Episode #38: The 봉봉 Drink

  We had quite a laugh after this. I may have exaggerated a little bit, but she really was adamant about me trying this drink lol. Once she motioned to give me some of the drink, I was ready to try it, but she moved so fast and seemed to force the can to my … Read more

The Search for 깻잎전 (Sesame Leaf Jeon)

전 (Jeon) is a popular type of dish served in Korea. It is a pancake like dish and has many varieties that people cook and enjoy. Some varieties include seafood, tofu, veggies like onions, ham, egg, and my personal favorite, a sesame leaf wrapped around meat. However…for some reason, the sesame leaf jeon is REALLY … Read more

Episode #37: Dreams of Garlic

    Really one of the strangest dreams I’ve ever had. I actually didn’t start liking garlic until I came to Korea, and I had eaten garlic with some Samgyeopsal the night before so maybe it was my subconscious revealing itself in my dream. Either way, Hyo got a good kick out of it when … Read more

2 Years Later…Thoughts on Engagement and Our Journey

So it’s been a little over 2 years since Hyo and I have been together. Time really does fly when you’re having fun and when I first came to Korea in 2009, I never thought I would meet such an amazing woman. As I posted briefly last month, I proposed to her on our trip … Read more

Episode #36: Basketball Couple

  So yea…I lost the bet. I was really trying to give her some incentive to try harder but honestly I didn’t think she would make the shot (sorry Hyo! lol). Just goes to show you to never underestimate anyone. It was actually my first time shooting since I dislocated my left ring finger over … Read more

Episode #35: Hyo’s Revenge

    So this is how Hyo gets her payback on me for pulling the trick in the last episode. It’s a back and forth war that will probably never end.

Episode #34: Flicker

So I can pretty much get Hyo with this trick 90% of the time. One of the reasons is that this trick is not well known in Korea. I usually can’t do it in consecutive days or in the same day, but if I give it a few days or so, I’m able to flick … Read more

Episode #33: Blown off the mountain?

  So it was REALLY windy that day and paired with Hyo’s fear of heights, it wasn’t a good combination. She was ready to go back down immediately but pushed me to go get a few pictures as she didn’t wanna spoil my fun. Too cute. The picture below is when we were heading back … Read more

Episode #32: Lost Keys

  I am notorious for losing things by having them fall out of my pockets. Gloves, cards, keys, etc. Really gets annoying because I really do try to keep track of my things. I was really frustrated when I lost the keys in Jeju because it was our last day and we had a lot … Read more
