I'm back with another cafe post! This time from Church and Dancehall cafe. Address: 대전 중구 대흥로139번길 38 1층 I've wanted to visit this cafe for a while now so today right after I finished English camp I met my friend at the bus stop in front of my school and we made the rather…

I'm back with another café post. I may have opened a can of worms starting to do these kind of posts, what with the sheer number of cafés I visit. But then again, what with the sheer number of cafés I visit it's a shame if I don't try to document some of them. Plus English information on…
This is going to be a different sort of post. Something came over me this morning suddenly I really wanted take some pictures. I realized I hadn't shot anything since my sister and I were in Kyoto. Which is a crying shame. So this morning, after a bit of a late start, I met a friend…

So proper fall, where the leaves change and the weather starts to take a nosedive towards freezing, was completely new for me. It admittedly didn't…
9 months in Korea. That's dangerously close to both double digits and also unbelievably close to a year that I've been here. The leaves have changed and in the past few days the weather has taken a turn for the "absolutely freezing" so I've been trying to navigate that as best I can. This…
With EPIK placements for the Spring 2018 intake coming up I know that many of your are in the horrible in-between waiting period. With nothing much to do other than think about packing and study Korean, I know that I spent a lot of time just desperately trying to envision what my life was going…
This month was good one. It has been a month of seeing my sister, taking a break away from school, and then taking an even longer break at school. First there was Chuseok. We got about 10 days off and I went to Hong Kong to see my sister. It was incredible. Feel free to…
Korea Month 7 Here we are, 7 months and a few days after I first arrived in Korea. This semester is proving to be significantly less stressful than last semester. Due mostly to the fact that I planned all of my lessons in advance over the summer and a shift in my expectations of…
