환영합니다!
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…
Yesterday I decided that it was high time I dusted off my poor camera who has been waiting patiently to be used since I moved to this city. I realized that I hadn't used it once since I'd been in Korea and so Saturday became, "get some good pictures of this city" day. Which turned into a…
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…
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…
Day four was a weird day. It involved me going for a walk just to get my self out of the house and looking for a cafe to study in for a while. I was successful at both of those things, and I very much enjoyed my coffee, bagel, and people watching outside the window.…
Day 2: On day two I didn't leave my friend's apartment. I wrote a little bit about that in my last post, which you can read here. I was jet lagged and unsure of the neighborhood I was in and that combination resulted in me hanging out with my friends cat Fufu all day. Also it was…
*Just for the record I absolutely do not intend to be writing about every single day here, but my first week hanging out in Seoul was really amazing so I figured it would be interesting for you guys! So here's a bunch of posts coming at you! Enjoy! Day 1: I woke up the first…
I'm counting yesterday as a loss. I arrived in Korea 3 days ago. The first day was spent easily in the company of a good friend whose place I'll be at saying at for a while. She showed me around Samcheongdong, and we went to a cafe where she likes to study. It was easy…
