It’s time to throw these heels away.
They are so old, right?
We’ve been through a lot in the past nine months–barhopping, catching trains, bookstores, reaching the top shelves of supermarkets, just barely scraping myself off the “little person” list–but my entire wardrobe has revolved around these shoes. Sweaters, shirts, blazers, jewelry, whatever–suddenly I’m in this sea [...]

Congratulations are in order for my baby sister, Marbs, who is one of three singles players on her high school tennis team with an undefeated record. 19-0, and this is only her second year playing the sport! (Like, seriously. She only picked up a racket last year.)
Her photo was in the paper today, and I’d link [...]

I probably won’t be posting as frequently as I used to–maybe once or twice a week? The new foreign teacher is here (she’s cool, but I miss M terribly), and I’ve been showing her around, taking her out to dinner, the train, bars–you know, what my friends did when I arrived in Korea last November.
It’s rather [...]

“Teacher,” my darling little John tells me during science class. “My father go to America. He say, American people eat maaaaaany hamburger.”
I smirk to myself. “Well, yeah, I guess they do.”
“He say, American people berrrrry fat!” He stretches his arm out. “Many hamburgers. Many fat American people!”
“Not all Americans, John. I’m American, and I don’t [...]

It’s one in the morning. I’m still in the office.
Does a teacher’s work ever end?

The Motherfucker isn’t going to Pusan anymore, and Z can’t afford to go either. Jason and Angela, knowing zip about the film festival (or any place outside of Seoul for that matter), dropped out.
And there’s just something so depressing about doing something by yourself, when you’d originally planned to do it with friends.
Boo.
Now it’s half past four [...]

My fellow bloggers in South Korea probably received this email from The Washington Post and Oxford International Review:
In the wake of North Korea’s first successful nuclear test, The Washington Post’s PostGlobal and Oxford International Review are sponsoring exclusive blog responses to a question posed by former South Korean President and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Kim Dae-Jung:
Why do [...]

I have just approached my Yogilates instructor, Seung-Eun, about taking three extra yoga classes a week.
I work longer hours on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and I think some exercise in the morning will lighten the load. Eight hours every five days doesn’t faze me. I can jog on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
That’s the way [...]

So I’m back, I’m tired, and here are some highlights from my stay in Gyeongju:
a) An elderly German and French group joined us on Saturday. For Europeans, they were quite rude. Most of those I’ve encountered outside the temple had been very courteous and eager to follow Korean etiquette. Anyway, touring Asia with such a large, [...]

“You’re braver these days,” my supervisor told me.
Four days in Gyeongju. Happy Holidays.
