Hey folks, I would like to first thank you guys for reading my rants, reflections, and regrets throughout this entire experience. I know I can really be an asshole but I would say I had a pinch of golden moments. Although I am very eager…
Holy crap, my final week in Korea. Obviously there was food and tons of it that might have actually been too much but like come on, it’s so good. Yeah, I am definitely going to miss that. My week was also spent saying farewell to…
