[Secret] Book review: Life on the Edge of the DMZ

Lee See-woo: Life on the Edge of the DMZ Global Oriental, 2008 I’ve been dipping in and out of this fascinating though often overly complex book by peace activist Lee Si-Woo. It’s sometimes hard to tell whether the English translation – for the most part unfussy – is sometimes too literal, or whether original is simply very unusual. When it gets too abstruse, however, the beautiful p..

[Secret] Gyeokpo in Byeonsanbando

It was easy enough to board the bus from Naeso-sa on the southern side of Byeonsanbando on the west coast of Korea and only slightly more challenging to find a yeogwan that suited my taste ( sea view, of course!) and budget ( under 30,000 won). photo credit: Kim Byung-joonThe weather was..
