		<description><![CDATA[Back in the U.S., the Korean War is often referred to as the “Forgotten War.”  It might be said then in S. Korea that it’s a war the people would like to forget, but can’t.  Looking around at all the high rise buildings, cell phone shops and internet cafes, it is difficult to imagine that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is perhaps my first ever official retraction here on Gyeongjublog.  In my last post I was complaining about the terrible selection of western restaurants here in Gyeongju.  Although my criticisms regarding “craptapulous fast-food joints” and “so-called Italian restaurants downtown” still stand, I made these comments before being introduced to the fine dining of 11 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Christmas” and “Gyeongju” are probably mentioned in the same sentence about as often as “Nascar” and “feta cheese.”  However, like any tourist destination with a thriving resort industry, Christmas does indeed come to Gyeongju, and it does so with its own unique style.    Over the last decade Christmas in Korea has gone from being observed [...]]]></description>

I’ve been swamped with writing papers for my Masters degree, so I haven’t had much time for blogging I’m afraid.

		<description><![CDATA[Unfortunately, this is another story that’s coming just a bit late for summer vacation, but then again I’m one of those odd folks who actually prefer going to the beach in autumn.  Perhaps the subtle melancholy in the air suites my temperament more, or maybe I just don’t like crowded beaches in summer.  Either way, [...]]]></description>
