Land of the Morning Calm

Woraksan
I between 1988 and 2001, I lived in Korea for 8 of those 13 years. During that time I came to know, respect and love the Korean people. I empathize with them over their divided country and with their proud heritage. I learned the language and attended university there and am an avid buff of recent Korean history.

South Korea Tourist Attractions

Some of the popular tourist destinations in South Korea are as follows:
Andong:
This is a town famous for its aristocrats and old culture. Tourists visit this town to see the Andong Folk Village and Folk Museum, which exhibits relics of ancient Korean culture. Restaurants in this town serve traditional Korean food, so you can try eating what the locals do. Just north of Andong is Dosan Seowon, which is a famous Confucian institute. West of the town is the Hahoe Maeul Folk Village, which is worth a visit. If you are in Andong during autumn, make sure you take the time out to see the Mask Dance Festival. It should not be missed under any circumstances.

Uncommon LA Tour

Macarthur Park

LA Commons is trekking uncommon neighborhoods in the city and this week you can check out Macarthur Park and Koreatown.  The Francis Avenue Garden will be featured on the tour along with classical guitarist Felix Tello Sunday, August 15.  I’m more familiar with K-town from many food and noriban (Korean Karaoke) excursions but have always been a little too intimidated to explore  Macarthur Park on my own.  I might have to take this three hour tour.

Sydney Opera House

The Sydney Opera House is one of the most recognizable buildings in the world. In addition to representing Sydney, the opera house has also become a symbol for the country of Australia throughout the world. Resting majestically on Bennelong Point as it reaches into Sydney Harbour, the Sydney Opera House is truly an unforgettable sight. The original plan to build the opera house was put forth in 1950, and designed by John Utzon. Interestingly enough, his vision was more advanced than architectural and engineering abilities of the decade, and it wasn't until 1973 that his ideas were finally put into place. The doors were opened by Queen Elizabeth II on October 20 of that year, with its opening show, War and Peace.

The 7 sins of Las Vegas

With all its twinkling lights and celebrated excesses, Las Vegas is certainly one of those cities that you have to see once in your life. To say it’s brash, opulent and fun is an understatement.
There’s nowhere else like it, really.
Where else in the world can you enjoy a ride in a Venetian gondola, pass by the Eiffel Tower, get a taste of the New York skyline, come nose to nose with the Egyptian Sphinx, get a feel of the Medieval era, wander through ancient Roman temples, and walk through a lush tropical forest, all in one day?
Made famous for its gambling and other guilty pleasures, Las Vegas is often referred to as Sin City.

So let’s reveal the 7 deadly sins of this bustling city…
1. Greed: casinos and gambling
2. Gluttony: unlimited food and alcohol
3. Laziness: spa, sunbathing and pool
4. Pride: megalomaniac hotels and flamboyant entertainment shows
5. Wrath: endless walk and painful blisters
6. Lust: showgirls, strip bars and drive-thru wedding chapels
7. Envy: shopping, shopping, shopping

Down by Paris’s Riverside

THE beauty of the Seine and its tributary, the Marne, has been drawing Parisians and tourists alike since the days of the Impressionists. But it’s not just glittering waters that draw visitors, it’s entertainment. It is this aspect that President Nicolas Sarkozy wants to magnify with “Le Grand Paris,” a master plan that includes changes to the legal status of the banks of the Seine, the Marne and the Canal de l’Ourcq that would allow for further development.
