Korean culture fascinates me. All aspects of it, good and bad. Having lived a ‘Western’ lifestyle my whole life, the idea that half-way around the world people are living lives based on an entirely different history from my country and with such vastly differing customs from my own intrigues and enthrals me. And yes, I …

A Diverting Day
Aigoo. The days are really slipping by aren’t they? Today got a little off track I have to say. Not that I can remember the actual plan I had, but I definitely know I got side tracked, which is a very easy thing to happen here. My morning kicked off with a trip to the …
Time to Add a Little Drama…
Today I have dedicated to k-drama activities. No, this doesn’t mean spending a whole day watching drama (though I totally can, have in the past, and no doubt will in the future), but instead refers to being out and about in Seoul with a slight drama theme to my goings-on. The main aim of today …
Korean friends in the making
Today features what I believe will be a unique experience during my trip, I spent the day with a Korean person. Yes, you read that correctly. In fact, I spent time with two Korean people; a nice chap from my Kakao chat group and (later in the evening) his girlfriend. Before coming to Korea I …

For each person that has asked me ‘How …

Time for a brief lesson…
I don’t want to put anyone off today’s blog, but I will warn you now, I am going to be putting my teaching hat on (but hopefully not co-ordinating with my boring pants). I just thought we’d take a short hop, skip and jump over to the Asian continent and have a look around. Though …
34 days
Today I have exactly 34 days until I depart for Korea. *silently screams in terror and excitement* I know that I made a rather rash promise last time to write a few updates before I left, how naïve of me. Sorry. I suck. However, I’m just going to put it out there; the past month …
What’s this all about then?
*checks watch* Well, it seems like that time again. Time for another adventure. 🙂 Welcome back to those of you who already know me, it’s nice to see you again! And to those who don’t know me…welcome too! I’ll try not to seem too odd and scare you off, but really, that’s the best I can …
