demilitarized zone

When I type in “North and South Korea” into Google, the first link that pops up is an article by AP Seoul that claims that North and South reunification is imminent. If I type in “North South Korea,” articles of preparations for war flood my search engine. A war would be terrible but then again, [...]

recollection

Sometimes I wish that I had a computer with me all the time, especially when I’m alone and thinking, because that’s when I feel like I have the most to say. And maybe my inner monologues are starting to sound a bit more intelligent…Nah. I really love public transportation. As someone who can’t drive, I’ve [...]

I want to be in Korea in December SO bad, mainly because I’m sure the F/W collections are going to be freaking adorable! I found footage of them filming the ads for SPAO featuring Super Junior and SNSD. By the way, Siwon is in half of the shots because he fits the clothes so well. [...]

It’s going to take me awhile to recap Korea so I’m just going to revisit moments rather than days because recounting by days now seems meaningless.

day twentyfivesix

twentyfive Kelley and I went to Idae (the neighborhood around Yonsei and Ewha Women University) and just picked the first place we saw so that I could get my hair cut. A nice boy hairdresser-in-training washed my hair and it was weird because afterwards he gave me a neck massage. I cut off an inch but [...]

day twentytwothreefour

twentytwo School. Is my life. I’m learning a lot about Korea though. I’m glad that all of my classes deal with Korean culture. It’s kind of weird to be in an environment where I feel like an outsider (almost) but I think that’s only with my Korean Society and Culture class because I can’t relate [...]

leaf leaf tree

I am pretty sure that this is my favorite song right now even though Taeyang’s new music video is out. I am a sap. Also SS501 might be no more so I am more of a sap.
