March really went by too fast! I spent the early part of my month getting my life here back in order after India & Vietnam (read: saving money and buying perishable groceries). The second half of the month was back to normal Ashley power speed. I haven't seen my family in almost 15 months and am starting to get seriously homesick.
Week 1: Decorated my apartment with lanterns from Hanoi & Korean vocabulary I can never remember.
Other notable things: crossed an item off my bucketlist (sleep in traditional Korean house), started tutoring a girl from North Korea (she is SOOO cool & one of those people with infectious optimism), signed up for an online HTML and CSS course, and a new Russian guy moved next door and I've been trying to set him up with Lauren (hehe).
March was a great month and April is going to be even better! Super excited to start my class at Yonsei, Choi and I are going to Jinhae for the cherry blossoms, Gareth Emery - one of my favorite DJs - is coming to Seoul, I want to get my accounting test out of the way. Ahhh~~ Off to meet a friend for coffee. Annyeong everyone!
Week 2: Pizza & wine with the ladies, English department meeting at a Save The Children cafe, got a Hello Kitty manicure, Brunch with Choi at Flying Pan Blue, discovered an authentic fried Japanese food restaurant, went to a 10 Magazine Korean Culture lecture (bubble tea^^).
Week 3: Bought lots of cheap strawberries, met up with Justine and ABL at IFC mall for dinner and ice cream after work, spent White Day at a Taekwondo show with the girls - Lauren gave us chocolate and super-cute cards, went to Jeonju to eat good bibimbap and sleep in a hanok, my Korean friend and her daughter threw me a belated birthday party at my apartment.
Book club
Week 4: My Korean friend made me a bracelet, found Vietnamese milk to make cà phê sữa đá, lots of nights running along the Han River, met up with a couple of friends from Japan a few times, registered to take my advanced accounting midterm at the Canadian Embassy next month, hosted an Indian-themed book club meeting with my girlfriends.
Tuesday night walk around Sinchon
Seoul @ dusk
Thanks for the care package~~
