HGC East Asia Tour: Summing Up Korea

Unfortunately, I’ve gotten  bit behind on the daily blog posts, so instead of being perpetually three days behind and trying to remember what happened, I’m going to do one by summation of the rest of my time in Korea, and will then resume daily updates from Japan. First though, I’ll finish up the draft of…

HGC East Asia Tour: Day 10

We left early after breakfast on January 5th for the city of Gunsan, a three hour drive south from Seoul. It’s a smaller, coastal town, right next to the US Air Force base. Our bus had a large, flatscreen TV, and during the first half of the drive, I watched K-Pop videos and a documentary…

HGC East Asia Tour: Day 5

It’s 2017! Whoo! That’s also why this post is late, so I shouldn’t get too excited. (Note: photos will be added at a later time) New Year’s Eve began with another day of rehearsal. We rearranged the chairs so that we were in the same formation we normally use back at Harvard, and that helped…
