It’s almost June and I have been walking around wearing my winter shoes forever now. It’s been time for new heels for a while – but shopping is really not one of my favorite activities, so the matter has just been pushed to the side. But today after Economy and Business class I was [...]

My professor says DON’T WORRY
My mom sent me a worried email the other day about how South Korea is regarding the national threats that has been all over the media recently. Friends also ask me weather it’s really safe to be in Seoul at the moment, because of North Koreas unreliable character.
I was 10 minutes early to class today, [...]

CRAZY woman or TRADITIONALLY SWEDISH?
My friends back in Sweden who has known me for a long time, knows that I often wear flowers in my hair. I don’t know why I like it so much. Maybe it’s something like feeling close to nature – or maybe it just the beauty of it that appeals to me. Either way, here [...]

THEATER in Seoul
On Sunday evening I went to the theater for the first time in Seoul. It’s in Hyehwa, a part of Seoul that is full of different types of art. It was a smaller stage than I though, since the actors were very famous and the tickets (I hear) quite expencive. However, fortunetly my friend J [...]

Perfume, a Rose and a Kiss – KOREAN TRADITION
First I heard it from my ex-roommate when we were out for lunch together the other day – about the “perfume, rose and kiss”-tradition. If I got it right, this is what it is: On the third Monday of May, or if it was the date 17th of May I can’t remember, people who are [...]

Personally I don’t know much about watches, but to me it seems to be [...]

I just finished writing my contribution to our group project in Korean Economy class, and it is raining outside – a perfect moment to do absolutely nothing. That is partly why I love rainy days. It seems as if one has no obligations to do anything that requires effort.
However, it is very seldom I do [...]

a date at LOTTE WORLD
Yesterday was really long, but equally as fun. At three o’clock I met Y at Jamsil station, to go to Seoul’s amusement park Lotte World. Our forth date.
The day was perfect. The weather was sunny and beautiful, but not unbearably hot. Lotte World was filled with families, high school teens in their uniforms, and a [...]

Filming “I love KOREA!”
“I love Korea” is the title of the show I did yesterday. My guess, although no one explicitly told me, is that it is meant to present Korea and Korean culture to foreigners. It is hosted by comedian Kim Hyun Chul (김 현철) and Eva (에바) from “Global Talk Show” (미녀들의 수다).
[Boris, Kim Hyun Chul, [...]

I think I’ll keep this PUPPY for now
A couple of weeks ago I found this lost puppy at club ANSWER. He was dancing with a group of friends next to me and my group of friends. Another puppy-friend of his approached me, wagging his tail and was literarily about to lick my face if I hadn’t stopped him. Regardless of how amusing [...]
