ok, we are going to redo the gas price thing because I was wrong on the price - by a few dollars…
ok, gas as I saw it today was 1600 won, I guess maybe before I saw 1800 and thought it was 4800!!
1600 won = 1.67 dollars
1 gallon = 3.79 liters
15 gallon tank on my […]
when I let go of the fear. What was the funny thing? I’ve had an awesome two days. After writing yesterday I had the epiphany that I shoud go to the tourist information office and see what guidance they can give me. I walk in and the young lady at the desk speaks english and […]
which have been running through my mind…
gas prices: the cheapest i recall seeing it the other day was 4800 won. at the current exchange rate that is 4.99. Since most other countries in the world use the metric system and the last time i bought gas in a foreign country this was the case, i […]
On to a new, smaller city. I’ve spent the later morning, early afternoon hours wandering around getting myself oriented to this new place and checking out the neighborhood. My guidebook has been less than helpful once again in giving me any guidance. I do have to say tho, the point of the lonely planet books […]
I started watching cnn late yesterday afternoon - it was night time for you guys in the states so I was getting the news as it was fresh from the beginning. And maybe my day today didn’t go so well cause I’m also pissed at the airport security people.
YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THIS IS […]
I’m pissed at my guidebook today, although it isn’t the fault of the folks at lonely planet if things have changed in the past two years. I think in an earlier post I said the guidebook was four years old, today I checked and it is only two years old, but even still a bunch […]
Yesterday I decided I was going to brave the world of the intercity bus terminal and take a day trip away from Daejeon. Even though I was awake from 2am-5am (to make up for my afternoon nap yesterday!) I got up around 8 and kept telling myself I was going to do this and it […]
not on broadway, in korea. you know those pictures you see of any given asian city be it hong kong, tokyo or seoul? They are true. The neon lights are beyond description! Yesterday I had an assult on my sense of smell in the market - at night I have an assult of my vision, […]
Korea is not for the faint of heart, or for those not willing to try. I’ve been in Daejeon for two days now and there are very few people who speak english. I had to book my hotel using a variety of sign language and my terrible korean taken from my phrasebook - an item […]
I made it! And so far it has been uneventful. I think fourteen hour plane rides are like tatoo pain, you eventually forget how painful it was. Just four hours after I got off the plane it does not seem like I was on it for that long. It is somewhere around 83-pm for me […]
