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 …

180 days
Welcome to Day 180 of living in Korea. I can now tell you that I have officially completed my first semester of teaching here in South Korea! I wrapped up my final week of term by teaching a 3 day summer camp at my elementary school (which was rather fun I have to admit). The …
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 …

Just popping off to Korea for a year

I wasn’t sure that I was going to update this site again, but then a good friend (well, she’s fairly decent anyway) encouraged me to think about it (thanks Di) and so now you’ll have to suffer through more random ramblings regarding my Korean …
Mudeungsan National Park – yay! Gwangju – nay!
