SEOUL JUXTAPOSITION
Seoul, as we found out, is a world class city. A little bit New York a little bit Paris. Sometimes, you visit a capital and it doesn’t represent the country. But everything we read and everyone we talked to wanted us to realize Seoul was the place to be. It’s huge and grey. But also […]Read Post ›
MORE SEOUL
We had only spent about 8 hours in Korea before deciding to spend a month there. We had a long layover on our way home from South East Asia nine years ago.

BIG ISLAND
Our first stop was the Big Island of Hawaii. I’ve always been obsessed with the islands and I finally got Koko to drink the juice, now he’s hooked. We’ve been to the north shore of Oahu and spent some time on Kauai. We had never been to the Big Island and I think it’s safe […]Read Post ›
