You Know You’re Used to Korea When…..

……a very loud air-raid siren goes off at the same time as some jets fly past and it only raises a mild curiosity in you about whats happening.   (Turns out – according to a post on Facebook by Say Kimchi Recruiting – it was just an earthquake drill, I think the jets flying past [...]

Too Much Month At The End Of The Money!

I’ve recently decided to go on a saving mission, saving half of my salary each month.  I’ve actually been meaning to do it ever since I arrived in Korea but never have, there’s been far too much to see and do, and quite frankly I just enjoy living a decadent lifestyle!  This month I meant [...]

Pulling Out of a Marathon

Up until about three weeks ago I’d been having some great runs, I was feeling confident and happy and my preparation for the Seoul Marathon looked to be well on track! But then the weather turned icy cold!  I went out training all the same, and on one late long run it all went horribly [...]

Just What The Doctor Ordered

In the run up to this weekend I really didn’t know what I was going to do with myself; my boyfriend was going to be in meetings out of town, and my three besties were off on a sailing weekend that I’d decided not to go on.  Two days and three nights of not seeing [...]

Change Is In The Air – Part 2!

So, last week saw the start of my marathon training get underway.  This week has seen me sign up to Weight Watchers online!  I was in great shape three months ago, but three months of not doing a lot have wreaked havoc on my body!  I think a combination of finding the running so tough last [...]

Change Is In The Air

Settling back into life in Korea after my holiday in the UK with friends and family was surprisingly hard last week.  Before I left I was pretty sure I’d just slide straight back in to life here, I’m not sure what made it so hard, maybe it was that I’d had such a nice time [...]
