EPIK 365 Day 255: Particularly Moving Statue

You can't see it in the picture, but inside the sphere is a relief map of North and South Korea.  One half the North is raised and on the other half the South is raised.  So, theoretically, the two halves will fit together if the sphere was pushed together…if the sphere is unified.

EPIK 365 Day 254: Comma Cafe

So, this wonderful place exists!!  It's called the Comma Cafe and is in Hongdae.  It's a combination coffee shop and book store…and it is wonderful.  It's also set up with individual study carrels so students can come and study.  It also has free wifi.

Take Line 2 (Green Line) to Hongik University Station, exit 8.  Walk straight until you get to the round-a-bout in the large intersection.  Cross the street to your right and it is on the corner.

EPIK 365 Day 253: This Always Strikes Me as the Ultimate in Hope

Quite often in writing assignments, especially ones about the future, my students will mention hope for a unified Korea.  I think it's a wonderful thought, but Anthropologically-speaking, I don't see how it will happen.  It was striking for me to notice that, even at the DMZ, the message of unification is still so strong.

EPIK 365 Day 252: New Friends

Hanging with my new friends at the DMZ.  Also, Memphis Tigers Represent!

EPIk 365 Day 251: Avengers Assemble...

Or whatever their call to action is.  I have no idea.  Anyway, Captain America and Ironman have made it.

EPIk 365 Day 250: DMZ

This weekend took me on an adventure to the Demilitarized Zone (or DMZ)…it wasn't the full, to the border trip, but it was only $30.  Can't really complain.  Anyway, when I have a bit more money I plan on taking the full tour.  You can also look forward to a full-length post on this trip soon!

EPIK 365 Day 249: Political Rally

With modern communication technology, we've lost a lot of political savvy…there's something to be said for a good old-fashioned political campaign speech held in the middle of town.
