approaching the crossroads now
end of quarter banquet was last night but only a select few people cried, myself not included. what i thought would be a cryfest turned out to be a camwhore sesh where i barely even ate because everyone either wanted to take a picture with me or wanted me to take it for them. it didn’t even hit me when lim lausu gave us a shoutout in taiwanese, or when zhang laoshi left. kind of hit when my...

1 more month
today is 11/30 and my return flight is 12/30
we have 3 more weeks of school left and even though none of us are enjoying classes resuming after our 1 week off for thanksgiving, i’m pretty sure everyone is experiencing a bittersweet feeling because as soon as classes end, more and more of us will slowly board our flights back to our separate realities.
in this next month, going out with...
thanksgiving in korea (11/20-11/26).
11/23/10 blogging from a city tour bus in gyeongju (a city in the southeast province of korea, ancient capital of silla kingdom from 57BC - 935AD, houses many historical relics therefore dubbed “museum without walls”)! just had a bibimbap lunch at a restaurant, now on our way to who knows where (the tour is conducted in koraen). this morning we visited the bulkhasan temple (gorg) and...
korea update
it is 630 am and we are about to head out. today we are going to the DMZ (Demilitarized zone) between north and south korea. American and South korean soldiers accompany us as we get as close to north korea as possible as americans. we’re all running on 2 hours of sleep. wish us luck that we don’t accidentally stumble from sleep deprivation across the border!
currently 530 am and buzzed so therefore its the best time to update tumblr!
i actually treid updteing it the other day and spent 1.5 hrs typing it but it didnt save, so i guess maybe i saved some ppl from reading some srsly boring shit
its been 2 weeks since the last update nad i’ve been to yeliu national beach park/keelung nightmarket to see the queen’s head rock and eat amazing...

the past 2 weeks
pretty sure i got ripped off by the fruit lady when she sold me 1/4 of a small cantaloupe for $60NT ($2 US). to make things worse i think im having some sort of reaction to the preservatives she probably put in there. tightening of chest, head tension, facial tension, prickly sensation. im so mad >( i hope swindler fruit lady gets swindled one day herself >(
since my last post, i went to...

just got back from painstakingly hopping to and from the kitchen on one foot. why? my left foot hurts. why? well let’s start from the beginning.

day one
i suppose now would be a good time to start my taiwan blog. i’m studying abroad through UCLA’s EAP program at NTU (National Taiwan University) in Taipei, Taiwan. i don’t usually publicize blogs about the nitty-gritties of my daily life b/c i think they can tend to be boring, but i want to keep the memory of the next 4 months forever engrained in the kernels of the internet/my...
