Since arriving in Seoul three months ago, I have had the chance to play tour guide on several occasions for friends that visited as well as for Kelli's parentals. Consequently, I also became a campus tour guide for the International Office here at Konkuk University. So trust me when I say that I'm pretty okay at showing people places, and that if you ever visit me in Seoul, I'll show you some pretty neat stuff. In fact, let me name a few...

Korean fried chicken addict
by Matt Dela Peña
First of all, there's a thing here in Korea that I really wish was a thing in the U.S. because often, putting pants on takes too much time. That is, the food delivery system in this country straight up phenomenal. For every restaurant that exists in Seoul, pretty much 9 out of 10 deliver to your front step. And most of them deliver no, not pizza—but chicken, and that's exactly how a certain fried poultry addiction of mine all started.

Loving the Kansai Region!
by Josie Losh
Hello, Readers! My first travel of spring break has just finished and do I ever have a lot to share with you!
Along with five of my friends, I set out on a 6-day spring break trip to Osaka, with day trips to Nara and Kyoto. Our group composed of two Japanese, Swedish, Armenian, Belgian, and American exchange students. For most of us, it wasn't our first time in the Kansai region, but it was our first REAL stay there, and boy was it worth it!

Hitting a few bumps on the road... (setbacks and culture shock) & field trip!
by Josie Losh
I can’t believe it, but it’s been a month since I’ve come to Japan. Somehow, it feels like I’ve been here longer than a month. Every day seems to stretch out inconceivably longer than a day in America, even with going to bed earlier and getting up later than I typically do at Pacific University.
