Introduction

This page is a travelogue/diary of my trip to Korea in 2000. I had an absolutely wonderful time, and I hope you will enjoy reading some of my entries. I had the opportunity to see, learn and experience many things, as well as meet some of the kindest and most generous people I have ever known. Thanks go out to all my friends and relatives for showing me around and bearing with me. Special thanks go to my friend Ji Young for hosting me at Cheju Island. I would like to dedicate this webpage to all my friends in Korea--this web page would not have been possible without their support. Everyone, thank you once again and, best wishes,
