Many of my Saint Louis friends have asked me to keep them posted on my experiences as a Fulbright Fellow teaching at Yonsei University in Seoul. This blog is a response to those requests. I returned to Saint Louis on July 5, 2009; however, I'll continue to add photos to the Blog until I run out of photos or time.

This is how I spend many of my evenings . . . watching CNN!

My three favorite Radama employees.

Danny with Hyunjoo Song, a psychology colleague attending the annual meeting of the Korean Society of Clinical Psychology. Danny is holding a Korean translation of Current Psychotherapies.

The subways are wonderful . . . but sometimes crowded during rush hours.

It is a beautiful time of year at Yonsei.

There are days I absolutely LOVE being a college professor.

Drinking with one of my graduate students.

Next to the Chosun Hotel.

Not a bad schedule

A campus map showing the way to my office from the front gate.

Danny with a Myongji student.

Subway seats are reserved for disabled people, pregnant women and the elderly. Young people, much to my dismay, routinely offer me their seats!

Note the warning regarding children and scissors!

My wonderful son.

A scene from the campus.

This is the building across from the Psychology Laboratory (where I have my office).

This is the path leading away from the Psychology building at Yonsei.

It is a beautiful time of year to be in Seoul. This photo was taken at Myongji University.

Danny at Myongji University

Dr. Seung-hwa Beack translated Movies and Mental Illness into Korean.

This is part of a poster announcing the talk I gave earlier this week (10/22) at Myongji University.

Cass is a pretty good beer, and I have become inordinately fond of it.

Somehow I'm suspicious!

Street musicians.

Danny in front of one of the many fountains in Seoul.

If you can't guess, this is a seafood restaurant.

Statue of Senator Fulbright, who believed the international exchange of scholars could facilitate world peace.

Seoul parks have LOTS of rules.

The police really are very friendly and helpful.

Three very serious guards.


Changing of the Guard at Deoksugung Palace. The Dunkin Donuts detracts somewhat from the majesty of the event.



An example of contemporary Korean architecture. This is the post office building a few blocks from the Ramada where I live.

NYT Travel Story on Life in Seoul

There is a dated but still interesting New York Times review of life in Seoul here.
