It starting to see like every time I go to Seoul anticipating a relaxing weekend just hanging out friends, I end up packing roughly 1 million things into one day and practically walking across the entire city. Yesterday was no exception. And just to clarify, I'm definitely not complaining. I'm really grateful to my friends who…

It's currently Sunday night a bit later than I should be awake given that I need to be up bright and early tomorrow morning. Mondays are not my easiest days. I have two of my most difficult classes on top of the fact that no one wants to do much thinking at all on Monday's,…
Here's a video of my weekend in Seoul! In the video are clips from the cherry blossom festival I went to, Bongeunsa Temple, a dog cafe in Ilsan and a few other little random bits. Please enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVPXVMXzgWU&t=13s
I visited 봉은사 last time I was in Korea. (If you want to read about that trip you can click here.) But being here in the spring time was completely different. Right now there are lanterns up for, I believe, Buddha's birthday. And the combination of the cherry blossoms and the lanterns and the beautiful old…
영등포 여의도 봄꽃축제 Showing up somewhere on basically a whim can go pretty much one of two ways. It can either end up being amazing, or it’s a total bust. Luckily for me my weekend turned out to be the former. I decided Friday afternoon to go to Seoul for the weekend…

It finally happened. Some how or another I have managed to go almost a month now living in this country and I haven't gotten properly lost. This is thanks of course to Korea's fabulous transportation infrastructure, and the fact that I can read Korean. But last night it finally happened. I walked out of my…
(Warning, this is more just a stream of consciousness that found its way out of my brain rather than a cohesive thought.) In a very bizarre turn of events my culture shock in Korea hasn't been from the food or the language. Most of what has happened, has happened somewhat according to my expectations. I…
전주한옥마을 Today was the "Field Trip" day of orientation. (Yes it was actually called a field trip. We are all adults with at least a bachelor's degree, and we now have a curfew. Everyone feels like they're at summer camp. And are kind of ready to leave.) That's a bit harsh I suppose. We have all…
This was my last full day in Seoul before heading off to Daejeon for EPIK orientation. I woke up to a text from one of my Korean friends that her mom had offered to take me to the airport the next morning and that I could stay with them for the night as well. My biggest…
