Boseoung's Winter Light Festival

In December, there is a light festival in the green tea fields of Boseoung. It is an attempt to attract tourist to a small location in the cold of winter but it is none-the-less fun. The festival itself isn't all too amazing but it is highly enjoyable with the right company. Although it is winter time you can still enjoy green tea ice cream or if you are craving something warm you can indulge in a cup of pipping hot green tea.

The gift store was also open for any food and tea gifts you could desire. I went several weeks ago with a good group of friends and we had a great time!

Ethiopian Food in Seoul

Last month, I met up with my good friend Blain who is studying abroad at EWHA Woman's university in Seoul. Together we discovered a wonderful Ethiopian restaurant. If you are tired of Korean food and want to try something different you should give it a go! The restaurant is shared with Club Zion in Itaewon district. They serve food here before the club opens up at night. The exterior may not look like much, and the interior as well but the food is good and the portions are big! You can enjoy injera; traditional Ethiopian bread, to your hearts content.

Halloween Weekend in Seoul

Halloween in Seoul is extravagant. Walking on the street around Hongdae and Itaewon was a crazy experience. Everyone was dressed in Halloween costumes and the energy of the holiday was easily felt. I visited my friends at EWHA University and we went to a club in Hongdae. There are many clubs in Hongdae and it can be a bit overwhelming. It was a lot of fun though and we met a lot of interesting people along the way. Many clubs in the area charge a 15,000 won entrance fee but this usually includes a drink or even unlimited drinks. The fee at the club I went to included drinks all night. As a result, everyone ended up dancing long into the night. If you are in Korea and want to have the Halloween party of your life be sure to visit Hongdae or Itaewon where the costume parties are abundant!

Here I go again! It is about time I officially started my blog about my journeys in Korea. I am hoping to update with lots of exciting images, travel tips, funny stories and anything in-between. I can't believe it has been three months since I arrived in Korea on the TaLK program (Teach and Learn in Korea) and the journey is just beginning as I have over eight months left in my contract. Today, I am heading to Seoul from my new hometown of Jinju. Let's see what type of fun images I can capture over the weekend.
