It hasn’t been that cold this winter, unlike last year, but the chill is still enough to make me miss warmer weather (just a bit). The other day I came across some photos from a perfect summer weekend I had once, with hot, sunny weather and an abundance of free time. My …read more

trdlo and red wine waterfalls: a christmas in prague
A few years ago, Christmas found me here. It was sort of an impromptu trip, devised when we came across cheap train deals from Berlin. The first night I arrived, I came across an open tank of massive fish on the sidewalk. They were huge and dark, and thrashing in the water …read more
a year in review, january to july
JANUARY New Years at the Albatross Pub, where we played Scattergories and darts (and Mary got a bullseye, dead on) and drank beer and irish coffees and ate all of the free popcorn.
oh finally
It’s finally been snowy in Seoul. I understand that, as someone who never grew up with snow outside of the occasional winter vacation, I get a little too excited over something that others, who have actually had to live with it, can find irritating. But c’mon…isn’t it beautiful? The last time I …read more
london through its neighborhoods: primrose hill & one last look at camden
Ok, honestly – who doesn’t want to live on a street like this? Everything was quiet, quaint, cool and grey… Pretty much my idea of a nice place to come home to. Primrose Hill is the antithesis of its neighbor Camden: prim, proper, quiet and dainty. Also apparently home to a number …read more
london through its neighborhoods: brick lane
A new day, a new side of the city! On my second day in London, I met up with another friend for breakfast in Brick Lane, where she’s been living for the past year while getting her Masters. Why do I feel like the only person left who hasn’t moved to London …read more
london through its neighborhoods: camden town & angel
How can anyone go to London without visiting Camden Town? Well, I don’t know, but somehow I missed it the first time I came round. An old roommate of mine was half English, and she told me that I had to go if I ever made it back to London. And I …read more
london through its neighborhoods: soho & the west end
Soho was just a short walk away, so I cut through Chinatown to get to it. And apparently headed through the theatre district as well… (to the dismay of some friends, musical theatre is entirely lost on me) God, I love the gay district. Isn’t London supposed to be grey and rainy …read more
london through its neighborhoods: covent garden
After my morning geneological adventure, I caught the Tube into town and started noticing all the placards around advising you on your behavoir…am I the only one who’s put off by that? I wandered over to Covent Garden, which wound up being a huge shopping mecca – cheap souvenirs, nice souvenirs, international …read more
london through its neighborhoods: kew gardens
Ash cloud be damned, I made it to London! After a cancelled flight, and a last-minute standby seat, then accidently taking the long train from Gatwick, I finally rolled up to my aunt and uncle’s house (new ones, obvs) in Kew Gardens at 1AM. Their neighborhood is unbelievably adorable, a little residential …read more
