On My Way To Korea

Taken from Hello Franceska (안녕! 프란체스카)

About a week ago I went with some friends from the North South Education program to Wolmido Island and Imjingak. As you can see from the last pic, we were pretty tired by the end of it all. Here’s some pics:

I went to the infamous cat cafe over in Hongdae.  It’s definitely worth hitting up once with a friend if you like cats.

There aren’t very many sitcoms in Korea so I’m very excited when I find one.  I’m still watching Unstoppable High Kick (unbelievably funny and a must see) on my iPod (at episode 72 out if 166ish … yeah, it’ll take a while).  I decided to start watching another sitcom I found a while ago on the computer since I finished watching X-Files.  After digging through my collection I decided on watching Hello Franceska (안녕! 프란체스카).  After watching 8 episodes I can firmly say this is another most-see incredibly funny sitcom.  The best thing is that English subtitles are available.  It’s about a whacked-out family of vampires on their way to Japan who accidentally settle in Seoul, Korea.  As you can imagine, they and those around them find themselves in very uncomfortable situations.  I guess you could think of this as Korea’s The Munsters.

Anyways, head over here to watch the copy with English subtitles! (Here’s another source in case the first goes down)

Here’s a video I found recently that is yet another interesting example of the propaganda machine of the north.
