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.

Followtaking a big paw step out
I think this was the most daring (?) thing that I’ve eaten here… more daring to me than the octopus, since I normally refuse to eat this at home but I was pretty open to eating octopus.
UPDATED 06/16/16: cafes in seoul
I thought Vancouver was the land of expensive cafes. But little did I know about the 5 million coffee chains and cute cafes that they have lining every street I walk on! So I’ve made it a mission to try as many of them as I possibly can. I’ll keep updating this post as I go to more cafes!
UPDATE: noraebang + damotori
Seoul is very much a nightlife city, and you really haven’t been in Seoul until you’ve tried out their nightlife. I’m more of a quiet type of person, so I don’t really like to party and drink very hard. But I still had a lot of fun at both the noraebang (노래방) and a bar!
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!
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…
things i don’t like about korea
South Korea has been really good to me so far. But nobody and nowhere is perfect so there has to be a few things that I wish could change about here!
korea’s cherry blossom festival
Cherry blossoms are a huge thing here in Korea, as they are in Japan. I’m really glad that I came during cherry blossom season so I could really experience how pink and fluffy the streets get!
more paw steps out
You really learn to take more chances when you’re on exchange. Everyone stretches their limits in some way – whether it be big (like skydiving) or small (talking to someone new). But it’s not every day that you get to stretch your limit by trying live octopus!
not getting killed by your roommate in the four months that you’re on exchange
Living in such close proximity with someone is really hard, especially when you’re used to being an only child and having your own space.
