Busan | First Impressions
My first week in Busan has been and gone now, and it’s taken some getting used to. I had thought that since I’ve already lived in Hong Kong – a big, metropolitan Asian city – that Busan would…
Moving to South Korea
What. Is. My. Life. Seriously. Just over a year ago I published this post, entitled “I’m Moving to Hong Kong” which was the first terrifying steps towards a year that, in the end, turned out to be pretty…
