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 […]

Trip to Jinju and Busan! – 진주 부산 여행!
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 […]
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 […]
Honeymoon in Bali – Part 5
(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. […]
Honeymoon in Bali – Part 1
We finally got to go on our honeymoon recently, about five months after our wedding took place. In Korea, Chuseok is a national holiday, like American Thanksgiving, where families get together and eat lots of food. In actuality, it is a very stressful holiday for many people, especially for the wives of first-born or only […]
My First Year in Korea
One year ago, on August 14th, 2015, I had just arrived in South Korea and was slowly adjusting to my new life. I can’t believe how fast this past year has gone by. It seems like just yesterday I was waiting for Junkyu in the Incheon Airport, ready to start my new journey. Now I […]
