So my life has been relatively amusing the last couple of days.  On Saturday, I went to Seoul because I was in desperate need of native-English speaking company and non-Korean food.  I spent most of the day shopping, and I bought a bunch of stuff: some new clothes, a couple of books, new headphones, and some CDs.  I even found some Jelly Bellys at ( Read more... )
