Are we still counting days? If so, I’m currently at 397 here in Korea. Yes, that’s right, I did renew my contract. I have remained here in Wonju, and have been assigned the same schools to teach as last year. I am still in my apartment, which has now become cosier with a few more …

It’s a bit nippy out…
Welcome to winter! Last week saw the first snowfall here in Korea for this season *cue EXO*, and it was apparently the heaviest snowfall for this time in 117 years. Well, I just made it through the hottest summer ever, so roll on the coldest winter, I guess! Wow. December. 292 days here in Korea …
I can die happy now.
Hey, look at that. I’m basically right on time for another monthly update! Not that that’s how I’ve planned things, it just seems to be turning out that way, but hey, it works. First and foremost, I have to tell you all this…. Autumn has officially arrived!!!! And in true Korean weather style, as I …
Hiking, concerts, and kimchi
I really don’t want to be this person but…it’s the middle of September and it’s still topping 30oC and 80% humidity. As a Brit, that’s just really not on.I’m not kidding. It’s time for the hot weather to take a bow and bugger off until next year. Personally, I can’t wait until I have to …

Bloom in Seoul
Look, I’m just going to level with you, you’re probably going to want to skip this post. That is unless you’re just generally interested in what I have to say, no matter the subject, because today is all about Doh Kyungsoo’s concert. I will try to keep it brief, but sometimes, a girl has just …
The arrival of summer
Summer has come to Korea! To me this seems a little unbelievable. I arrived here in February, and I’m pretty sure time hasn’t passed that quickly, but as the temperature hit 29oC yesterday I think I have to admit that the seasons have indeed changed. Right, let’s have an update. We’ll try to be a …
Still here!
Hey, look at that! Another update and we’re still in the month of April! I’m keeping with the short and sweet updates to help me keep on top of things and so as not to bore you to death through repetition of my normal, everyday life. Here we go then… I’m still here in Korea. …
Living in Korea (officially)
Last week I moved into my proper home. You might recall I had been living in my landlady’s house for the past month, waiting for mine to be ready (actually waiting for it to be vacated by the previous tenant). I was nervous but excited to have my own space. Nervous, because I had mistakenly …
School life
Let’s lay it out clearly here, teaching in schools where I don’t speak the primary language in an interesting experience. Here’s a little bit of a role-play thought for you… You’ve started at a new school. Congratulations! As with any new job, one of your first tasks is to discover all the inner workings of …
