Jen and I will also be partaking in a fine feast of buadejigae (부대찌개), which is basically a big stew of hot pepper, leeks, onions, tofu, ramyeon, dukk (떡 or rice cake) and hot dogs. Yes, hot dogs. It might sound commonplace, ordinary or entirely derivative, but it is extraordinary if done right. We are greatly looking forward to it.
You can read more about it here. Also, I have mapped an approximation of where my favorite budaejigae restaurants are located. Please feel free to click into the map if you would like. Unfortunately, I can’t remember their names, but there are several outside the front gate of Yonsei University and my personal favorite is on the street behind the main drag in Gangnam.
My name is Michael Sean Gallagher. I am a Lecturer in Digital Education at the Centre for Research in Digital Education at the University of Edinburgh. I am Co-Founder and Director of Panoply Digital, a consultancy dedicated to ICT and mobile for development (M4D); we have worked with USAID, GSMA, UN Habitat, Cambridge University and more on education and development projects. I was a researcher on the Near Futures Teaching project, a project that explores how teaching at The University of Edinburgh unfold over the coming decades, as technology, social trends, patterns of mobility, new methods and new media continue to shift what it means to be at university. Previously, I was the Research Associate on the NERC, ESRC, and AHRC Global Challenges Research Fund sponsored GCRF Research for Emergency Aftershock Forecasting (REAR) project. I was an Assistant Professor at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (한국외국어대학교) in Seoul, Korea. I have also completed a doctorate at University College London (formerly the independent Institute of Education, University of London) on mobile learning in the humanities in Korea.
