No Julia...but still a Child perhaps

With a few days left of the holiday, I enjoyed a nice run along the river this morning and this evening I sat down to watch Julia and Julie. It almost made me want to put on a pair of pearls and start cooking. The movie was great and afterwards, I performed my version of cooking which is steamed vegetable and pan fried chicken. It's healthy, easy and also one of the few things I can cook. I suppose one day I will have a family to cook for and I can indulge myself in the fine art, but as for now I stand in my tiny Korean kitchen wearing my underwear, bra, and slippers drinking green tea as I steam vegetables. I may not be Julia Child, but it will do for now. Bon Appetit.

Happy New Year... again

It's Chinese New Year, and its a big holiday here in Korea... We call it "Sol-Nal". January 1 may be when the calendar year changes but this is the true start of the New Year for many other countries.

It's my last holiday in Korea! 25 days left~ Spring will be here soon and I will be be starting a new beginning along with Mother Nature.

It is said that Spring is the time for enlightenment, and love. Spring is the one time of year where new beginnings are taking shape; trees and plants are blossoming and growing, new leaves can be spotted on the trees and everything is given a new lease of life for the new year ahead.


















Last year around this time, I was teaching art.
These are a few of my photos from class.
