What I Read in March 2018

April 5, 2018April 5, 2018 ninjamoni Leave a comment

Wow, it’s already April! My birthday month! I didn’t read as much as I wanted to this past month, but a ton of great Netflix shows have been keeping me busy. My March reading round-up is a mixed bag. I read a graphic novel, a novel translated from its original French, a collection of personal […]

Weird Superstitions that Japanese/Korean People Believe

March 25, 2018March 25, 2018 ninjamoni 4 Comments

I’ve lived in Asia for over 5 years now, and I’ve heard a lot of strange things from Japanese and Korean people. I thought I’d compile them here for your reading pleasure. Some of them are superstitions that many people believe, and others are things that certain people have said to me that the general […]

Reading Goals 2018

January 10, 2018January 10, 2018 ninjamoni Leave a comment

I feel good about 2018. I don’t have any more weddings to plan, I have a big trip to Europe coming up this year, I’m halfway through my year-long part-time job contract, and Junkyu and I are coming up on our second wedding anniversary. Also, I’m trying to kick my habit of making excuses not […]

Riding Rail Bikes in Wonju

May 23, 2017May 23, 2017 ninjamoni Leave a comment

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 […]

The First Year of Marriage – Part 3

January 9, 2017April 14, 2017 ninjamoni 1 Comment

Nine months have passed since our wedding day, and although I feel like it’s been a while since that day, I also think the months have flown by. Lately, my husband and I have been trying to budget our money, so I’m the one who keeps tabs on how much we spend. It’s helping me […]

First Time Cross Stitching – 십자수 첫 작품

December 31, 2016December 31, 2016 ninjamoni Leave a comment

My mother used to cross stitch before she had me, and I’ve always looked at her work and wanted to try it. I did attempt my first cross stitch back in high school, but, frustrated, I gave up. 옛날에 우리 엄마는 십자수를 했었다. 그래서 나도 엄마가 했던 작품을 해보고 싶다고 생각을 했다.  하지만 처음에는 너무 […]

Being an Introvert in Korea

December 20, 2016December 20, 2016 ninjamoni 2 Comments

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 […]

Identity as a Foreign Wife in Korea

November 17, 2016November 17, 2016 ninjamoni 6 Comments

Now that I’m married to a Korean native and living in Korea, what do I call myself? I used to identify as an expat (as that’s what most Westerners call themselves when moving abroad for work). But now I only work part-time and my job does not make up an important part of my identity […]

The First Year of Marriage – Part 2

October 9, 2016October 19, 2016 ninjamoni Leave a comment

It’s officially been six full months since we got married, and we are still learning a lot about one another. Intercultural marriage is challenging at times, but my husband and I both learn a lot each day, and our lives will never be boring. Even since the three-month mark, a lot has happened, and it’s […]

Adventures at Daecheon Beach

September 8, 2016September 9, 2016 ninjamoni 1 Comment

This past weekend, my husband and I went on a church retreat to Daecheon Beach. It’s about a two hour drive from Daejeon on the west coast of Korea. We went last year, so this is quickly becoming an annual summer trip for us. I’ve been attending an English church (Koreans also attend, and the […]
