Siquijor: Trying, but failing, to debunk the myth
The time was almost midnight. It was our first night at our bamboo cottage. We looked around and wondered whether the nipa wall could survive an attack. From what, we didn't know. The horror legends are enough to scare us out of our wits. We hear a scream just a few meters behind our cottage.... Continue Reading →

Jeonju Hanok Village: Why you should stay the night
Aka: 전주한옥마을 'A day trip in Jeonju' is a guide I have read far too many times from too many blogs. I guess it only shows how busy the people of Seoul are, or how little time tourists can allot in this so-called Slow City. I can't really blame them. But after spending a night... Continue Reading →
Jeonju: A hormonal trip back in time

Biking along Han Gang… And finding our way to Seoul Forest
It was really a pity we didn't get to spend as much time as we wanted in Seoul Forest. At that time I badly wished we didn't lose all that time getting lost. One day I hope I could come back with a mat, a basket full of food, and a good book. I wish one day I could return to Seoul and spend a whole day doing nothing, not feeling the need to hurry, because I have a lot of time. I would need a full month for that kind of 'vacation.'
