Fruit Hats and SQUID KIMCHI. |
These are the reflections, thoughts, and musings of my life here in South Korea. I live in Daegu, the third largest city in the ROK, according to Wikipedia. But Wikipedia is never wrong, like me. So I guess have fun reading, scanning, or making fun of my blog. |

Thats reminds me of Adam and I. He’s American, I’m British, and since we’ve been married he starts coming off with saying certain British phrases (like calling ‘dinner’ ‘tea’ instead.) Or instead of saying “can’t” it’s more like “carn’t”. :3

:( I lost my camera. I’m sad…
Personally, I enjoy the new years a lot. Not because of the parties, but because of the excitement of something new, and a fresh start. I’ve set a few goals for myself for the new year, and I intend on sticking to them, 100%. Hopefully, this time next year I can look back and say “I did ALL of these~~~~~~~~~~~~”

I know there are others I’m forgetting. I had a few like “Become a regular at a coffeeshop that I haven’t bothered putting on here. Hopefully, 2011 will be amazing though. :)
You would think that when someone answers their phone in a different language than you, you should probably check to see if they speak Korean before rambling on for 3 minutes about something. Don’t you think, random Korean lady?
I’m now fostering a little Pom for my local animal shelter, KAPS.
Click on her pic and it’ll take you to her page on ARK ;D
Happy Holidays to everybody. It’s that time of year where you just HAVE to be happy knowing Santa is coming…. Because he’s real you know… And don’t you DARE say differently, or you’ll be visited by Krumpus. >:)
Anyway, I know it’s hard for most people being away from their friends and family around this time of year, especially in a country that’s so different from your own, so I sincerely hope you all had a great Hanukkah, have a great Christmas, or whatever other holidays are around this time of year.
Stay safe !

| Koreans are like most humans, they turn grey and get old, I don't / wont eat dog, there are no rickshaws, cabs are cheap, and Koreans DO have wings like fairies. |
Anonymous asked: do rickshaws charge the same per mile as cabs do? or is it cheaper?
Wouldn’t know, they don’t have those here. :)
