The Kimchi Chronicles
I think it’s time I introduce all of you to another Kpop song. This one’s been around for a while, but it’s still pretty popular. I don’t hear it on the streets as much anymore, but it’s guaranteed to play whenever I’m out for the night.
I haven’t posted a K-pop song in a while. This one is everywhere right now. Good luck getting it out of your head.

Stephanie, Albert, Myra, and I took the subway to Seoul on Thursday evening to go to our hostel, also known as the Yellow Submarine. Early Friday morning, James and Allison met up with us, and we took a tour to the Demilitarized Zone. The DMZ is about an hour north of Seoul and is obviously [...]
Last night I went to see the No Doubt reunion concert with some friends. We were originally standing way back at the lawn, but were fortunately upgraded to the pit! Thank you, No Doubt, for caring about your fans. That was an experience I will never forget.
