Amanda has posted the last Friendly Friday Challenge as the team bid farewell to this challenge. The last prompt is turning points. I actually started my blog in 2013 but it looked a lot different from what is is today and I was more of a reposter. In hindsight, I really wished I had written…

The symphony of cicadas is dying down. I feel a slight change in the tinge of green on the trees. With every passing day of winds bringing with it a new day. Change is in the air. A reminder that time keeps moving. The sun is setting earlier now and there is a slight chill…

Another ‘must see’ in Busan is Gamcheon Culture Village. Located to the west of Busan station, this hillside pantone coloured village is a great place to spend a few hours. Preferably in a cafe with sweeping views of this village. This village was built by refugees who settled here after the Korean war in the…

Of course, I have dedicated a whole post to shoes. When I was trying to decide the minimal amount of shoes to bring (is it even minimal?), I kept going back and forth on my selection. I already know that I’ll be walking everywhere so no heels and I would need work appropriate shoes too.…

It’s already been about 2 months since I arrived in South Korea! How time flies. I think I’m becoming more settled now and have found a new routine. I have a bank card, a resident card and home internet now. I am familiar with the bus system and which buses take me to the places…

I had tried some Korean food before coming to Korea but little did I know that I was in for a big treat. Most meals out are served with banchan or side dishes. There are a variety of side dishes and some places make their own so there is never 2 banchan dishes which are…
