    Haemi Fortress Itinerary

    September 28, 2021 /

    We love a good day trip to Haemi Fortress. Sometimes we stop here on the way to Mallipo or other Taean beaches. Grab breakfast before getting on the road It’s going to be a big day so we usually start with a big breakfast before heading out. Our preferred pre-trip meal is galbitang because it keeps us powered up for adventures along the way. Since we live in Godeokmyeon, we usually start our adventures off at Bangil Haejangguk which opens at 8:00 am and offers tasty soups, some that rotate…

    Pyeongtaek Summer Beach Bus Details & Dates

    March 21, 2017 /

    Updated: Click Here for Updated 2018 Blog We are really SUPER excited about offering buses, leaving on select Saturdays, headed to beaches South West of Pyeongtaek. Bus travel is wonderful because you don’t have to stress about traffic, worry about driving home tired, drinking beer, etc. They are also surprisingly affordable here so it’s high time we gave this a try. The beaches where we are going are far more remote than most you will visit in Korea so they offer way more peace and relaxation than places like Busan.  …

    Beaches

    October 23, 2015 /

    Maps and beaches. These are two of my favorite things. Mostly because one leads to the other. Often I take a map and just go to places that seem like they might contain magic.  Usually, I am well rewarded. Recently this type of wandering  led me to a little slice of paradise. The water is shallow, there are sand crabs to chase, rocks to climb on, trees to rest under, and its away from the insanity. Pro Tip: Leave Pyeongtaek by 9:00am for best results.  And NEVER take the main toll…

    Mudfest is the Best

    June 19, 2015 /

    CHECK OUT THIS YEARS MUDFEST VIDEO FROM ROK LIFE < CLICK HERE > After many years, I finally made it back for a little Mudfest drama.  Despite all the reasons I want to hate Mudfest, I love it.  In fact, I have found that the more someone doesn’t want to go, the more they seem to fall in love with it when they arrive.   Of course, in three years a lot has changed.  For example, there were actually clean people at the festival.  I have no idea how this…
