Hiking talk (yeah, you knew it was coming)
Having been refreshed from my day about town, the Seoul Trail is firmly back on my mind. I settle in for some serious hiking this week. As in, up at 5am and out on the trail by 7am type hiking. In case you're wondering, Seoul at sunrise looks a little like this… I fully embraced …
Hello again, Korea my friend
In case you were wondering, yes, I am aware that I did spend a whole post telling you about my experience of buying a ticket for an EXO event. Sorry. But you’re just going to have to roll with it. In between my obtaining said golden ticket and actually flying back to Korea, I spent …
