As a friend of mine put it: “Winter is my favorite week of the year!” Despite the cold snap we had last week, this week has been nothing but blue skies! I’ve been able to do a lot on particularly sunny weekends, and it was all so close by! Seeing as it is only…

When life speeds up, you slow down!
After a hiatus from the Blog I am back, and I am pumped to start sharing my experiences with all of you again! Between spring quarter, winter quarter, and fall quarter, winter quarter always goes by faster than all the others, and this year is no exception. Somehow, it is already third week and I…
Friday Night in K.Town
One of the things I like about attending UCLA is that I get to go to Korea Town whenever I want to. Not just because I’m Korean, but because of all the delicious food and the authentic culture found in that place. When I first visited K.Town, I had forgotten that I was in America…
Back to LA
I’ve been back in LA for the past week and it has been one of the best weeks yet! It was nice to be back in my apartment after two weeks all over the state! I was at home for most of the vacation, but I got to spend a night up in Sacramento for…

Fête des Lumières
It’s wintertime here in Lyon! That means snow, lots of soup in my homestay, and the Fête des Lumières. The Fête des Lumières is a giant festival that happens in the beginning of December every year in Lyon. It draws millions of people from around France and around the world. It last for four days and features ~dazzling~…
The Weirdest Week of the Quarter.
Finals week is crazy for so many reasons! It’s always been my least favorite week and my favorite week. Everyone is so sleep deprived and has no class that we all just end up having some of the best memories! It is not uncommon to go into a dorm study lounge at 3 in the…
Parents’ Weekend – French edition
I mentioned in my last post that I spent my Thanksgiving with my parents and that I had a super time, but the fun with mom and dad didn’t stop at Thanksgiving! My mom and her friend came to Lyon in the middle of November and stayed right up to the end of the month….
Merci-giving
At first glance, this year’s Thanksgiving was a tiny bit weird for me. Unlike other American festivities that have found their way to Europe (Halloween, Katy Perry dance parties, etc.), Thanksgiving has remained in its country of origin. Nobody quite understands the tradition or knows how to make a paper turkey by tracing their hand. Add…
Gourmet burgers at The Grove
This past Monday was the first time in my three-and-nearly-a-half years at UCLA that I had visited The Grove in Beverly Hills during the holiday season. Before, I had only heard of it and never had the chance to actually see it in all its splendor during the time of year that it is decked…
