Yikes, it’s September already. *checks calendar* And that makes it 566 days for me. That count is potentially going to get a little higher as it’s already closing in on the season where I will once again be asked by my school about my plans to remain here in Korea. And right now, it’s verging …

2025 is here
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 …

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 …
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 …
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 …
It’s time to meet EXO
EXO’s fan meeting occurred right at the end of my trip; it took place on a Sunday, and the following Tuesday evening I flew home. The two weeks in the lead up to the event saw a flurry of activity in my chat group, both for those of us who got tickets and those who …
