Directions: New Millennium Hall for Mulmangcho fundraiser


Directions to New Millennium Hall for fundraiser at Yonsei University 6:30 pm 11/20 for the Mulmangcho school for refugee children located in Yeoju. 10,000 won donations, find out more info here https://www.facebook.com/#!/events/403227543084175/.

Starting from the Sinchon subway near Yonsei University. I would suggest taking Exit 3. Walk straight towards Yonsei University.
 
 
You'll pass a lot of stores and people along the way, then arrive at the front gate.
 
 
Walk in, on your right you'll see a map of the campus.
 
 
Look closely at the map, you'll see the route that you can take to arrive easily. The route I took kept me walking on the right side until I arrived at the building. That meant passing buildings 83, 82,78,77,40,41,58,59, to arrive at 61.
 
 
Here's the map's name in English. You want to arrive at building 61.
 
 
In Korean
 
From the map, you need to walk straight into the campus.
 
 
Here's the first challenge. A fork in the road. At this fork in the road, walk to the right.
 
 
You'll walk up the hill, see signs like this letting you know you are going in the right direction.
 
 
Walking up the hill you'll arrive at another fork in the road. Continue walking on your right.
 
 
You'll know you are close because you'll pass the President's Residence.
 
 
You'll come to another fork in the road, with a security box in the middle. This time, walk to the left.
 
 
There is, by the way, a bus timetable. If you can understand it, then you can try to use that.
 
 
That's what New Millennium Hall looks like on one side.
 
 
If you miss the turn, here's how it looks from the other side.
 
 
First floor, walk in, you'll see this small sign.
 

Then you can arrive at room 112. I didn't take a photo inside because there was a class going on at the time.
 

FYI, here is the sign in very clear Korean that you can show to people in case you somehow get lost.

How not to get your ass beat by the police

The black president of the United States stupidly commented on the arrest of a black Harvard professor in his own home by a white police officer. Some random thoughts and memories: * I'm sure most people are still trying to figure out who Prof. Gates is. As G.K. Chesterton once wrote: "Journalism consists largely in saying 'Lord Jones is dead' to people who never knew Lord Jones was alive." * Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said Gates' arrest was "every black man's nightmare." Perhaps. But having a criminal in my house is even more of a nightmare. Also, having the president of the United States talk off the cuff about me about something he doesn't know is pretty bad. And getting shot by a cop after I escalated a situation would also be worse than getting arrested. Anyway, I have had my own dealings with the police over the years: * Back when I was a college student many many moons ago, one of my brothers and I got stopped by police in Bro...

Teach North Korean Refugees--directions to Mulmangcho Human Rights Institute

DIRECTIONS to Mulmangcho Institute=Easy, easy, easy. Almost like they chose the location for the people who get lost within a block from home... * Bangbae station on line 2, exit 1. Walk to the top of the stairs.  * Look to your left. There will be a Woori Bank teller machine. * Standing, looking directly at the teller machine location, walk inside the building to the right of it, under the navy blue sign with the telephone number "587-4145-6..." Walk up to the 3rd floor, room 305. That's it. After you leave the subway exit, it will take you about 5 seconds to get to the building. I don't have a Naver map for it, but if you are driving, use the Bangbae subway as a landmark. Bangbae station (line 2) exit 1 Woori Bank Bd (우리은행건물) #305호 I know people won't believe me, they have been lied to so many times by people in Korea who said a location was "easy to find." I have learned that "easy to find" in Korea means: “Sure, just go down ...

2015-10-09 TNKR tutor flies from Jeju to Seoul

Today is a holiday in Korea, but that didn't mean that studying in Teach North Korean Refugees (TNKR) had a day off.  TNKR co-directors Eunkoo Lee and Casey Lartigue joined a class by the tutor in TNKR who has won the "Came the Longest Distance" award. Afsha  flew from Jeju Island to Seoul to tutor one of the learners in TNKR. The only way anyone will be able to top her will be if the person flies from a different country! Her student today has been in our program for several months, all of his tutors talk about what a great student he is! Focused, friendly, eager to learn.

Weekend roundup

Kim Heung - sook asks: " Who Needs New Bills ?" When I first saw the headline, I thought: I AGREE!!! In fact, I don't want or need ANY bills, whether old or new! I have a dream job now...After a couple of days at work, one of the managers here told me to give him all of my bills, the company would take care of my expenses. So I say...Who needs new bills!!! Who needs old bills!!! Her essay is about the new 50,000 won bill. That's about 40 bucks. The next largest bill? 10,000 won. That's about 8 bucks. * * * Get a job! In an LA Times piece trying to guilt California taxpayers and the governor to spend more on higher education in the state , Vincent J. Del Casino Jr. concludes by asking how he should explain spending cuts to his students: "Governor, any good one-liners I might use?" I've written some speeches for some prominent people over the years, I'll give this one to the governor for free, "Get a job!" * * * The next borrowed word? ...

Walter E. Williams on Rush Limbaugh

Professor Walter E. Williams will be hosting the Rush Limbaugh Show 8/24/10 from noon-3 p.m. EST. Thomas Sowell will be his featured guest the second hour. In case you can't hear the show or can't wait, you can listen to me interview him back in 2007 (hit the free user button, wait for countdown, then download). We discussed reparations for slavery during one show and the minimum wage on another. By the way, I was really thankful that he agreed to be on my show twice during the three months I was on the air. I interviewed him another time when I was a guest host and he interviewed me on the Rush Limbaugh about a paper I wrote about education in Washington, D.C. When I contacted him and told him that I was going to have my own show and that I would be delighted if he would come on from time to time, he hesitated at first. I waited. He then said it would be okay. I know he won't do anything if it is inconvenient for himself, so I asked if there was a conflict. He said he had...
