[FOOD REVIEW] MILK GONGBANG

밀크工房 (Milk GongBang) is a small hole-in-the-wall type cafe that specializes in soft serve. This was just a random pit stop during our walk around the Ihwa Mural Village because I was really hot and wanted soft serve ice cream, and we stumbled upon a gem. After trying their milk soft serve, I was raving about …

[REVIEW] HANBOKNAM

A friend asked me if I was finally done with my posts about Asia and I thought I was but I just remembered that I had these reviews as drafts saved AHA. Having a little photoshoot in a hanbok was a little dream that I didn't realize I had. For someone who has very little …

MAKING PEACE WITH FEEDBACK

I am so bad at taking feedback. I don’t think this is something I’ve really thought about until now, but I realized that this is one of the things that’s been holding me back for my whole life. While thinking about what kind of career I should be striving towards, the concept of "feedback" kept …

7 REQUIREMENTS FOR MY NEXT JOB

I've been seriously thinking about what I want for the rest of my life, career-wise, health-wise, life-wise. There is a whirlwind of ideas unexplored and questions unanswered in my head that's making it hard to sort it all out, so I'm taking some time to swim through these thoughts here, in my version of a …

Day 25: Going Out with a Bang! New Hair, Who Dis?

The dreaded day is here! It's the last day of our trip and every moment was a blast. I found my 5th Line Bear at the Incheon Airport (I'm determined to find 10 in my lifetime). I've been dreaming of dyeing my hair pastel pink since the 6th grade. I think I've always been scared …

Day 24: More K-BBQ and Arcade Skills

I have zero memory of this day, except for the fact that we went back to The Nice Pig to eat. And there was an arcade underneath the restaurant and I won a Molang bumblebee plush from a crane machine! We all decided to spend 10000 won that day on games and I won mine …

Day 23: Playing Dress Up, Pretend, and Games

This was the day we decided to use a Seoul Discover Pass! 경복궁 (Gyeongbokgung Palace) Cute little palace to walk around! This sounds pretty bad but after being exposed to so many temples and castles in Thailand and Japan already, it felt a little tried :')   창덕궁 (Changdeogung Palace) The vibe of the two …

Day 22: The Photoshoot of My Dreams

Ihwa Mural Village The mural village was one of my favorite places! All of the art displays were really interesting and intriguing. The murals started as a government project to bring more tourists to the area which will further drive the economy, and that worked great! But the residents of the hilly village were not …

Day 21: The Nice Taxi Driver and The Nice Pig

We were done with most of our trip! It's now our last country and we were determined to make it the best possible. Beautiful Korean Apartments It took a bit of time to figure out 1. where our Airbnb was and 2. how to get inside. But once we got in, I realized how much …

Day 20: Shops and Shops and Shops

We took a train back to Tokyo for our last day in Japan! We dedicated the day to shop around Shibuya 109 and Harajuku, so this was a pretty quick day 😀 One thing I noticed about Japanese clothing stores is that there's always an attendant waiting at the door and as soon as you …
