You should get away (to another place)
Da da da! Another installment of my life in Korea. Today is a dual episode of my trip to Busan and Jeju (a very unfortunate trip but more on that later). First, Busan! Busan was such a different experience from Seoul and it was so crazy to see it up close. When we got there,…
