Description
Happy Mother’s Day! Did you remember to call? If not, do it today and you can blame the time difference!
Still in Seoul, South Korea, most likely flying out tomorrow to Osaka. Need to find a finger printing place and then need to apply for a police background check somehow. Seriously doubting this job application.
How has Seoul been? Very quiet! Only 9 million people here contrast that with Beijing. And it’s definitely not as hot!
Walking around Hongdae and saw a local band playing on Sunday afternoon.
Quiet nights in the hostel because… they aren’t getting back until sunrise! Oh, how I remember those days!
And how was the gym? Getting the workouts in? YES!
