Its started out as just a challenge, a 30 day challenge to be exact. But it quickly became something more. Well actually let me clarify.

Face Mask: Korean style
Its pretty much a given to purchase a face mask if you live in Korea. Why? Because some people everyone doesn't know how to cover their mouths when they cough or sneeze. Especially on public transportation which is always crowded, steaming hot with closed windows and its freaking annoying. Its confusing though because people wear face masks here when they are sick but at the … [Read more...]
