It's been a fairly quiet time here in Yecheon this winter, post-Taiwan. I've stuck pretty close to home and had a nice season so far, which has ranged from bitter colds, snow and ice to surprisingly spring-like warms with meltwater running in the streets.
One recent highlight was speaking at the 2013 Secondary English Teachers Association Workshop in the city of Gyeongju back in early January (my presentation, Global Language, Global Access: Utilising Technology to Facilitate English Acquisition, was a fancily labeled talk putting forth some ideas for incorporating smart phones, the internet and online resources into the EFL classroom). I also had a visit last month from a great friend of mine, Chris, who I studied with in the Dalhousie Acting program, and who I've managed to reunite with four times in three countries since we graduated in 2008--something neither of could have ever foreseen during our hectic university years in Halifax.
Anyway, I've been out and about with the camera as well, so I'm putting up some select shots from the last few months, mostly from around Yecheon county, starting with woodpeckers in the mountains.
