My husband Junkyu and I have been married for over a year, and we still face bumps in the road when it comes to deciding on what to eat. We aren’t alone – many people I know who are also in international relationships face the food obstacle sooner or later, and it isn’t always easy […]

Our Korean Wedding – 우리 결혼했어요
On Saturday, April 9th, 2016, Junkyu and I got married in the traditional Korean style, just as the sun set. It was a beautiful spring day, and although I had no idea what to do during the ceremony, the staff were very kind and helpful, and everything went smoothly. A few days before, we picked up […]
A Sheepish Weekend in Daegwallyeong
I grew up riding horses and around animals, but for a very long time, one of my favorite animals has been sheep. I used to ask my mom to let us get some once we moved out to the country on 25 acres, but she was against it, since sheep need a certain kind of […]
A Korean Family Chuseok
Junkyu’s friends come over a lot. When I first started dating him, he would let me meet everyone over Skype and it made me feel really included, albeit a bit awkward. Then, when I would visit Korea, we would hang out with his friends and family, and it made me feel even more part of […]
Golden Week in Korea
I already posted about the most important thing that happened to me while I was in South Korea over Golden Week, my engagement! But here is all the other cool stuff I did! When I first arrived in Busan, it was about 11am and I was hauling a huge suitcase which weighed about 80lbs. In […]
A Trip to the Owl Cafe!
I am so lucky because Junkyu was able to come visit me this past weekend. He had a free pass for 6 months to use the Fukuoka/Busan International Ferry and it was a great deal so he made the most of it. It expires soon, so this was his last trip to Japan for a […]
Birthday Weekend with Dolphins!
My birthday was last Sunday, so my friend came to visit for the weekend. It was nice getting to go out and do things with my friends, since last week was a whole week of sitting at middle school doing nothing. I wasn’t even told that we weren’t having class or that we had entrance […]
Gone with the Cherry Blossoms
It’s my last day of Spring Break and I’m sad to see it go. I got a lot done and I’m excited for the new school year to start because I know some of my teachers will have moved around and I will have new students at elementary school and my elementary school students will […]
Attending a Japanese Wedding
So when I first came to Japan, I was a high school student and I found a summer language program with AFS Intercultural Programs that allowed me to stay with a host family. I was placed in a city in Fukuoka Prefecture called Kurume and loved every minute of it. As an only child, it […]
Family Trip Recap and a Special Announcement!
This past weekend was a whirlwind of traveling, making arrangements, and translating from Japanese to Korean to English. The first time Junkyu’s friends came from Korea, our plans got muddled and things went awry, so I was a little more than nervous to see how this trip would turn out. Thankfully, I had already met his […]
