Daejeon Cafe: Moon Banggu Coffee // 달방구 커피

Daejeon Cafe: Moon Banggu Coffee // 달방구 커피   So I actually visited this cafe a long time ago, before I went back to America, but realized that I never actually made a post about it! (Possibly because I'm not crazy about the pictures I got that day. But whatever.) Moon Banngu Coffee in Galmadong…

Day in the Life 3: First Week of School

Since I've been slow on posts lately I thought I'd do another day in the life! This particular day was March 8th. I think it's possible that I'm still not over my jet lag since coming back from America because I found myself wide awake before my alarm had gone off at 6:00. No complaints…

Where to Eat and Drink in Daejeon, Korea

When I officially found out that I was going to be moving to Daejeon, Korea the first thing I did was try to search about fun places to hang out, cool coffee shops, and good restaurants.

One Year in Korea

I have been in Korea for a year. Today is the last day of school and I'm writing this from my desk as the office is descending into utter chaos while the grade three students storm in and out with questions for their home room teachers about if they're having a snack party later, what…

Daejeon Cafe: Botanical Garden Cafe // 고소한식물원

고소한식물원   "Botanical Garden Cafe" is just my guess at the English name but I think it's probably close to that. This cafe is located on the other side of Daejeon, close to Hannam University. I stumbled across this place on instagram but had I not, I don't think there's anyway I would have ever…

Things My Students Have Said to Me: Part 2

One of the major perks of teaching middle school are the multitude of ridiculous things that I get to hear on a daily basis. Whether it's something clever and witty from a high level student, something bold from a kid who's inflated ego has managed to disregard the fact that they can't put together a…
