So I thought I’d do a little pregnancy update! I’m a week away from entering the third trimester and can hardly believe it. In some ways, it’s gone by quickly, and in others, it feels like it’s been dragging on. I’ve never been pregnant anywhere else, but I can definitely explain what it’s like being […]

The Road to Permanent Residency: KIIP Level 5 Class and Test
So I finally did it, guys! I got back into the KIIP (Korean Immigration and Integration Program) classes after about a year-long break. Last year, I took two Korean language classes through the KIIP program – levels 3 and 4. I did learn a lot but I needed a break after that, and then I […]
I’m Pregnant!
I’m finally able to announce it to the world – I’m pregnant and due in November 2019! Junkyu and I are so excited and it sometimes still doesn’t feel real. We have been married for three years now and I’ve had baby fever for a while. I knew I didn’t want us to have kids […]
Walking in Martin Luther’s Footsteps in Wittenberg and Erfurt
On my last morning in Berlin, I decided to see the inside of the Reichstag Building. It’s free to anyone but you have to make an appointment early. I went in person and stood in line to make mine and thankfully they had spots open on the morning I planned on going. I had to […]
Palaces in Potsdam
I decided to take a day trip around Potsdam, since it’s only about an hour train ride from Berlin and I did a lot of research on the city and how it’s basically an entire city of pretty buildings. I wanted to do another bike tour with Fat Tire Tours, like I did in Berlin, […]
Burning Up in Berlin
I arrived in Berlin Hauptbahnhof in the afternoon on a hot August day, backpack bulging with a gleam in my eye. I had to navigate the maze of train platforms and escalators, but at least I could read enough German to get by! My wi-fi was spotty but I managed to use Google maps to […]
One Day in Cologne, Germany
When I left Amsterdam, it was bittersweet. I fell in love with the place but was also ready for a new adventure, and the next country on my Europe tour was the most significant to me because of my heritage. I got on another train and headed for Cologne, Germany. I initially planned to travel […]
2018 Recap and 2019 Goals
It’s a week into the new year, and I’m so glad for a fresh start! Looking back, 2018 was a decent year for me, and I got to do a lot of amazing things, but I’m also happy to have a clean slate. In 2018, I worked at a company tutoring some of their staff […]
Artsy Amsterdam
On the first day of August, I took a morning train to Amsterdam. I was excited for the energy and the vibrancy Amsterdam has to offer, and it just so happened that I was there during the weekend of Amsterdam Pride. I knew the city would be alive with tourists and locals alike, partying and […]
Blunders in Belgium
In the morning, I took an Uber to St. Pancras International train station to catch my Eurostar to Brussels. I figured I’d just hop on the train and settle in for the 2 hour ride, and I arrived at the station early and hungry, so I went to a cafe inside the station for some […]
