The 2nd Annual Unofficial Polar Bear Swim for Charity

BUSAN, South Korea -- People may think it crazy to venture into the waters of Haeundae in January, but it is an old tradition in even colder parts of the world. In the Netherlands, Canada and the USA, where the most popular Polar Bear events are held annually, as many as 10,000 people turn out to take an icy swim in the middle of winter.

BUSAN, South Korea -- It was his big, scared brown eyes that I noticed first. Running between the angry cars and impatient people one balmy Busan night, the little guy couldn’t speak, at least not with words. But those eyes, they said, “I’ve lost my mommy and my daddy and I don’t know what to do.” I picked up the flea-infested Shih Tzu, and eight months later, Noh Suk Jah (Korean for “The Tramp”) is still repaying me daily with love and laughter.
