Thanks Nature Cafe in Hongdae is just one of many many little cafe shops around Seoul. We were trying to look for a small little “hole in the wall” but in the end settled (or more so Jessica’s stomach..) on this coffee and waffle specialty cafe on the main road leading to Hong-ik University. While [...]

So rainy Korea.. what’s there worth doing on a rainy Saturday afternoon? Rather than waste the last of my few weekends left in Korea, I spent the day traveling to Korea’s ever famous 63 Building in Yeouinaru. It can be a little troublesome to travel in Seoul rain, but we made it to the building [...]

As mentioned, Akaraka is a huge event filled with various games, foods, and performances. Two of these events included a boxing match between Yonsei’s boxing club and Korea’s military school, and the other performances from Yonsei’s jazz dance group, Jazz Beat. See, Koreans do do more than just study all day in the library (then [...]

It’s that time of the year, Yonseians! This Friday marks Yonsei University’s annual Akaraka pep rally, an all-day event that includes cheering, dancing, and singing to an assortment of Korean and Engrish music. It’s similar to 영고전, the end of year sports rally with our rival school Koryo University, just without the sports…or Koryo. Spring [...]

It seems we’ve caught a bit of Japan’s raindrops, thanks a lot Allison, haha.. Thanks to the rain, our Korean class postponed our after-midterm day trip to Lotte World amusement park. No matter since I would much prefer an extra day in to enjoy the spring showers and catch up on some homework and reading. [...]

Boom boom boom goes 한강 난지지구

Tonight we headed to 한강 난지지구 Han River Park where Hi Seoul hosted the 3rd Annual Seoul World DJ Festival. To be honest, it was a great concept and the fact that Koreans were actually dancing was a phenomena given my experience clubbing in Hong-dae (basically, doing more than just standing there awkwardly). But since [...]

I was feeling sick the other day and decided to take a day in to heal my throat. When I woke up sometime later that afternoon, I found this: Just one more to add to the hundred reasons why I love them..
Nikko Goes to America

..and gorged herself on Tex Mex. Oh man I am dying here you guys. I just returned with Becky, Michele, and Yoo-won from the military base near Itaewon where we spent 3 hours at an all-you-can-eat American/Mexican fusion restaurant. And of course, as we are talking about American cuisine here, it’s the works: tacos, pulled [...]
