're visiting with family & friends here and heading out to Laura's brother's wedding on Saturday for a much-anticipated reunion with our favourite Brusselite. We would love to see any & all in Toronto, so give us a call or an e-mail if you are in town!

  • Developed a serious kimbap addiction (Libby)
  • Discovered "hohta", a delicious syrup-filled pancake sold on the street
  • Enjoyed the changing colours at Gyeryongsan National Park
  • Explored a few of the sights of Seoul
  • Explored King Muryeong's Tomb in Gongju
  • Had a fabulous multi-national Christmas Eve party
  • Imbibed numerous potent long-island iced teas at Daejeon's "Lucky Strike" bar
  • Learned how to direct a Taxi in Korean
  • Learned how to read Korean...mostly
  • Ran a 10-k race (Dan), and training for more
  • Taking a pottery class (Libby)
  • Tasted deep-fried ginseng (not recommended)!
  • Visited Tim in Pohang, and ate dinner with a Japanese monk in Gyeongju
  • Watched a Daejeon Citizen's Football match
