First off, let me start by saying yes. It has been ages since I’ve last posted, but you can’t blame a girl for living life rather than writing about it. Since last autumn, life has brought many unexpected changes. In fact, it looks as though this might be my last year (for real). I’ve been [...]

Is there a tasty, upscale, attentative, foreigner friendly Mediterranean/Italian restaurant in Busan? Yes. It’s El Olive. Foremost, it’s absolutely crucial that in order to be authentic they must have an assortment of red and white wine to perfectly pair with each course. Check. Second, true Italian bistros will serve warm, home-made bread. And if they’re really [...]

March 25, 2011: Waking up Friday morning, 5AM – 3 hours earlier than normal (or rather humanly possible in Korea), I suddenly realize; I had less than an hour to pack, jump on the first subway and arrive in time for my flight to Jeju Island at 7:30. Thank goodness I was smart enough to [...]

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.

For every foreign woman in Korea who has ever struggled with creating that magical bond between another man (or woman) and ended in disastrous failure, you are not alone. Whilst deadly wave after wave of added pressure in being in a foreign land that belittles our rights to be treated equally amongst the majority sex, [...]
