Little Things 2: Coming Back

Ok, so you know how when you’re a kid and 15 minutes feels like a long time, and an hour is for-ev-er, and, seriously, what even is a year? And then some random older person says something like, “when you’re older like me, time just flies by,” and then the child version of you thinks, …

Busan, Beaches, Battlestar Galactica

I think we can all agree that, if you have the opportunity to reference The Office in any way, it’s basically required that you take the opportunity (apologies to anyone who thought there might be some Battlestar Galactica content coming your way.

Attack of the Futuristic Appliances

We had finally gotten our bags from the carousel at Incheon airport outside of Seoul, after what seemed like an eternity of watching bag after bag take their personal victory lap around the metal merry-go-round, and were trying to find our way to the exit when we came across what was assuredly the fully-realized physical …

From what we can tell, the required gear list, at least in winter …

Fiiire Festival

A few weeks after arriving in Korea, we were spending some time in our hotel researching places that we might like to travel to when we came across a video advertising a fire festival on a beautiful island, which we obviously had to book tickets to immediately. And yes, maybe I’m intentionally trying to make …

Little Things

You know what I didn’t really think about when we moved to South Korea? How to get a haircut. It wasn’t really on the short list of things to think about as we were navigating the logistics to move here, but it quickly became important a few weeks into our time here when I started to resemble the Geico caveman a couple of weeks in.

One Month In…

So, if you didn’t know already, we moved to South Korea just over a month ago! You might say to yourself, “a month is kind of a long time to go without providing your friends and family with any updates,” and to that we say, “my bad.” If we were chatting via the wonderful Korean …
