I visited the BTS pop up shop in Gangnam and got some Christmas shopping done.
The House of BTS
Author: wayfaringflaneur
From a family that travels so often it feels a part of the DNA that somehow ended up with an introverted scaredy cat who managed to get up the courage to move far across the world. Swapping rural country sides for large cities to mountainside villages and now currently back in a city. I love to travel with a good book in my bag, try delicious food and am always writing. While I'm still a bit of a scaredy cat and introverted I'm still always up for a new adventure, to explore new places, and to meet new people. Right before the pandemic hit I returned home and now am based in the USA again.
Book Review: “Sense and Sensibility” by Jane Austin
"Sense and Sensibility" is chock full of drama and assumptions and people believing they're better than others and fools. It was kinda fun and kinda frustrating.
Salad Stop! 샐러드스탑
I think I found my favorite salad shop. Sadly there's only one location and it's in Myeongdong. But any time I can get my salad as a wrap is delightful.
Book Review “Around the World in Eighty Days” by Jules Verne
I liked it better than the last Jules Verne novel I read. But that bar is low. It's so very low, practically stuck in the mud you could roll over it.
Jeong-dong Observatory 정동전망대
A nice and very chill observatory overlooking Deoksugung palace.
March Goal
My march goal for reading is one book, and I plan to be gentle with myself because it's a huge heavy book, so if I don't finish it, then I'll try not to be mad at myself.
Aori ramen 아오리의행방불명
I've always wanted to eat at a solo-style ramen restaurant, I just didn't realize this one was owned/ created by who it was owned/created by. I have some regret.
Book Review: “Where the Rainbow Touches the Ground” by John Henderson Miller
A book review of a book that I was so delightfully shocked by how fun and witty I found it.
Coco’s matcha 코코즈마차
I love matcha, and matcha isn't the easiest to find in Korea. But I found a really lovely matcha cafe in Seoul. So of course I spent the whole afternoon there.
Book Review: “After the Fall” by Harry Turtledove
A repetitive fantasy historical fiction that I hated. Needs more unicorns less nazis and racism.
