Now, I'm not Korean, obviously, but I am pretty good at cooking, and have spent my fair share of time researching and tasting various Korean foods. So, I can vouch for the recipes I make to be true-to-taste!

Not good, not good at all!
My excuse could be the fact that I was studying quite diligently and had plenty on my plate to keep me away. I'll strive to be better from now on!
Truth be told, my entire stay in Korea was amazing, and certainly plenty of stories to share! However, it didn't really bring any culture shock, which is the main reason why I wasn't recording my life daily. I know it sounds a little strange, since it was my first time in South Korea AND I'm not even Asian, having spent my entire life in the place where history comes from - Europe. I will talk about this in a separate post, I think, since I want to make this post rather short.
And to end things, I have plenty of topics to cover, from travel/lifestyle to all things feminine. Since I have plenty of spare time ahead, I will make sure to post at least a few times a week, if not every day.
So, grab a cuppa tea and enjoy! Ciao for now!
XoXo,
Specs
