Suwon is a city outside of Seoul completely immersed in history and culture. A friend and I went for a day trip. While there are plenty of things to do in Suwon for this trip we didn't manage to do much, owing to my utter exhaustion about half way through the day. Hwaseong Haenggung Palace [...]
Last year I went to a musical with my coteachers about this beloved musician called Kim Kwang-seok, the musical was called 바람이 불어오는 곳 Acoustic Musical. In Daegu there is an alley, a long pathway covered in art and sculptures most of which are in memory or dedicated to the late Kim Kwang-seok who was [...]
Another nice little cafe near where my friend lives is Malka coffee. My friend was telling me all about their coffee bean shaped coffee cakes and I just wanted to have one. Which worked out perfectly for breakfast on my last full day in Daegu. I ordered waffles, coffee cake to share with my friend, [...]
After awhile of not being sure what to eat we settled on a popular foreigner spot in Daegu that my friend really likes. In Korea, beer (맥주) is somewhat limited to Cass and Hite. There's not a ton of options when it comes to beer or arguably alchohol in general unless you find some place [...]
Update: as of December 2019 this cafe in Sanbon is closed. There is apparently another location in Anyang but I have not been to verify if it took is still open or closed. Muggles Cafe is in Gunpo, a satellite city of Seoul and off the Sanbon station out of exit 3. It's a bit [...]
Bulldogs is a British style pub in Itaewon that Nathalie and I went to for lunch. I mostly went to try their Harry Potter inspired Butterbeer. They had five flavors, original (Harry Potter), ginger (Ron Weasley), cherry (Hermione Granger), grapefruit (Luna Lovegood), and a dark/Guinness (Hagrid). After going in and finding ourselves the only ones in [...]
It's been a year since I've moved to Korea. This blows my mind. This time last year I was flying over 6,000 miles away from home. I didn't sleep at all on the flight and had that exhausted nauseous feeling that was only added to as I climbed into the backseat of a cab that [...]
After walking around the Lights of Happiness and taking too many photos, Emily, her friends and I decided to check out a nearish Night Market. So we hailed a tuk tuk, haggled the price and made our way there. It was a tight ride for four people, one sitting on the floor of the tuk tuk, [...]
2015 has come and gone in the blink of an eye. Cliche, yes, but when the year is over it tends to seem as if it went by fast, especially if you moved over 6,526 miles away from home. Last January I was busy doing interviews and paperwork and just a tense ball of [...]
Cooking in South Korea can be difficult, where I live my food tends to go bad quickly and the options are limited. So if I want to get anything special I have to go somewhere else. Which is really bad for cold things. Since the holiday season is around I really wanted to buy candy [...]
