Anonymous asked: Can I ask you, why do you buy water? I thought that Korean water was safe for drinking? Thanks XD
I bought new running shoes today. I went to the Lotte Plaza near my house because I remembered seeing an ABC Mart there. The biggest size a woman’s shoe came in was 260 and I’m a 265. I had to buy men’s shoes. Luckily, there was ONE single pair of running shoes for men that were identical to the matching female version, and not ‘manlier’ (i.e., clunkier and uglier.)...

Want to buy them all!
OK I bought the ivory and black ‘Sha Sha’ ones! But that is all! I am going to finalize the order now before I buy any more.
This always happens when I order my water bottles on GMarket… I end up with clothes and jewelry and shoes.

So a friend sent me a link to this video. I didn’t see anything on Tumblr about it yet.
Ummm… IDK. I can’t believe that’s on a news-type program.
A little synopsis: a news report about Korean women and “foreign” men from MBC. Taken from Crimson North’s FB Page.
Yay, thank you for posting a subtitled version! This is so ridiculous it’s almost funny....

Hey guess what I can breathe today! Yay!
I didn’t even have to bring up the subject of classroom discipline with my co-teacher. She brought it up at lunch and said she was not enforcing classroom rules because she thought I didn’t want her to interfere in the class. So I told her I would love for her to interfere in my class. She promised next time to discipline the students in...

Ew. I am still sick and it seems to be getting worse. I can’t taste anything. This is going to be one of those long sick nights where I twist and turn and can’t breathe and wake up a dozen times in a cold sweat. Gross.
Today was the last after school class snack and movie party. I watched Ella Enchanted for the second time. It is probably one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I...

One of my co-teachers was great at first but is now slowly turning into a clone of the co-teacher I find utterly useless. The only difference is this one actually speaks English well, so I’m doubly disappointed in her recent total disinterest in aiding me in the classroom in any way. Lately she…
First don’t even bother giving them empty threats (that was...

Dreamingofkorea sent me Korean subtitles for Ella Enchanted and now she is my favorite person in the universe! Dreamingofkorea, I want to buy you a nice steak dinner at Top Cloud in repayment of your kindness! ㅋㅋㅋ (JK! I’m broke!)
Hahahaha i’m enjoying the steak already…
Thank you and thank your boyfriend again! For the hundredth time!

Blergh x 2
Just woke up from a nap and it’s almost 9 PM. In addition to me working until 6:30 on Tuesdays, I think I also have some kind of allergy. Or a reaction to yellow dust. It affects only my right nostril. It doesn’t really make me feel too bad but I have been waking up with a sore throat the past two mornings, and nothing starts the day off great like not being able to swallow or drink...

OMG!!! I didn’t realise Cedric Diggory was played by Robert Pattinson!
But he was so charming and yummy in the behind the scenes footage on Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire! D; How did this not click in my pea brain of mine??
Seriously, I think I sleep through life. Did I also mention I’ve never seen Forrest Gump or Home Alone. And I only just recently watched Ghostbusters and...

Anonymous asked: Not really a question, but it would be weird if there were no Forever 21 stores in Korea since the founder and CEO is Korean to begin with. OK, he's technically Korean-American, but that's no reason not to exploit the ancestral homeland

jennargibson asked: Hey, just read your answer about clothing chains in Korea, and I'm happy to report that they're definitely not just limited to Seoul. I live in Cheonan, which is considered a small-medium sized Korean city and we have an H&M and a department store with all the designer labels you could need.^^
Oh no! There are no subtitles for this movie. None I can find on Google and none I can figure out on Naver. Grrrrr. I guess it will be ‘How to Train Your Dragon,’ then.

Sometimes I feel like a super-dweeby overprotective parent because I only show movies in my classes that are very, very age-appropriate. Nothing too sexy and not more than a couple mild swear words. Also I like showing movies with strong female roles because I want to inspire my girls.^^ I’m going to screen ‘Ella Enchanted’ after school tomorrow and Wednesday because we are...
Anonymous asked: Hi, I love your blog! I remember you posting a picture of Alexa Chung wearing black flats that had, I think, 3 straps.(They were Vivienne Westeood shoes, I believe). In that post, I recall you saying you got the same pair on Gmarket for very cheap. I would love to know specifically where you purchased them if you remember because I would love to own a pair myself. Thanks so much!

Aaaah I don’t know what I was doing during my work hours all week but now it’s Monday and I’m stuck in my apartment finishing up the lessons for the coming week on my own time when I should be outside enjoying the warm and lovely weather… next week, I WILL finish my work while at work! Nothing ruins a good (3-day) weekend like working! I want to be outside! I want to be...
journalwoman: What's your favorite Korean movie? →
journalwoman:
Today was full of movie-talk! My friends and I considered going to a DVD 방 and spent about 20 minutes inspecting the movie selection. In the end, though, our group of 4 couldn’t agree on a genre, so we left. The omnipresent odor of basement mold was also probably a big factor… Seeing all those…
I love everything by Park Chan Wook, who directed Old Boy, especially Thirst....

World DJ Fest
I went to the World DJ Festival yesterday. Normally this would not be my type of thing (electronic music! crowds! the outdoors!) but I relented because I wanted to give it a shot at least once, and I have really been itching to get out of Seoul lately. Also my friend who was volunteering there got us half price tickets, and that was awesome! I think that was really the deciding factor for me.
