Guess what? We bought and moved into an apartment! It’s been a crazy past few months and everything went really fast, but now that we are settled into our new place, we both feel so much better. We started thinking about buying a place (we were technically renting before) and in Korea, most people buy […]

Being Pregnant in Korea – Part 1
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 […]
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 […]
A Solo Saturday in Seoul (feat. HIGHLIGHT)
When I first moved to Korea, I went to plenty of concerts. The first one I saw in Korea was actually with my husband. We went to see Beast, one of my favorite k-pop groups. He was really bored, though, so I knew if I wanted to see them again, I’d probably have to go […]
Weird Superstitions that Japanese/Korean People Believe
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 […]
Wedding Planning from Abroad
In about two weeks, I’ll be leaving for my hometown. I haven’t been back to the U.S. in 2 years, so I’m excited to eat and shop (mostly for books and shoes, since my size is so elusive here in Korea) and see my friends and family! Junkyu will come about two weeks later and […]
KIIP Midterm – Level 4 Test
I finally finished my level 4 KIIP class! My teacher was a lot better than my level 3 teacher, so I feel like I learned a lot more and the topics we covered in level 4 were a bit more interesting and useful. I’m glad the class is over because it was tough going to […]
Trip to Jinju and Busan! – ์ง์ฃผ ๋ถ์ฐ ์ฌํ!
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 ์ง์ฃผ์ฑ before driving down to […]
