I’m posting this really late, but I wanted to share our adventures in Jinju and Busan! Junkyu had to work in Jinju early one morning, so we drove down, got a hotel room, and stayed the night. Then we went sight-seeing after he got off work. We saw Jinju Fortress 진주성 before driving down to […]

Riding Rail Bikes in Wonju
My husband works all around Korea, and sometimes hospitals that are quite far away ask him to work on Saturdays, so we don’t get to have as many weekend dates as we’d like. However, one hospital was a close enough drive to Wonju, somewhere I’d yet to visit, so we decided to go after he […]
Handmade Modern Hanbok – 손으로 만든 생활 한복
Recently, I’ve been seeing a lot of people wearing modernized versions of hanbok, the traditional Korean style of dress. Some people wear quilted versions in the winter as house clothes, and other people wear hanbok tops with normal skirts to create an even more modern look. Since I’ve gotten into sewing, I wanted to […]
Grass is greener – 남의 떡
Recently, I’ve been meeting more Korean people, mostly parents, who tell me that they want to take their kids and move to America for a year or so, in order to teach their kids English. They’ll ask me about enrolling their kids in private elementary schools, and I’ll balk, never having heard of such a thing. […]
Being an Introvert in Korea
Every now and then, I come across articles about which countries are most suitable for introverts. Japan is often listed high on those lists, though I would disagree about its placement. Not many people cite Korea as a place where introverts should live, but the longer I stay here, the more I think that Korea […]
Korean Family Trip to Jeju Island – 제주도 가족여행
A few months ago, back when we were getting ready to go to Bali, I got a call from my sister-in-law. She asked for my full name told me it had to match my passport. Very confused, I asked her why. That’s how I found out we were going to Jeju. My husband hadn’t mentioned […]

(Read Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4) On the last day of our trip, we woke up and ordered breakfast through room service. We were already packed and ready to go, but we wanted to get one more massage before leaving the hotel. I booked the massage the day before, and they […]
Honeymoon in Bali – Part 4
(Read Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3) We woke up extra early on our third full day in Bali and geared up for the two-hour trip to East coast. It was a beautiful journey through the hills, up and down winding roads that were lined with locals who were dressed in ceremonial clothes. First, we went […]
Honeymoon in Bali – Part 3
(Read Part 1 and Part 2) On our second full day in Bali, we woke up and had breakfast by the pool again before packing up our things to go to the next hotel. We played in the pool for a while and then got smoothies and a couple’s massage overlooking the ocean. It was really […]
Honeymoon in Bali – Part 2
(Read Part 1 here) We woke up in Bali after a very short sleep, and the weather was nice, despite the storms and heavy rain that occurred while we were sleeping. In the morning, I planned for us to eat breakfast, go to the pool, relax, and get a massage before we started our day. […]
