My brain was exhausted and body wired when it should’ve been the other way around - as if aware and weary of today’s agenda. That being said, by 7AM I lay in bed, wide-awake, contemplating the idea of eating. I wonder if it’s green porridge again. But of course, with other bits of things added in the mix. Not [...]

Last weekend was a double whammy; with foreigners gettin’ their drink-on earlier than normal in celebration of Saint Patrick’s Day at Seoul’s annual parade near Insadong.
