Today is Erin’s birthday, and in a couple hours, a bunch of us will be dining at Wood and Brick near Insa-dong. We’ll be celebrating her birthday and supporting Little Travellers HIV/AIDS fundraiser: “A Common Cause” in Itaewon. I went to their website to learn more about the organization and found out that the EV [...]

I’ve been wanting to check out the Boseong tea fields, and this past weekend, I did just that. Ras and I met Jenay in Daejeon, then the three of us drove down about four hours to Boseong in Jeollanam-do. Jenay had already reserved a pension, but when we arrived, it was already too late to [...]

Nonetheless, I’m a fan of thrift stores and bargain hunting, so this is right up my alley. Unfortunately, I’ll be admiring the [...]

Last week was “Festival Week” on campus.  It wasn’t as loud and rambunctious as on other campuses in Korea because my university has a no alcohol and smoking policy.  There weren’t a lot of people on campus for the afternoon festivities, and I felt a little bad for the students.  I tried to spend some [...]

This past Saturday was spent outside near the Han River, watching the FIVB Women’s Pro Beach Volleyball Tour. The event was not publicized at all and we only heard about it through Kevin on Facebook. I initially didn’t want to go because 1) it was far (near Jamsil) and 2) isn’t it just an excuse [...]
