Biking along the Han River |
This past week I was able to make a quick trip to Seoul to visit my college suitemate who lives there. It was such a meaningful visit as she was a generous and dedicated hostess. I was really impressed by the food. Otherwise, I’d say the biggest difference from daily life in Taipei is the colder weather and the size.
