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 …
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 …
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. …
Welcome to Wonju
It’s been exactly 16 days since I landed in South Korea and today I am welcoming you from my new home from home; the city of Wonju, located in the south west corner of Gangwon-do province. That’s your cue to grab a map. I’m not going to lie; the past 16 days have been filled …
Who’s idea was this?
Have you ever lived and worked in another country? I have. It’s hard. I’m from UK, have lived here practically my whole life, and in some ways feel about as British as you can get. I like tea and biscuits. I hate small talk unless it’s about the weather, the Royal Family, or commiserating with …
Just popping off to Korea for a year
Yes. You read that correctly. South Korea. For a whole 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 …
