So no one told you life was gonna be this way
And we’re back for another installment of my time in Korea. On the last episode, I had just finished quarantine and was about to move into the dorms before school started. Well now school has started and so much has happened. To get the bad part out of the way first. I had déjà vu…

Whether I’m scarfing it down at home, eating at a hostel on Saturday morning, or grabbing a petit dejeuner at a restaurant, I can…
