2005

- Feb 26 — by high-speed ferry to Busan, South Korea

- May 28 — day-trip (by bus) to Kyoung-ju and back
...went with Minja and Sujin for the day at an amusement park; it was just so-so; I guess I've been spoiled by the really incredible rides at parks in the U.S.
- Jul 29 — by plane to Incheon
...couldn't get a flight to Thailand from Busan; had to spend one night in Incheon (near Seoul); not very exciting.
- Jul 30 — by plane to Bangkok, Thailand
- Aug 02 — by night-train to Udon Thani
...even though it was my eighth visit to Thailand, this was my first time to go to the northeast; the plan was to stay in Udon Thani for a week or so, then go to Phuket, and perhaps Phi Phi; but as it was the rainy season, and I was so far from the islands, I decided just to hang out a while longer in Udon Thani.
- Aug 17 — by plane to Bangkok
- Aug 20 — by plane (overnight) to Incheon, South Korea; by plane to Busan
...because of a mix-up with my flight (which originally was direct to Busan), I spent Saturday night in the Bangkok airport, and finally arrived home at 10:30 Sunday night - after being awake for more than 40 hours; and I had to teach at 9:00am Monday morning.
- Oct 22 — by train to Seoul
...to visit my friend, Tom, from Germany.
- Oct 23 — by train to Busan
- Nov 17 — by high-speed ferry to Fukuoka, Japan
