The ROKS Pohang - Things to do in Pohang

The ROKS Pohang is a Pohang class Corvette warship which was converted into a museum in 2009. Admission is free and it gives you a chance to see (and play with) a vital part of the South Korean Navy.

It is located in the center of downtown Pohang in South Korea, docked in the center of the canal.

If you're looking for something to do in Pohang give this stop some serious consideration.

Take the time to walk the strip in Pohang

You'll meet great people.

You'll find great bargains.

You'll eat so much street food you'll want to die.

Take the time.

The Seoul of Korea

It might sound like a cliche' but you have to see Seoul. Now is a great time to travel to Seoul.
Every chance we get we delve into the captiol of Korea with open minds, open hearts, and more often than not... open pockets. Just recently we took a jounrey up North to the New York of Korea. This time we visited the spattering of palaces that sit like time travelers in the center of the city.

We also popped up to Seoul tower to get a commanding 360* view of the city. From this height you can see the vast Korean empire as it was and as it is.

We found that the most convenient way to get there is to take the KTX. For about 40,000W you can get a great rate on Korea's fastest bullet train. See the sights in style. 

Time to see Korea!

When the time comes to see Korea you might want to consider either a motorcycle or a rental car. We've used both for years now. When we road tripped to the DMZ we rented a car. For us it was super easy. You just need a passport and a driver's license. We went the extra mile and got an International Driver's Permit. All we had to do was go to AAA in the USA and show them our driver's license. For 15 dollars they print you our an international license and you're good to go.

To rent a car in Korea it should cost you about 150,000W or $130 for four days. Awesome.

You can even get a propane fueled car and save some extra cash on fuel.

The motorcycle was even classier though. 

For 300,000 W or about $300 we got this sweet beauty. $20 a month in fuel and endless miles of pristine Korean highway.

I never felt so alive.

Wandering Wednesdays.

 

 

Now that the boy and I are back in the States, we decided that we would conduct most of our Wandering Wednesdays from places we love in the U.S.  So for our first inaugural stateside WW, we wandered ourselves straight down to a local Spokane watering-hole.  Twigs Bistro and Martini Bar is a great stop for anyone with an appetite and a thirst for a delicious martini. The boy's choice?  The well-mannered dirty martini.  That's really the name.  I opted for a refreshing huckleberry lemonade martini.  It was fantastic.   

Helloooo America!

Well, I'm officially back on American soil with a belly full of pad thai and hard cider.  So many things have happened since my last post that I don't even know where to start.

Let's go with what's the most exciting to me at the moment:  The boy and I (aka Captain and Clark) will officially be attending the Nomading Film Festival.  Yeah I know, that's nothing new.  We were always planning on going, however, we just learned a week ago that our Sak Yant video is one of eleven that will be screened at the festival!   That's HUGE people.  HUGE.  It is such an honor to be accepted along with such a high caliber of other travelers and film makers.  We could even win the grand prize- a trip to India!  I was in utter shock and amazement.  I was excited to just have the opportunity to attend (and eat from the taco truck) but now we'll be able to watch our work on screen.  We're incredibly grateful.

Let's see... what else is there.  Oh, the boy and I were also invited to submit a video for the Best of the Road contest.  We could win an all expense paid road trip around the U.S.  The good news is that they're accepting 5 teams for this awesome adventure.  The bad news?  We are so so soooo late.  The last day to submit is tomorrow and we're working on our video now.  Oops.  To be fair, we've been moving our entire lives from South Korea to the States and we've been a little distracted.  If you don't mind, we would really appreciate it if you could lend a few minutes of your time (and a few clicks of your mouse) to register and vote for Captain and Clark.  You can do that by clicking here. 

Other than that, we've been busy soaking up America the best way we can... by eating.  A lot.  I've indulged in various cheeses, deli meat, beverages, and a variety of food that I've missed the past two years.  I also experienced one of the best long distance international plane rides of my life.  Here's my little piece of advice for you...

... exit row seating!  Right by the boarding door.  There's more legroom that you can handle.  It was amazing!  No one to push my tray table into my gut, no slinking in my chair in order to stretch my legs.  Also, if you're friendly to the flight attendants, they might even slip you the 1st class wine and food.  My glass and stomach were never empty.  I was also the very first person off of the plane.  Bonus.

A lot times the airlines will let you choose or request your seat.  If you're fully capable of responding in an emergency situation I would totally suggest you take the exit row seat.  It was more than worth it.

Well, that's all the updates I (and I suspect, you) can handle in one post.  Hope everyone's doing well and I'll be sure to keep you updated on our up and coming adventures!

Wandering Wednesday.

Well, the boy and Ares kitten are officially on American soil as I type this.  I'm currently sitting in a nearly empty apartment sans boyfriend and cat.  It's been pretty weird, let me tell you.  The good news is I can watch as many episodes of Gossip Girl without any heavy stares of judgement.  The bad news?  I'm sans boyfriend and cat. 

I've slowly and begrudgingly started packing up my things and I just so happened to stumble across an old airplane barf bag (what's the politically correct term for those things?) crammed into a corner of my suitcase that had my messy handwriting scribbled all over it.  It brought back so many memories from my time spent in the Bolivian Amazon and thought it would be a perfect (and easy) entry for this week's wandering wednesday. 

After a harrowing plane ride to Rurrenabaque, a three hour canoe ride, and a one hour hike, we finally arrived at our destination:  A small ecolodge nestled deep inside the Amazon jungle.  We were warned ahead of time that all of the stops would be pulled out for a group of Amercans experiencing the wild jungle for their first time.  As we slowly entered the clearing and came out of the jungle, a man stood waiting for us, extending a silver platter topped with glasses of lemonade. 

I remember relaxing on a hammock right outside of the small wooded hut I was staying in.  It was hot and humid.  You could hear cappuccin monkeys in the distance and the swaying of the hammock was lulling me into a peaceful sleep.  There were echoes of laughter in the distance from my fellow travel companions cooling off in a nearby lake.  All of a sudden, it started to rain.  You could smell the floral fragrance of the rainforest and in that moment, everything was perfect.  It was undeniable

that God exists.
