Feelin' happy
There it is. My year in a nutshell: doing yoga has kept me sane. (Although if I exposed the full truth, I'd elaborate about long Skype calls, wine, chocolate...) But it's the bending and breathing of yoga that make a lasting impact.Feelin' happy
I've practiced on and off since high school always loving the balance it brough to my life. But when a friend that's been here a few years told me, "teaching in Korea's a good time to dive into hobbies," I didn't hesitate. I couldn't agree with him more, and I tell every newcomer I meet.

She looked at me straight in the eyes and said, "You know you want me. Just look how sumptuous and enticing I am. You can't resist me." Feelin' normal
I tried to look away. I tried to think of something else, but she just wouldn't go away. I know that if I indulged now, I would feel it later.

Feelin' thoughtful
Just outside the entrance and surrounding the outdoor viewing entrance of the Namsan tower, there is a fence convered with locks. These aren't just any locks. They're not designed to keep you out (or keep you in); instead they're there because lovers put them there.Feelin' thoughtful
