• Low Fat…Low Fun.

  Sitting here, staring into the grey abyss of my cereal bowl. The foul putrid liquid that softens, and dulls the frosted flakes – turning them into flavorless cardboard husks before my very eyes. How did it come to this? Do I deserve this fate, which is surely worse than death?  Low fat…it’s low fun. It’s flavourless,…

• The Morning

  I have often struggled with the morning – it is such a dramatic time. You find yourself lying there in a toasty marshmallow, your comfort levels at a crazed inordinate level – just lounging with the cosy satisfaction that you are sleeping past your alarm…and you don’t even care…time strolls by, and thoughts circle around –…

• HORRIFYING.

  You need to feel sorry for me…like right now – please! I need all of the “there, there!”, the pats on the back…the warm soup, and blanket – ALL OF THAT STUFF! Because to put it plainly I have just been shook to the very core. In fact my whole world may NEVER be the same… Let me just…

• The Awkward Oyster

  Hi friends, honest opinion please on this potential cover…I really like it – but want to get other people’s eyes on it… Little background on this ~ my Grandma used to always say “the world’s your oyster!”, and would perpetually be so enthusiastic about my trips, and well…just about everything I ever did. So this is…

• Washed Thumbs.

  I’ve noticed something (BREEEEP-BREEEEEP! MASSIVE GENERALISATION ALERT! BREEEEP! BREEEEP!) there is less of a fondness towards the washing of one’s hands after use of the lavatory here in Korea. Well, the men at least, the older men in particular – I can’t really speak for the ladies – they frown upon me entering their bathroom you see.…

• Umbrella Please!

  I should probably preface this by pointing out that (in my experience) Koreans are an amiable, friendly, and warm-hearted lot! But naturally there’s always the bad apples…and I met one on Saturday night… The setting was central Itaewon, it’s a very ‘foreigner-friendly’ place, which isn’t particularly my bag – but I was out with friends, and we were heading to the…

• I’m Kim Yuna!

  The kids always ask me what my Korean name is – and so I always wind them up by saying it’s Olympic gold medalist “Kim Yuna”…they get freaked out, and I act all surprised as to what the problem is… “WHY?! Huh?! What do you mean?! My name is Kim Yuna!” …well yeah, suppose I should have…
