My interview on KBS World Radio Program, "Seoul Report"

I'm just so in love with blogging! Apart of my own blog (When the Muse Strikes!), I have also blogged exclusively for the PC Magazine (Gearlog), Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC), and TechBuzz. Of late, due to extensive traveling (yeah, my MBA is taking me places!) and other work-related commitments, I haven't been able to update my blog much as I'd have wanted to.

Last October I was in for a pleasant surprise when a representative from the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) and Voluntary Agency Network of Korea (VANK) informed me that I was chosen as one of Korea's Top 100 Cultural Bloggers.

My initial reaction was "How can this possibly be? I have only written two blog posts on Korea, and none of them really talked about culture per se. Could this be a hoax?" Turns out it was not! I was invited to join an all-expense-paid Bloggers' Travel Camp for three days, and all I had to do was to pack the panniers and oblige them.

Apart from traveling to Jeongseon and Yeongwol in Gangwon-do province with a group of around 30 blogging enthusiasts from all over the world, I also visited Yeongju and Andong in Gyeongsangbuk-do province, where I learned about Confucian traditions and values. The trip provided me an even greater understanding of Korea's history and culture.

Also, after the culmination of what I'd term as a successful trip, Matt Kelley, host of the KBS World Radio Program, "Seoul Report", invited me and another travel blogger from Indonesia on the weekly, English-language interview program that airs globally on the World Radio Network (WRN).

I recorded this interview on November 3, 2009 at the KBS studios in Yeouido. You can view the streaming video uploaded to the KBS World website.

I urge all of you to maintain a blog, and write as often as you'd like to. Who knows you might also be lucky like me!
