Life in Korea

People said it is autumn in Korea now, but I feel it is already winter to me. The temperature is around 5°C, and it is even lower at night. It is been almost 8 months since I moved to Seoul. I enjoy my life here very much. The job is the best in my career. The weather is mild and comfortable. The apartment I live is modern and large. What more can I ask for as a Taiwanese in Korea?

全州一日遊

2012年韓國觀光局為推廣觀光，提供外國遊客免費從首爾到全州（전주）和釜山的巴士。因為考試後很想離開首爾出去散散心，我就在出發一週前上網預約到全州的巴士，本來以為已經全部客滿沒座位，沒想到竟然收到email通知說我得到了座位。
