I know you are just waiting on the edge of your seats for a weekend update… but sadly you will be let down today.

It’s still looming, but thanks &hellip Continue reading »

The pros: I’m not so bored just sitting around all &hellip Continue reading »

#1. My bus driver is probably the funniest Korean I know. Besides his funniness, he is also genuinely awesome. Usually he is the driver for my 8am and 5pm busses going to/ from school. He has this cute little smirk, and he is the only bus driver that always makes eye contact with me and &hellip Continue reading »

I ran a 5k last weekend!!! The weather has finally started warming up and running outside is actually bearable so I decided to sign up for my first race of 2010. Our little group of friends in Dongducheon is part of a larger group of friends from all over Seoul called TEAM DIRT. Its purpose &hellip Continue reading »
