A Day in the Life of an English Middle School Teacher in South Korea Compared to recent posts from my trip to Tokyo, this is probably going to be incredibly boring. But this is reality, much more so than jetting off to Japan for the weekend. And while it's certainly not as exciting…

Streets of Japan: Tokyo
I love taking pictures of streets, always have. I even have an older blog post where I put together a bunch of pictures of streets from some of my various travels. (You can read that here.) But it's no secret that Japan is known for little magical alleys and streets. So here are just some…
Korea Month Three: Reality Check and Coming “Home” to Korea
I think I said something a while ago about definitely not posting an update every month, but yet it's looking like that's going to happen. But I'm still not making any promises. Here we are, exactly three months to the day after I landed in Korea. Three months really does NOT sounds like a lot…

Tokyo Day 4: Akihabara and a Buddhist Bar
Day 4 was our last day in Tokyo. We had the full day to explore and see the city and then had to be at the airport by about 11:00pm for our 1:00am flight back to Korea. We kicked the day off with some delicious donuts and coffee. Just thinking about that donut…

Tokyo Day 3: Meiji Shrine, Shimokitazawa, and Golden Gai
The morning of Tokyo day 3 my friends and I decided to try to wake up at a decent hour and head out towards Meiji Shrine in an attempt to beat the crazy crowds that we had seen there the day before. I say "try" because by the time we left, stopped for coffee and…

I have loved Japan from afar for a long time. Thanks in part to my sister who started randomly studying Japanese for fun when she was about 10 years old, and partly due to the fact that one of the best summer's of my life was my first semester teaching English at the ELI where, by…

Seoul for the Day: D Museum “Youth” and Itaewon
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…

ESL Psychaitrist Game: “You Should…”
Its name is Psychiatrist game. I genuinely don’t remember if I thought of this activity on my own, or if I read about it online somewhere. Either way I’m sure that it already exists and I’m even more certain that once enough time has passed I will be using it again with a different name…
