A Trip To Suwon – A Birthday, A Tenor and Some VAR
A Trip to Suwon : A Birthday, A Tenor and Some VAR When faced with the task of getting the missus a birthday present that she'll remember for a year some men think of bling, pefumes or hopping on a plane. For me I plumped for a bus ride down to Suwon and taking her... Continue Reading →
A Trip to Jeju- Splashing in the sea at Jeju and diving at Tancheon
From the beaches of Jeju to the slopes of Tancheon this trip saw me take planes, trains, expensive taxis and one rather excitable bus driver all in the name of the beautiful game that is the K-League.
