Taean Tulip Festival 태안 튤립축제 Two Saturdays ago myself and a friend found ourselves at Daejeon's main bus terminal very early with tickets to a small town on the coast called Taean. It was a long weekend for us so we figured we had to get out of Daejeon for a least one day…
April was a pretty low-key month. At the end of March I found that I'd accidentally written something closer to a short novel than a blog post about everything that happened but this month I'm here with almost nothing. In fact I don't even remember much in particular that I did, a sure sign that…
