I had known about the Seoul Forest 서울숲, but what I didn’t know was that there are deer inside that you can feed – so obviously I had to go!

han river
I think going to the Han River is on the list of must-dos for everyone’s list, and I’m really surprised that I didn’t go earlier.
cookin’ nanta
If you’re going to watch any show in South Korea, definitely watch Cookin’ Nanta – it’s one of the most popular ones around.
immortal song
I haven’t been having much luck with k-pop experience in Korea, which is strange since it’s one of the main reasons why I had always wanted to come to Korea… but I was lucky enough to be able to attend a show recording for Immortal Song with my Mentor’s Club cell!
busan + jeonju weekend trip
Busan 부산 is the second largest city in South Korea, and is the largest port city as well. I originally didn’t have anyone to go with to Busan, because Stef had previously already gone to Busan with our Singaporean friends, but she decided to go with me again so I got a chance to go!
korean bath houses – jjimjilbang 찜질방
This is one of the most key parts of Korean culture – and I knew that I couldn’t leave Korea without going to one of these at least once. Time to get naked with strangers!
jeju island: thursday and friday
I first learned about Jeju Island through the popular Korean drama Boys Over Flowers that I watched a lot of years back. It was the first drama that exposed me to the Hallyu wave and got me into k-pop. Specifically, they have a song that’s part of the OST that literally screams Jeju Island. I never thought I would get the chance to go to Jeju Island, but since I’m on exchange… it was a definite must do!
lotte world
Lotte World is the biggest indoor theme park in the world, and I’ve watched enough Korean variety shows and dramas to want to know what it looks like inside… and I’m really glad that I got the chance to go and experience the rides!
landing on my feet
After coming to Seoul, a lot of things have happened that I never thought would happen. Including bungee jumping off a 55m high tower!
being flexible
Stef and I had wanted to go to the Taean Tulip Festival – or more like I had wanted to go since there are tulip festivals back at home, and my dad really likes flowers so I wanted to take some pictures for him. Unfortunately, not everything went as we planned…
