Tailor Made!
Does this fabric look familiar?? I finally got my skirts back from the "tailor". I dropped of 2 of the fabrics I purchased in Daegu last month with a "reformer" in Mugeo-dong.

What’s Pink and Orange and Black all over?

Busan, My second home
While my school had their annual "school picnic" yesterday, I was given the day off! YAY me!...I didn't really care why they gave me the day off as opposed to going to the picnic, but I took the opportunity to get away and enjoy some nice weather.

Reminiscing: Cruising
I love taking cruises. Especially with my mom. Cruising is a great way to see many destinations in a short amount of time. Let's face it, some people don't have a year or 2 months to go off and travel freely. But you can find the perfect cruise even if you have as little as a weekend. Here are some of the reasons why I love cruises...in pictures! Over packing :) Me last … [Read more...]
Song Jeong Beach and MeMe Restaurant Busan
I never made it to the Busan aquarium on Saturday :( BUT... I did find MeMe organic food restaurant! Yay me!
