I tried snowboarding for the first time in my life a few years back, and loved it, although I had never been in US, back home (just skiing--and then very seldomly). I was a skater in high school though, so it felt natural a bit.
What have you picked up (and I don't mean women/men/ducks)? 
(I used to work at a high school and loved the loads of time I had to do all this stuff and the months off during the winters and summers and every break in between). |

| Brewing beer. Serves a couple purposes....Gives me something to do (I love to cook, so spending a few hours brewing is nice and relaxing). Then afterwards I have my own beer to drink, so I don't have to poison myself with Korean beer. |

haedong gumdo.
i studied regular kendo in uni and was bored to tears with it, but any sport that allows you to swing a 3-foot blade around cutting swathes of destruction is pretty awesome in my book |

Texting, in the 1 month I've been here I have had over 500 text messages.
In America, I probably only had 100. |

This isn't Will, is it?
If not, the site you should sign up on is www.uer.ca . We have more information about locations to visit there, more information from people around the world, and more plans about trips. The Facebook group doesn't really do anything. There are a lot of people on there but only me and one other guy do any actual exploring. We're hitting up an abandoned amusement park in Suwon tomorrow. |

Wouldn't it be cool if they opened up one of the subway stations under construction for special visiting days. I'dlove to see how subway stations and tunnels are constructed. I bet a lot of people would enjoy it and it would make a nice change from palaces and markets. |

It used to be HapKiDo in my former existence here, but now i enjoy rolling drunken businessmen who are asleep on the street/sidewalk.
I just started last Spring and I've already collected 38 wallets!
The largest consideration is (of course) CCTV. |
