Out there, doing that

Bangkok, Thailand

Posted on December 30, 2018December 30, 2018 by Jason Andrews

We rolled into Bangkok road weary, battered, bruised and suffering from a range of maladies: food poisoning, bed bug bites, mosquito bites, a cold and lots of scrapes and bruises from canyoneering. We had a week’s worth of laundry to do and were in much need of an internet connection. Bangkok is our gateway to…

Cebu, Philippines

Posted on December 25, 2018December 25, 2018 by Jason Andrews

In our search of “what to do in the Philippines”, Cebu and the surrounding area stood out for nice beaches, some interesting geographic sites, and the whale sharks. Originally we planned five days in the area, but this leg of the trip became compressed between the Elephant Reserve in Thailand and expanded travels through Korean…

El Nido, Philippines

Posted on December 21, 2018April 1, 2019 by Jason Andrews

We flew to El Nido directly from Tokyo. You can’t pick more complete opposites from a size, cleanliness and social norm perspective. Tokyo is one of the largest cities in the world while you can walk across the town of El Nido in 15 minutes. Japan was obsessive about germs, waste, and toilet hygiene and…

Thrilla in Manilla

Posted on December 18, 2018December 18, 2018 by Jason Andrews

Yes – this title is based on the Mohammed Ali fight slogan. We had different drama. Our next stop after Japan was the Philippines. This country was a late addition to the itinerary after we opted not to go to Australia. Having never been here, we chose our destinations and routes very diligently: we googled…

Japan

Posted on December 14, 2018December 14, 2018 by Jason Andrews

We have just wrapped up the second leg of our “Cold Weather” trip having spent the past week exploring Kyoto and Tokyo.   Our arrival into Osaka from Busan and transport to Kyoto was pretty smooth and painless, with the only challenge being the final AirBnB check in under a driving rain.  We stayed in…

Korean Food

Posted on December 13, 2018December 13, 2018 by Jason Andrews

We’ve wrapped up our Korea stay and have moved on to Japan.  We’ve been steadily catching up on content and editing after technical / software challenges the first week.  The food here in Japan is good, but everyone loved the food in Korea.  As you can see from this video, we ate A LOT of…

Busan, Korea

Posted on December 9, 2018December 24, 2018 by Jason Andrews

We wrapped up our Korean journey by spending three days / four nights in Busan, South Korea’s second largest city. This city of 3 million people is wedged between the Sea of Japan and nearby mountains, so its very dense and vertical. We went there to visit Marian’s cousin and her daughter, as well as…

Gyeongju, Korea

Posted on December 8, 2018December 24, 2018 by Jason Andrews

After several rainy days in Busan we hired a van for a day-long excursion north to visit Gyeongju, home of the Silla Empire.  In historic times Korea had three kingdoms: Gorguryeo, Baekje and Silla.  Around 600 AD Silla united / conquered the other two to unite the country that is now Korea.  They would go…

Korea DMZ

Posted on December 7, 2018December 7, 2018 by Jason Andrews

The Korea DMZ (demilitarized zone) splits the country in half and is located a few tens of kilometers north of Seoul.  For my generation the Korean War is somewhat lost to history, obscured between World War II and more modern conflicts such as the Vietnam and Gulf Wars.  Our only context is faint childhood memories…

Around Seoul

Posted on December 6, 2018December 7, 2018 by Jason Andrews

There’s so much to see on the streets of Seoul, but it’s also nice to see Seoul from different perspectives.  Here’s three videos that do that. Gangnam AirBnB:  We stayed in the modern Gangnam district, made famous by the K-Pop song Gangnam Style, which was a parody on the faux rich of the district.  Our…
