Kids’ Halloween Party

So Halloween this year was a bit of a bummer, especially after last year's being so much fun! A big part of the reason was that I got sick over the weekend, so couldn't make it out on Saturday night, which was when most people were going out…

Busan Fireworks Festival

I heard a lot about the Fireworks Festival in Busan during the weeks leading up to it, as its one of the largest fireworks displays in Asia. It takes place every October, and this was its 12th year. The display lasts for around an hour, with a short…

Outfit – Year Round

First of all, given the horrible lighting in my current flat, I did some experimenting for these photos, which I took on the roof of my building. I much prefer natural light to fluorescents, though it was a bit overcast the day I took these. Anyway, on to…

Gamcheon Cultural Village | Busan

This past weekend I ticked off one of the top places on my list of things to see in Busan, and that was Gamcheon Cultural Village. A lot of places around here that I've seen so far have been nice, but they've mostly been beaches or shopping areas…

Outfit – New Addition

I've noticed recently that whenever I go shopping, I have a tendency to buy dresses, skirts, cardigans and shoes mainly (jeans and shorts when I need them), but I never seem to come away with many tops. Perhaps because they're typically the plainest part of my outfits -…

Review – Set It Off: Upside Down

Set It Off's third studio album, Upside Down, is certainly that - upside down. It's a record with so many musical styles infused throughout out. Although the band are typically classified somewhere within the broad rock genre, I do sometimes feel like they have echoes of a 90s…
