The Beast of Gajisan

“Are we going hiking today??”

Gajisan is one of the more famous mountains near Ulsan.  I believe I heard it was also one of the highest.  Only two days after Chris and Leide arrived, we attempted to tame this beast. Teaming together with Jenna, we all headed out at the crack of NOON to catch a bus to Seoknamsa (the name of the Buddhist temple at the bottom of the mountain).  In fact we got such a late start and took our sweet time getting ready, we wondered whether or not we were actually going to make it to the mountain at all.  The catch phrase of the day became, “Are we going hiking today??” Continue reading The Beast of Gajisan

March Eggnog Tasting

What better drink to have in March than some good ol’ eggnog … wait, what?  Yes, that’s right.  I made homemade eggnog in March.  But don’t judge me just yet. There are 2 perfectly good reasons for this delicious decision.  First, I had promised some people last semester that I’d make some homemade eggnog for them during the winter.  However, this lazy body of mine couldn’t be bothered* to spend the energy then.  Also, it had been my friend Luke’s request, and since he’s leaving Korea in a couple days, I thought it was appropriate to send him off with a nice savory taste of the nog of eggs.  And it was pretty savory, if I do say so myself 😛  And even if I don’t, my friends already have 😉

*  “couldn’t be bothered” is a new phrase I’ve stolen from one of my British friends.  It’s so useful!

Second Flash goes Seaside!

Second Flash played at the new Seaside wine bar right on the beach!  This was one of our best gigs ever!  And very sadly, it was our last gig with our drummer Luke who is leaving Korea in the next couple days.  WE WILL MISS YOU LUKE!! He played that djembe like no one’s business. Awesome job man! Of course Jesse and Suji rocked the house as usual. The whole night was great! Great show guys.  Second Flash, baby!!
