Updates and Such
I've recently realized that it's been awhile since my last update. I apologize, though I assure that nothing incredibly exciting has been happening, so you haven't missed out on anything.
Some things that I've done recently...
My friend Stephanie visited me from Japan a few weeks ago. We took a half-day tour up to the DMZ and got to see North Korea ( Read more... ) -
Lunar New Year Celebrations
Well, the Lunar New Year holiday is officially over here in Asia. It is quite possibly the biggest holiday of the year next to Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving). The entire city of Seoul emptied out as everyone went to their hometowns to spend time with family, eat lots of food and remember ancestors.
Naturally, my friends and I (Ruth, Meghan and ( Read more... ) -
Quick Job Update
Wonderful news, all! I'm officially off probabtion at my work. That means I am now a fully certified English instructor. And it also means I can now use my vacation days. Hooray!

Finally an update
I suppose I have to reason not to update this thing. I've been ordered to stay in bed for at least one more day, so I thought I would grace you all with an update.

My bed came this week, so now my apartment is one step closer to ( Read more... ) -
Finally some pictures...
So I have finally ventured into the realms of Korean cooking and I think I've passed. I made a huge batch of mandoo kuk today, which is a dumpling soup. Granted it's more like mandoo kuk with a little Emma twist. I couldn't find any beef in the little market next to my house, so the broth is flavored with soy sauce and sesame oil instead of beef, ( Read more... ) -
Moved In
I am now officially moved into my new apartment. Everything is there and put away, though it's definitely bare. I'm waiting until payday to go get some furniture. I'm borrowing an air mattress from a friend, so a bed can wait until next month, but I really need to get a fridge this week. Thank goodness payday is on Thursday. ^^ I also thought that ( Read more... ) -

On My Way
So, I got an apartment yesterday. I'm still kind of in shock because I initially wasn't planning on getting one so soon. I knew that the sooner I got into one, the better so that I wasn't paying 3 months of rent at the end of my contract when I wasn't living in the apartment. But still, it was a rush ( Read more... )
