One of top things on my list of places to go to on my first return trip to South Korea since leaving in 2023 was Suwon. My old hometown. My stomping and sliding grounds in winter. The place I had chosen as my home away from home for a year based on a google image…

Earlier this year, I went back to South Korea for a holiday since leaving in 2023. It was only for a week (all the annual leave I had left) but I was so excited to go back and dip into my personal nostalgic world. Excited seems like an understatement. I carefully crafted my itinerary- I…

For those who can’t be with their loved ones, are missing loved ones or have a complicated relationship with love ones.

Here we are again at the end of another year. My favourite time to reflect on the year that was, what happend and what changes can be made for the new year. I don’t think I’ve done a month by month recount before so I’m going to give it a go this year (inspired by…

It was often used to signal a person’s social status as well. For women, the hanbok consists of 2 parts. The top (Jeogori) and skirt (chima). The top is long…
