Starbucks has managed to pop up in the Korean countryside. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised.

Me and my co-teacher, Hyunju. Her English name is Chloe. This is her typical pose for pictures.

Korean bbq with my co-workers.

Korean summers are very hot and humid and I don't have air conditioning in my apartment. To beat the heat, I sometimes escape to an air conditioned cafe that serves bingsu, a popular Korean dessert in the summertime. Bingsu is essentially shaved ice with toppings. In this case blue berries and a small scoop of ice cream.

In this case, syrupy blue berries and a small scoop of ice cream. It was delicious.
