Week 59: Daejeon Mustard

Hope you enjoyed the word play. Jeremy signed us for a little frisbee gathering (aka a Hat Tournament for the more frisbee-literate) out in 대전 (Daejeon), which is a super beautiful city with wide blue skies and mountains enclosing it. Just look at the scene…

Week 48: A Mountain of Work

A friend once told me the best way to productive is to just to keep yourself constantly busy. After this week, I’m wondering if they are a masochist. That was just a slight, but damn, I feel a bit like one now myself. The week…

Summer Jammin', Singapore Remix

Day 1… Actually f*** that, let’s just go through everything in a sprint. Red-eye via a cheap Singapore Airlines roundtrip with a spare seat and Academy Award-nominated new releases all ready to watch. You could say my flight in was pretty comfy. (Likewise for my…

The Elephant by Raohe

Day 5 Dude, tired could not describe my situation. An all-nighter plus climbing three mountains was far from my idea of the relaxing time I planned on spending in Taiwan. But man, was it pretty incredible. Well, that’s basically what I thought before I went…

The Bridge Up North

Day 3 So my Singaporean hostel roommate gave me some tips on where to visit in Taiwan. He spent a month backpacking all around Taiwan. He travelled the entire coastline, through numerous mountains, and through the plains. As a backpacker, it was hard not to…

19th Annual Busan International Film Festival

As promised, I went to the 19회 부산국제영화제 (19th Annual Busan International Film Festival). In short, cinema dopeness. First off, I didn’t get to stay there as long as I wanted due to lack off Cinemaphile tickets, an upcoming midterm, and the fact that I…

Fuji Overnight

Waking up, I originally intended on going to the supermarket as early as possible to buy my stock of food to devour for the overnight climb. By some strange turn of events, I woke up earlier than the store opened. I probably should have checked…

Osaka Loaded

Day 1 A large portion of my morning resembled self loathing for the shopper’s remorse I dealt with. The Jansport bag I bought in Dubai has proven itself to be pure crap, time and time again. I knew I should have just bought a finer…

16th Jeongdongjin Independent Film Festival

There’s nothing better than taking a little escape right before your last week of classes for the semester. Ewha basically implied that by giving us a three-day weekend, which happened to be quite convenient because Diallo’s host invited us to the 제16회 정동진 독립 영화제 (16th…

Week 10: Fights, Fuji & Film

Sunday morning, homework still left over from missing a few days of classes from Ramadan struggles and an apparent lack of motivation after being bogged down by so many repetitive class hours. To make matters worse, it was the first time I missed the weekly…
