I’ve been in Korea just over 5 months now. Time is FLYING.
I was sadly one of the people who didn’t really do much this summer. Instead, I stayed in my apartment underneath the air conditioner as much as possible. Now that the weather’s been so nice, I’ve been venturing outside more to take photos and actually…do things. I’ve been taking long walks around Bundang Central Park and Johnny’s neighborhood, having sangria and empanadas on the patio of my new favorite cafe, dining in Itaewon, watching free concerts in the park, and just enjoying the weather before winter comes and I REALLY don’t go outside.
This weekend, I’m going to an MMA fight in Wonju and I am BEYOND excited. I’ve never been to a live MMA event before, and I’ve never really traveled around Korea outside of Seoul, Bundang and Yongin, so it’ll be a nice change of scenery.
What are you up to this weekend? Anything fun? Let me know in the comments!

Congrats on 5 months & woohoo just 7 more left. Looks like you are happy & having a grand time so that makes me happy. Those empanadas look good. What they stuffed with?
The empanadas are great! Most are stuffed with beef and peppers and spices, but I got a chicken one that is delicious too!
Wow – 5 months?! Crazy. Glad that is seems like you’re enjoying it, and taking advantage of all the awesome opportunities coming your way
Can’t wait to hear about the next 7 months now that you’ve adjusted to life there…
Way to go! You’ve come a long way since you’ve started blogging and that’s something to be proud of. The photos are great, keep them coming. Can’t wait to hear about that MMA event, I’ve never been to one but it sure sounds like an action packed time. I’m going to an outdoor concert myself this weekend. Thievery Corporation will be headlining and I love them, check them out here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ao9Pdaj-n0&feature=relmfu
yeaaa! This is the perfect weather for an outdoor concert, and it’s not supposed to rain this weekend either. YAY!
It was Mexican Independence Day last weekend here and I literally avoided the crowds and the horrible stormy weather by staying in and doing sweet Eff All. I need to take a leaf out of your book and start going out more and enjoying the little sunshine we do get.
Love your pics, btw.
Empanadas and MMA? haha, what a life. I’m glad the weather is being kinder and allowing you to explore more. With only 7 months left, you need to see it all! This weekend my good friend Stephanie (The Travel Chica) is flying into my hometown of St. Louis to go to a Taste of St. Louis Festival and sample some of the local beer that ISN’T budweiser (we have more to offer!) so I am pretty pumped!
I love these photos… they all look so tasty and cozy!
Thank you!
