Swimming pool

Swimming pool

This is my first time swimming at the Yeongcheon pool, which I believe is the only public swimming facility here. It’s government-run and seems to be used for swimming competitions. I paid at the counter instead of using the kiosk machine, and then proceeded to the pool area after going through a hallway with treadmills….

Eworld tirp

Eworld tirp

The pleasant weather was ideal for a family outing. My family and I planned a visit to Eworld, a theme park in Daegu that boasts numerous rides and a zoo. The weather is a significant factor in enjoying an outdoor park. Although it was suitable for photography, it was rather cool. Upon arrival, I felt quite cold…

Denied Garbage

Denied Garbage

I observed that garbage collectors may refuse overweight garbage bags.  A review of the garbage sticker revealed that the bag exceeded the weight limit. This is a prudent safety measure for sanitation workers, as it helps prevent injuries. I sincerely hope that all sanitation workers remain safe on the job. Improved workplace safety measures are…

Saw a car crash again

Saw a car crash again

I witnessed a strange and unsettling car accident, eerily similar to one I saw recently nearby. Both accidents involved a car turning while another proceeded straight. Sadly, this accident involved Hakwon’s car, and there’s a possibility that some students were in it. I recently observed two multi-vehicle car accidents. I also remember several near-misses involving cars and…

Review of Gyeongbuk Multi-Child Family Agricultural Products Support Project

Review of Gyeongbuk Multi-Child Family Agricultural Products Support Project

It has a voucher to purchase agricultural products online. After several attempts to find desirable items, I finally discovered a lovely local product. Its attractive packaging and printed local name make it an excellent souvenir. It feels as though I’ve visited MunGyeong. I was unaware that the region was renowned for Omija. The wafer has a subtly…

(1) Review of Our Neighborhood Dad’s Classroom

(1) Review of Our Neighborhood Dad’s Classroom

I appreciate the organizers’ kind reminder about Saturday’s class. Their message specifying the location and necessary materials was very helpful. I haven’t experienced a class exclusively for fathers before. Many children’s programs seem geared towards mothers and children. This class’s subject is Read Aloud with Dad. After a short introduction to my father’s classroom, I noticed…

Car crash 💥

Car crash 💥

This is my first time witnessing a car accident. I can see activity inside the bus.  Many police cars, ambulances, and people are gathering, and some officers are working to prevent a second accident. Paramedics are carefully removing the injured driver from the car, which appears to be difficult. The injured person seems to be…

Art road 🎨

Art road 🎨

I saw this awesome painting on my walk down those narrow paths. It’s gorgeous, a real eye-catcher, but you wouldn’t easily notice it.  It was such a happy surprise to stumble upon it! I had no idea it was even there. I found this awesome painting path in Busan, you know? Some parts are in…

Okay, let’s hear a story!

Okay, let’s hear a story!

It is always a pleasure when someone reads books to children. I understand that I should read to them more often, but it isn’t always easy.  The Yeongcheon library offers a weekly children’s reading service. This week, I was able to bring my children to the children’s section of the library. Fortunately, there were no…

PoomSae

PoomSae

I had anticipated watching a taekwondo match, but unfortunately, it concluded just before my arrival. Many people were practicing Poomsae both inside and outside the stadium. I found it difficult to understand the scoring system and determine the superior competitors. I observed performances from various locations. It appeared to be a judged team competition.  The…

Virtual taekwondo

Virtual taekwondo

Virtual taekwondo’s a new thing, and I’m not quite sure what it is.  I’ve seen some videos online, but I really want to see it live.  It seems safe; nobody gets hurt, and anyone can play, regardless of age or gender. Scoring’s only for hits within the playing area, and there’s no physical contact, which…

Horseback riding

Horseback riding

The weather has been sunny. Recently, I dined at a Chinese restaurant and observed a horseback rider in the distance; this was a novel sight, as I have not encountered such a calming presence in my previous urban residences. While I have seen horses at tourist destinations, the experience here is notably more serene and conducive…
