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…

Week 42: Embracing the End (and Extra!)

Dude, jet lag is mad real. And that basically explains my Sunday and Monday in entirety. Even though this trip was only two-thirds the length of my eurotrip, I’d definitely say it took a greater toll on me due to the dramatic climate change I…

Week 38: Déjà Vu

Well here we are, all over again, ready to leave the country again immediately following the end of my semester at Ewha. Summer is way more like winter than you’d expect. My semester was filled with a learning curve for dance, a bunch of random…

Week 37: Picking Myself Up

I realized this week, as I started falling onto the floor breaking in good ways, I have yet elaborated my b-boying experience to you all. So let’s start now. As you may recall, my hip-hop instructor, Double-D, is incredible. Unsurprisingly, so is his main crew,…

Week 34: Most Wanted

GUYS! I MET MOS WANTED CREW! (Well, only 5 of them but still…) WOW! I took two workshops taught by Brian Puspos and Lando Wilkins, respectively. As you can expect, due to their difference in style, each workshop focused on different movement styles. Brian’s has…

Week 30: Bye Bye BWB

I have some bad news. BWB has to renovate their space and will likely move the studio elsewhere, which means I will not be dancing for a while. Fear not. I will be trying out a new area I have been digging for a while….

Week 23: Mental Expansion

So b-boying is a big thing in Korea. Go to any college-y area and you’ll be sure to see multiple street performers. We even saw breakers for a performance at the 민속촌. 전통 style! So like I was definitely going to try it at some…

Week 7: Am I Getting Lucky?

Lord Almighty, why must there be such an evil like tests to exist? Now, outside the walls of Yale, I felt a little more free from the standard liberal arts curriculum by delving into language learning and self-teaching. But, lo and behold, one can never…

Week 5: Month-iversary

Another week. But actually, I can officially say a new month. Wednesday marked a month since I left the States and Friday marked a month of being in Korea. All in all, pretty hard to believe. So how did I celebrate the month-iversary week? Hip…

Week 3: Ultra Speed

In short time, one of my ventures has come to fruition. Back in the day, I never learned to formally dance nor did I venture to far into the art. But in due time, I grew to truly appreciate over a number of things. YouTube…
