Website Gallery Updates

11/02/2011

Well, I've been able to get some of the photo galleries uploaded on the main website.  Since there's so many pics, it'll take a bit to get them all posted.  In the meantime, thanks for your patience... and I hope you enjoy seeing a bit of some of the beautiful places here in Asia.

Major Changes and a New Website

10/27/2011

Well, it's been a long time in coming...

While I was traveling through Vietnam this summer, I got a notification that my domain name for ricksinkorea.com was expiring.  I was trying to get things fixed... but when you're on the road for a month at a time, sometimes that's easier said than done.

When I got back to Seoul, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with the blog.  I'd become a bit frustrated, since there was so much I wanted to post-- but much of it was in the way of pictures, etc. that I just wasn't able to do well here.  So, I just let things sit in limbo for way too long while trying to figure out the best solution.

Finally, the decision was made to build a full website... not just run the blog.  The blog will continue here, with (hopefully) more frequent posts than before, but now I'll be able to upload full photo-galleries of the various sights/trips, as well as post helpful links/info.

If you've been following the blog, you can click "home" on the toolbar above to go directly to the new site as well.

Hope you guys enjoy.

Teacher's Day

5/16/2011

Here in Korea, May 15 (yesterday) is Teacher's Day.  This is DEFINITELY a holiday that should be picked up back in the United States.

The students bring gifts for their teachers.  I was given a virtual garden of flowers:




I also received cards, candy, some really nice men's facial lotion/aftershave/deodorant from Chanel and Kiehl's, and 100,000KW (about $90) from the PTA, but the gift that really shocked me was... an engraved pen from Mont Blanc:

If you're not familiar with Mont Blanc.... well, the metal on the pen is platinum and that's a sapphire on the clip.
